Epilogue

Clear answers to the question of how to eat properly after stomach cancer surgery.
This book divides the stages of post-operative diet into stages based on the experience at Severance Hospital.
It was divided into four stages: the first meal after lifting the fast after surgery, the porridge stage where porridge was eaten for one week after discharge, the next stage where a thicker porridge was eaten, and the next stage where rice was eaten starting with plain rice.
If the period and application time are not specified, many patients remain at the level of the soup or porridge they ate at the hospital even after discharge, or they are anxious and cannot increase their food intake any further.

Many patients have successfully followed the diet suggested by Severance Hospital during this period, so you too will be able to adapt well.
*STEP 1: The first 1-2 days after surgery when bowel movements begin
*STEP 2 Death Stage: 1 week after discharge
*STEP 3: The second week after discharge
*STEP 4: Food Stage: 3 weeks after discharge
*Nutritious Snacks: Increase nutrient density with nutritional supplements

Severance Hospital's Gastric Cancer Clinic, Nutrition Team, and CJ Freshway Jointly Developed a Gastric Cancer Diet
I have seen countless patients who underwent surgery and adapted well during their hospital stay, but then suffered greatly after discharge. Because I know their pain better than anyone else, the Severance Hospital Gastric Cancer Clinic, the Severance Hospital Nutrition Team, and the CJ Freshway Menu Team have decided to carry out a joint project.
Based on our experience and research, we developed the most suitable menus for post-surgery gastric cancer surgery, and completed them by supplementing various issues through medical verification through demonstrations for medical staff and patients.
And among them, 80 menus were carefully selected and included in the book, and for the convenience of patients and their families, the recommended diet at the Severance Hospital Gastric Cancer Clinic was presented in three forms for each stage.

Resolving questions after discharge through various patient cases and nutritional counseling
Among the various cases of numerous stomach cancer patients who have visited Severance Hospital, we have collected and introduced cases such as ‘My food intake does not increase quickly’, ‘I have no desire to eat even when I see food’, and ‘I feel like my intestines are blocked and I eat less’.
These cases were designed to help patients and their families address any questions they may have about symptoms or problems they may experience.
Additionally, we have introduced common questions that may arise in daily life, such as 'Can I eat noodles or bread?', 'Can I eat duck or pork belly?', and 'When can I start eating kimchi?' during the recovery period, so that you can refer to them for a proper diet.
