It is best to avoid whole milk dairy products as they may upset
your stomach further because your body might have trouble
breaking it down. However, dairy products that are low in fat or
are fat free may be easier for your body to digest due to the low
fat content.
It’s time to get a high fiber, good protein, low-fat diet.
If you are struggling with post-operative symptoms like diarrhea,
indigestion, etc, try to introduce one food from each category at a
time. Try to introduce one grain, one dal, one fruit, one
vegetable, and one nut/ seeds at a time. Wait for 4-5 days, then
introduce the second one from each category. Don’t be in hurry
to start everything together.Go slow but steady.
AVOID BROWN RICE
Carbohydrates
A major source of energy, carbohydrates should make
up 50–60% of your diet
Carbohydrates, or carbs, are sugar molecules. Along
with proteins and fats, carbohydrates are one of three
main nutrients found in foods and drinks.
Your body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose.
Glucose, or blood sugar, is the main source of energy
for your body's cells, tissues, and organs. Glucose can
be used immediately or stored in the liver and
muscles for later use.
Broccoli - A nutrient-dense vegetable with low carb
content, containing only about 6 grams of carbs per
100 grams
Cauliflower - A non-starchy, complex carbohydrate
with lots of fiber and low amounts of natural sugar
Spinach - A very filling vegetable because most of its
carbohydrates come from fiber. It's also low in
calories
Cucumber - A hydrating vegetable that contains only
1.6 grams of net carbs per half cup
Mushrooms - Contain soluble fiber to help keep your
blood sugar in check
Raisins and other dried fruit are especially
carbohydrate-dense, as is fruit juice. Bananas,
pineapples, grapes, mangoes, apples, and figs are
some of the higher-carb fruits.

One large egg has 6-8 grams of protein, twice the amount in
a slice of bacon.Eggs, like dairy, also have all nine essential
amino acids, making them a powerful protein for vegetarians.
Fats
A rich source of energy, fats also help maintain body
temperature and absorb vitamins A, D, and E.
Dietary fat (fat in foods and drinks) is important for
many body processes. For example, it helps move
some vitamins around the body and helps with
making hormones. There are 4 types of dietary fat –
monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, saturated and
trans fat.
Unsaturated fats, which are liquid at room
temperature, are considered beneficial fats because
they can improve blood cholesterol levels, ease
inflammation, stabilize heart rhythms, and play a
number of other beneficial roles
There are 2 types og 'good' unsaturated fats
Monounsaturated - Olive, peanut, canola oil. Avacado,
almonds, pumpkin and seasme seeds.
Polyunsaturated - sunflower, corn, soyabean, flaxseed
oil. Walnuts, Flax seed, Canola oil(safed sarson ka tel)

Vitamins
There are 13 essential vitamins, but vitamins A, B, C,
and D are especially important
capsicum - contains Vitamin C , Vitamin A ,Vitamin B com
Spinach - contains Vitamin C , Vitamin A ,Vitamin B comp
Broccoli - contain Vitamin C , Vitamin A ,Vitamin B comp
Cauliflower - Contain Vitamin C , Vitamin A , folate , Vi
Minerals
Help release energy from food and promote organ
growth. Some essential minerals include iron, calcium,
potassium, iodine, and sodium
Your body uses minerals for many different jobs,
including keeping your bones, muscles, heart, and
brain working properly. Minerals are also important for
making enzymes and hormones.
Nuts and seeds
Eggs, Beans, Leafy greens
strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and
raspberries, are not only delicious but also an
excellent source of important minerals.
Dairy products, including yogurt and cheese, are
some of the most common sources of calcium in the
diet. Calcium is needed to maintain a healthy skeletal
system and essential for your nervous system and
heart health
Eating ancient grains, including amaranth, millet,
quinoa, and sorghum, has been associated with a
variety of health benefits.
Unlike refined grains, ancient grains are high in a
number of important nutrients, including magnesium,
potassium, phosphorus, zinc, manganese, and copper
(34Trusted Source, 35Trusted Source).
Replacing refined grains and grain products like white
rice, white pasta, and white bread with ancient grains
and ancient grain products can significantly increase
your mineral intake.
Tropical fruits - include bananas, mango, pineapple,
passion fruit, guava, and jackfruit
Fiber
Helps with digestion and can lower cholesterol and control blood
sugar levels
There are 2 categories of fibre – soluble and insoluble. Both are
beneficial and we need to include them in our daily diets. Most
plant foods contain a mixture of both.
Soluble fibre soaks up water like a sponge and helps to bulk out
our poo (faeces) so it can pass through the gut more easily. It acts
to slow down the rate of digestion.Soluble fibre includes pectins,
gums and mucilage, which are found mainly in plant cells.
One of its major roles is to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. It can
also help with constipation.
Good sources of soluble fibre include:
fruit and vegetables
oat bran, barley, seed husks, flaxseed, psyllium
legumes – dried beans, lentils, peas
soy milk and soy products.
Insoluble fibre does not absorb water and speeds up the time that
food passes through the gut.
Insoluble fibre includes cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin, which
make up the structural parts of plant cell walls.
A major role of insoluble fibre is to add bulk to faeces and to
prevent constipation and associated problems (such as
haemorrhoids).
Good sources of insoluble fibre include:
bran – wheat bran, corn bran, rice bran
the skins of fruits and vegetables
nuts and seeds
dried beans
wholegrain foods. One of its major
roles is to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. It can also help with
constipation.
