This is an important question for you to ask your referring doctor, nurses or surgeon. They will want to provide you with the best nutritional and diet recommendations, based on your specific condition, recovery and current healing process.
When you do you return to the doctor for a post-surgical exam?
How are you feeling?
If you are not experiencing any complications (including pain), but would like to know in more general terms how to promote healing, here are some helpful tips. Please know that you will need the approval of your doctor(s) before adding any herbs or supplements to your diet, as well as before adding any movement exercises:
- Eat nutrient-rich, high-antioxidant, anti-inflammatory foods, including fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds to help your body deal with the stresses of surgery
- Practice relaxation techniques: guided imagery, deep breathing, meditation
- When feeling better, add some movement techniques that promote relaxation: gentle yoga, tai chi
- With the approval of your doctors, some people find acupressure, acupuncture or massage beneficial to the healing process
