Postoperative management.
The patient is allowed to leave the hospital as soon as liquids can be tolerated. This is usually on the third post operative day. The drain can be removed then. The patient is restricted to a semi-liquid diet for 1 week, followed by a pureed diet for another 4 weeks. An office visit is scheduled for around that time. If there are no problems, the patient is advanced to a regular diet. Sweets, alcohol and carbonated drinks should be banned. Exercising is encouraged from the second post operative week on.
