After surgery on appendix

There aren't really any foods to avoid. She should just eat healthy foods. Good nutrition is very important for effective healing. She needs a good source of protein because our cells need lots of quality protein to repair themselves. For a while, she will just need to take it easy and not do anything too strenuous. She doesn't want to tear apart the healing before it is complete. Just take it slow and easy for a while and slowly add activities until she is fully recovered and it doesn't hurt any more. I hope she feels better soon!

a lot of bed rest and keep the are clean and free of any dirt as for meds or food I not sure other then after about a week maybe neosorine for the cut

I have not had appendectomy but I believe this is a major operation so just like other major operations, your girlfriend must complete the antibiotics prescribed by the doctor. Don't she ever stop taking antibiotics not unless the prescribed amount has been completed. Even if the wound outside looks healed it does not mean she should stop medication. The outside wounds heals first and faster but inside does not. She will regret it in the years to come if she did not complete the antibiotics unless her body could consume natural antibiotics that will heal the inner wound completely. But why take the chance? Just take all the prescription and be safe, okay? Also she should not subject herself to any forceful movement. Bed rest is required and then slowly go back to normal life but with some restrictions on movement and also on foods that will somehow deter the healing process. Taking lots Vitamin C rich foods is a must.

Nothing but time and rest will make her recover fast. Everyone's body is different. Slowly have her walk around.

Hi, I think healthy diet and bed rest is enough for her. My nephew had this operation in his childhood but he had taken rest for some days and then he was ready to play again. So don't worry. your girlfriend will be alright soon.

Hi friend ! Good that she's okay now ! The only thing i can suggest is give him lost of fresh fruits to promote fast healing . She needs also to be up in bed and do some slow walking , this can promote blood circulations and prevent her from pneumonia complications.Let her take a bath everyday , good hygiene should be observed , that myth that if one is operated he should not take a bath is very wrong ! Hope i have contributed ! God bless !

I had an appendectomy 14 years ago, and I really don't remember what I did to heal quickly. I did have a hysterectomy at the same time, so I do know that i couldn't lift anything heavy whatsoever, so I wouldn't rip my incision open. I can't recall not eating certain foods either, as i imagine I ae the same as always. i know, that my daughter came and stayed with me, while I was recovering, and she did the cooking and cleaning for me, as i couldn't bend over or do anything strenuous at all. My suggesting is that your girlfriend not lift anything to heavy, or don't lift anything at all. She should rest too, to heal faster. take care, and have a very good day.

Full recovery from the said surgery of appendicectomy takes about 4-6 weeks like any other abdominal surgery. During this period, physical activity should be restricted for better tissue healing. What the patient needs to do is to keep the incision clear to promote healing and avoid infection. As any surgery causes negative nitrogen balance in the body, the patient must take high protein diet. All thses are sufficient for a speedy recovery. In spite of all these precautions, if one has some post-operative complications, one needs to consult with one's surgeon.
