Clinically, postoperative patients can eat shrimp. Patients' immunity will be low after operation, so protein should be supplemented to improve immunity. Shrimp is rich in protein, which can promote the recovery of patients. However, it should be noted that eating shrimp should be based on the premise that the patient has no allergic reaction. If the patient is allergic to prawns, it is best not to eat prawns. If patients are not allergic to prawns, they can eat a small amount of prawns in more meals, which is beneficial to the recovery of patients' physical functions.

Whether the patient can eat shrimp after the operation depends on whether the gastrointestinal function of the patient is completely restored and the nature of the primary disease is different. First, if the patient underwent surgery for popliteal cyst, the local incision healed well after surgery, and the operation did not cause serious damage to gastrointestinal function. They can eat shrimp after operation, and protein in shrimp meat is beneficial to supplement the nutrition of patients, promote wound healing faster, and play a great role in the recovery of patients' condition. Second, if patients undergo radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer, there will still be more hematocele and effusion in the abdominal cavity after operation, and the gastrointestinal function will not be fully recovered. If the patient eats shrimp, it may increase the burden of gastrointestinal function and cause abdominal pain and bloating, which is not conducive to the early recovery of the disease. Therefore, patients are not advised to eat shrimp.
