What can you eat right after having an appendectomy?
Disease description:
A few days ago, my child had an appendicitis attack and underwent appendectomy surgery. The doctor said spicy foods should be avoided, but I'm wondering what kinds of food are allowed?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Cheng Yicheng
After an appendectomy, patients can generally consume liquid or semi-liquid foods such as rice porridge, millet porridge, and pork liver soup. These foods contain abundant amino acids and protein, which not only provide essential nutrients but also avoid increasing the burden on the intestines, thereby promoting wound healing. Normal diet can usually resume only after the condition has gradually improved.
