Balanced: I generally recommend a well-balanced, high-protein, high fiber diet along with careful attention to hydration after surgical procedures. Often, medications used postoperatively can be nauseating and/or constipating; is important to focus on good nutrition and high fiber foods. Sometimes, i recommended a protein shake to be taken with each meal. I hope this helps.

balanced diet: It is important to consume a balanced diet following any surgery. Smoking should be avoided at all costs. Diabetes should be closely controlled if present. Patients should rest. And if there is any significant swelling and bruising, i generally recommend patients take an oral supplement called arnica. This supplement is a natural remedy which rapidly improves bruising and swelling.
