    Nutritional care


    STAGES OF THE DIET

    STAGE 1


    Stage 1 of the diet begins approximately 24 hours after the Surgery, and consists in chewing shaved ice in order to improve digestion and with water ingestion in slow sips, in order of 30-40ml every 30 minutes to maintain hydrated.

     

    STAGE 2


    If or it is tolerated, diet advances to Stage 2 or diet of clear liquids, consisting of the ingestion of cattle, chicken or vegetable broths, diluted fruit juices (gradually the patient will be able to tolerate them more concentrated), not carbonated sweetened artificially drinks, free sugar gelatin and free sugar ice or caramel trowels, for following the three weeks.

    STAGE 3



    To the fourth week and as the clear liquids are tolerated, Stage 3 begins with pureed or soft food; foods are liquefied or processed until obtaining a consistency of baby food. In this stage it is necessary to stop drinking 30min prior and 30min after meals, to learn to stop eating whenever you feel satisfied and, since the new form of feeding is low in calories and probably it is required to optimize nutrition and prevent nutritional deficiencies, to begin taking daily vitamins (indicated by your physician)

    STAGE 4


    Stage 4 consists of an indefinite low balanced solid fat diet, modified according to the necessities of each patient. In this stage patients must:

      1. Eat within regular intervals: at least have breakfast one hour after waking up; do not leave more than 6hr between each food; and avoid eating after the nine p.m.
      2. Chew foods very well, 15 and 20 times before swallowing them.
      3. Avoid "pecking" between meals, since the intention of the operation could be weakened.
      4. Continue an intake of 1.5 to 2lt of liquid per day; the ideal to carry a water bottle everywhere.

    The plan of feeding after Surgery must followed with fair care, since it is fundamental so that results are the awaited ones

    Remember that you count with the support of the medical and nutritional team to help you surpass any difficulty that could be presented.

    Dr. Adriana Sepulveda Perales, Clinic Nutritionist

     
     
    Going Back Home
