The body needs a few weeks to recover after a gastrectomy. It is essential to eat protein-rich foods to aid recovery and prevent further weight loss. During this period, you will have to adapt to a new situation, to learn to understand what happens in your body with different foods, types of cooking or amounts. During this time, the body needs easily digestible foods so that the stomach can adapt to its reduced capacity and functionality. Each person is different, so the amount of time needed to go back to eating everything will vary; the important thing is to progress every day and introduce foods and dishes gradually.<\/br>
\n After a partial gastrectomy, the remaining part of the stomach may suffer from gastroparesis – a disorder that slows or stops the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine – leading to nausea, acid reflux, a premature sense of fullness, hiccups and belching, which can make it hard to eat properly for the first few weeks. This makes a diet with an easily digestible mashed texture necessary. Once this situation has been overcome, feeding can be progressively improved without changing the texture and increasing the amounts.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It is recommended to consume about 1.5 litres of liquid per day, but because that is not always easy, it is preferable to try to reach the maximum that each person can tolerate.
\n In many cases, water alone is not well tolerated, so other liquids should be drunk, such as broth, diluted juice or diluted vegetable and fruit smoothies. Jellies and popsicles are also an option.
\n It is advisable to always drink outside of meals and in small amounts, and not to drink within 30 to 60 minutes before and after meals.<\/p>\n
