SURGERY PROTOCOL

When you are having a planned surgery or even emergency surgery, we need to increase the rate of healing following surgery and to minimize the formation of scars and adhesions. Our goal is to provide the body with nutrients that promote healing.

People who follow the recommendations below before and after surgery generally heal faster than normal, have less swelling and pain, and have fewer post-surgical complications.

Dietary Recommendations:
Start diet recommendations 2 weeks prior to surgery and continue for at least 1 month after surgery. (Actually, you should always eat like this!)
Increase protein intake from cold-water fish and low fat meats such as chicken and pork. Protein is the building blocks for the building and repair or tissues.
Assortment of green, yellow, orange vegetables (your plate should look like and artists palate). Provides the vitamins and minerals needed for tissue repair.
Keep yourself well hydrated with pure water, about 8-10 glasses per day.
