Hi there, unfortunate folk who just had their appendix surgically removed! First things first, congratulations on surviving the procedure. Unless this is some sort of post-humor mortem article, in which case… well, too late for that.

But what’s the next step after appendectomy? When it comes to dieting ideas that’ll help your body and emotions cope with surgery aftermath, fear not – this guy’s got you covered. Buckle up and get ready for an array of meal plans designed to make your recovery quicker and smoother!

Introducing: The Magical World Of Liquid Foods!

One of the most important factors within nine days after surgery is making sure food consumption doesn’t cause irritation in any way possible. That means eliminating acidic foods (yeah sorry folks no citrus fruits for now) as well as anything too crunchy or hard-to-digest.

Drinking Lots Of Water
Make sure you’re having enough water each day – 6-8 glasses per day at least; dehydration really ain’t it chief.

Fruit And Vegetable Juices
Juices such as carrot juice can be great choices due its anti-inflammatory properties.

Soups

Opting for soups, both clear broth and creamy options alike will do wonders since they’re easy to digest without giving stomach possibly an extra bop. Homemade soup stocks are much better than canned products out there because canned ones are packed full of salt needs excessive absorption time thus defeat quality purposes by generating gas inside intestines instead calming them down..

Be Fruitful And Multiply Your Meals

Fruits have natural nutrients needed during those times whereby eating solid food would still feel like attempting to chow down pebbles with dental braces. A fruit smoothie may work excellently here as well:

Milkshakes/Malted Milk Shakes: Dark chocolate milkshake?? Sign me up! You can create a creamy milkshake with almost any fruit gelatin or sorbet. Throw in some dark chocolate syrup for a richer taste. Likewise, malted milkshakes are also one of your options.

Fruit Smoothies: Create your own favorite smoothie recipe online to tailor fit to what suits you – different flavors and textures available here like never before!

Healing Properties Of Specific Foods

A healthy diet can speed things up the way within first few days after appendix surgery by going medicinally-augmented meals.

Oatmeal
The last thing an upset bowel would want is inflammation which means it’s time for good ol’ boring oats again: Specifically, low sodium steel cut oatmeal its fiber rich compound settles stomaches down very quicky not letting extra gas development get into play either.

Yogurt and Kefir
After antibiotics might wipe out body’s natural bacteria flora completely leaving room open tp germs, yogurt having active cultures (namely Lactobacillus) is likely on top healing food list but for God’s sake people please don’t make yourselves miserable with plain Yogurt – thick Greek yogurt makes it much more palatable!!

Conclusion

In conclusion after-surgery diets aren’t easy bets but these suggestions will help guide you through the rocky terrain as smoothly possible no pun intended since we’re sitting ducks post-op anyway until those stitch wounds heal properly so exercise patience while tracking progress over time.
