After four in the afternoon, Nie Shun'e had her tube removed, but since her intestines had been sutured, she couldn't eat normally yet and would need 7-10 days before she could resume a normal diet.
She was required to fast for the first three days after surgery, sustaining herself on parenteral nutrition, then on the fourth day she would start on a liquid diet with things like milk rice soup, gradually transitioning to semi-liquids like thin porridge, and wouldn't be able to eat normally until the tenth day post-operation.
When Nie Shun'e woke up and heard that her surgery had been very successful, she was overjoyed. At this point, she wasn't demanding anything more than to live each additional day as it comes.
She requested to make a phone call to her husband, which the doctors and nurses allowed.
After getting through to her husband, Nie Shun'e said:
"Send a basket of fruit to the doctors, quick!"
