Hi, what food should I avoid post-surgery? Just a minor one to remove a lump/cyst. thanks?

Probably none, but ask the doctor or doctor's nurse.

Avoid anything that costs more than a dime - save money to keep the "healthcare professionals" happy!
Reply:i had a fibroadenoma removed from my boob, and i could eat anything i wanted. it really depends on where you had the lump removed from, if it was anywhere like your throat or stomach, i could see avoiding foods, but if it was like your boob or ankle, you can eat any food you want!
Reply:Ask your doctor - and do it beforehand! It may be that you don't need to avoid anything - on the other hand, the type of anesthesia you receive will have a lot to do with what your system may tolerate in the 24 hours following the procedure.
Reply:Eat whatever you want.





The issue of eating is related to anesthesia, unless the surgery is on your mouth, throat or digestive tract.





If it isn't in those areas, eat what appeals. If it makes you nauseous, don't eat it.





Usually they start with clear liquids (anything you can see through, plus sherbet, popsicles, juice, jello, etc.), then full liquids (those you cannot see through--including ice cream, soups, thin cooked cereals), then soft bland, then regular.





You can start with regular food if you want to, and back up if it is disagreeable.
Reply:one that i know is foods containing garlic.


they say garlic would prevent blood from clotting.
Reply:My coworker just had the same minor procedure. She kept hydrated and ate broccoli and blueberries (which are a good antioxidant).
