Focus on lean proteins like skinless chicken and soluble fiber such as oatmeal to prevent gas, bloating, and diarrhea.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Initial recovery:</strong> Stick to clear liquids and broth for the first 48 hours post-operation.</li> <li><strong>Transition phase:</strong> Follow the BRAT diet containing bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast during days 3–7.</li> <li><strong>Fat restriction:</strong> Avoid fried foods, butter, and fatty meats for at least 4 to 6 weeks.</li> <li><strong>Meal frequency:</strong> Consume 4 to 6 small meals daily instead of 3 large sittings.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Bookimed Expert Insight:</strong> While global guidelines suggest a standard low-fat diet, Turkish clinics often include specialized recovery menus in their all-inclusive packages. Patients at centers like Lokman Hekim Akay Hospital receive full-board catering designed to boost metabolism and well-being. This professional dietary oversight during the mandatory 1–2 day hospital stay helps prevent common post-op digestion issues before you even return home.</p> <p><strong>Patient Consensus:</strong> Many patients find success starting with local staples like ayran and mercimek çorbası.
