SN Instructed patient on Lobectomy Care. You will be able to drink liquids and eat certain foods once your stomach function returns after surgery. 
You may be given ice chips at first. Then you will get liquids such as water, broth, juice and clear soft drinks. If your stomach
 does not become upset, you may then be given soft foods, such as ice cream and applesauce. Once you can eat soft foods easily, you may slowly begin to eat solid foods.
