Abstract
This prospective descriptive study was conducted to evaluate the changing nutritional habits of the patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The study was carried out on 76 patients between December 2019 and May 2021. The data were collected using Nutritional Habit Diagnosis Form by inter viewing the patients three months after surgery by telephone. While age and gender factors were found to affect nutritional habits after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the rate of development of symptoms related to nutrition was statistically significant in female patients and active workers. At the first nutrition, patients with diarrhea had significantly more symptoms, while patients who lived regularly had significantly fewer symptoms. It was found that the symptoms increased with the consumption of processed meat products, full-fatcheese, vegetables such as onions, corn-peas, fruits such as oranges, snack foods, sauces such as mayonnaise-cream, and fried fatty foods. The study has demon strated that it is important to question patients’ preoperative nutritional habits and to provide training by nurses on their postoperative diet and risky foods that increase symptom development.
