The Best Gallbladder surgeon in Delhi, Dr. Ashish Vashistha explained All about the POST
OPERATIVE PERIOD –
- Like any other surgical procedure, Laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients will feel little pain in port sites and nausea due to anesthesia.
- Early mobility helps to reduce pain and bloating also goes away with walking in the room.
- At the time of discharge, we give some medication for 5 days and ask patients to rest for 2-3 days.
- While resting at home, the patient needs to avoid constipation. To do so, it is suggested to consume high-fiber foods, such as fruits and vegetables to make stool bulkier and softer, stay adequately hydrated by drinking enough water 8-10 glasses/ day, and refrain from straining during bowel movement.
- To continuously promote mobilization and prevent blood clot formation, especially in the legs, the patient should gradually resume daily tasks and activities, starting from getting up and walking.
- Lifting heavy objects in the gym and strenuous exercise are not suggested for at least 4-6 weeks after surgery.
- Keep the surgical wound site clean and follow the surgeon’s instructions on how and when to replace the bandage.
- It seems common to have some minor bleeding from the incision. However, if it bleeds too much and the incision becomes moist, immediate medical assistance must be sought.
The Best Gallbladder surgeon in Delhi, Dr. Ashish Vashistha explained about Diet:-
DIET-
The gallbladder is a storing pouch-like structure and no special diet is recommended after cholecystectomy. The liver produces bile and it goes directly into the intestine. Generally, it is recommended to keep low fat diet for a few days after surgery as high fat can lead to diarrhoea and bloating.
On the First day after surgery – soups and Dal are recommended.
Second day onwards, start a low-fat balanced diet with more protein like fish, pulses, tofu, and low-fat dairy.
Third day onwards, you can start with a normal diet with 3- 5 glasses of water daily to avoid constipation. Excess consumption of greasy food fried or cooked with excess oils, cheese,
pizza, and other food containing trans fat must be strictly avoided.
To improve gastrointestinal motility, a high-fiber diet can be gradually consumed over weeks.
Try to keep small portions of meal size as it is easy to digest. If you feel weak, please do meet
a nutritionist to help you identify essential nutrients to be added to your diet.
The Best Gallbladder surgeon in Delhi, Dr. Ashish Vashistha says in short that laparoscopic/robotic cholecystectomy is a simple surgery and you can expect to start a routine job in 3- 5 days.
