Dietary care after thyroid cancer surgery

After thyroid cancer surgery, follow a low-fat and low-protein diet in the short term, and consume more foods rich in vitamin A and vitamin E, such as kiwi fruit, strawberries, and shiitake mushrooms. In the long term after surgery, if there are no other complications, normal eating can resume. If the surgery was a partial thyroidectomy, reduce intake of iodine-containing foods. If it was a total thyroidectomy, no dietary restrictions are necessary.
