Eating Again After Ovarian Cancer Surgery — Meals Until the Gut Wakes Up
After ovarian cancer surgery, meals are less about nutrition and more about gently waking a sleeping gut. You move up step by step from water to thin gruel to porridge, eating small amounts often. Stick to soft foods like plain rice porridge, tofu, and white fish, and take a break from rough vegetables, beans, fried food, and spicy seasonings for now. For constipation, frequent sips of water and light walking come before any laxative; if your belly keeps swelling or you have vomiting or fever, tell your care team right away.
