Diet Plan after Appendix Operation

Inflammation of the appendix or appendicitis is a medical condition that occurs in this small finger-shaped gland in our intestines due to residual blockage which causes bacterial infections. It causes pain in the right abdominal portion which becomes severe with movements, along with nausea, vomiting, fever, and inability to pass gas and requires immediate surgery to remove it.

Dietician Sheela Seharawat says what we eat and drink after the surgery depends on how fast and efficiently we recover. Starting with the liquid diet plan before processing into a soft diet and then to high fiber foods with certain considerations like eating smaller portions is the appropriate means to recover efficiently post-surgery. With a good diet, plan post appendix surgery would help recover a patient within a couple of weeks.
