How to properly manage the postoperative diet for gallbladder cancer patients

Dietary management after surgery for gallbladder cancer is crucial. Below are detailed dietary recommendations:

1. Avoid greasy and irritating foods such as chili peppers, mustard, and fried foods to reduce gastrointestinal burden and promote postoperative recovery.

2. Consume an appropriate amount of dietary fiber by eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, which helps intestinal motility and prevents constipation.

3. Maintain a balanced intake of meat and plant-based foods, choosing light and easily digestible options such as lean meat, seafood, and soy products to ensure nutritional balance.

4. Develop regular eating habits, aiming for small, frequent meals to reduce pressure on the gastrointestinal tract. In the early postoperative period, start with light and easily digestible foods such as rice porridge and noodles, gradually introducing a wider variety of foods as recovery progresses.

5. Avoid alcohol and excessive intake of fat and cholesterol to prevent liver dysfunction or bile duct stones.

If needed, it is recommended to develop a more specific diet plan under the guidance of a physician.
