You can eat fish after surgery. Postoperative diet should meet the two points of being nutritious and easy to absorb.

Extended information:

Four key points of postoperative diet:

1. Do not consume excessive amounts of high-protein foods

High-protein foods such as meat Although fish, eggs, etc. are rich in nutrients, the post-operative diet should be diverse and nutritionally balanced. There is definitely no benefit in eating only high-protein foods or even protein powder.

2. Don’t be superstitious about soup replenishment

After surgery, family members often cook some meat soup for patients, but in fact, the nutritional value of chicken soup and fish soup is not as high as it seems. If you drink chicken soup or fish soup, remember to eat the fish and chicken.

3. Eat less greasy food

Greasy food is not easy to digest, and it is not easy for patients who usually have a poor appetite after surgery. Postoperative diet and cooking methods are mainly stewing, boiling, and steaming, with less use of frying and barbecue.

4. Don’t just drink white porridge

White porridge is one of the first choices for easy digestion after surgery, but its nutritional content is not high. You can drink white porridge after surgery, but you can’t just drink white porridge, otherwise it will lead to nutritional deficiencies.

In addition to the above 4 points, patients and their families should remember to follow the doctor’s instructions after surgery. If the doctor says you can’t drink or eat, you should never touch it. There is no theory that eating/drinking is okay, otherwise, you will end up suffering. It's the patient.
