Diet plays an important role in alleviating the symptoms of thyroid problems. On some occasions, hyperthyroidism situations are correctable through pharmacology and diet.
However, there may be circumstances that require removal of the gland. Either due to hyperthyroidism that does not respond optimally to drugs, or due to the presence of a tumor mass linked to hormonal overproduction.
In either of these two situations it is necessary to be clear that diet will be a determining component when it comes to recovering the functionality of the individual. Because of this, below we will discuss in detail what to eat after thyroid surgery.
Soft diet at first
One of the first dietary goals is that the act of eating does not involve discomfort. Since the area can be sensitive after the operation, which causes certain difficulties in swallowing, it is essential to choose foods with soft textures that facilitate the digestive process.
Thus, you can choose creams (made from vegetables and even meat or fish), yogurts, well-cooked vegetables, omelettes or ripe fruit. Any cooking method that produces a hardening of the food or the formation of a crust is not recommended in this type of situation, for example grilling or fried foods.
