                                While the soft texture might seem ideal for a post-op diet, a single packet of instant ramen can contain over 1,300 milligrams of sodium, far exceeding the daily allowance for many. So, **is ramen okay to eat after surgery**? The answer is nuanced, depending heavily on the type of surgery, stage of recovery, and how the ramen is prepared.
