Post Surgery
The Most Necessary Fuel for a Steady and Quick Recovery
S
urgery of any kind is a traumatic event for the body. The stress and pain the body goes through needs to be
accounted for during the recovery period. Proper food and nutrition during this period is a must. The rate at
which the body recuperates depends on the amount of nutrients it receives.
1
Diet
The most important part to watch post your surgery. Strictly keep to the diet
the doctor has recommended. The functioning of the intestines becomes a
bit weak during this period. To keep a good and healthy bowel following a
physician approved diet is a must.
2
Fluid Intake
Make sure you keep yourself hydrated. Water, fruit juice, and coconut water
should be an integral part of your daily diet. Keeping yourself hydrated will
help with constipation.
