Postoperative Recovery is the care you receive after a surgical procedure. The type of postoperative care you need depends on the type of surgery you have, as well as your health history. It often includes pain management and wound care.


Post-operative dietary principles are based on foods that promote wound healing and are well digested, including:

        1. Protein: Provides the materials needed for wound healing, such as lotus seeds, tofu, eggs, fish, and beef.


        2. Fat: adequate amount of fat is good for wound healing. Good oil is rich in fatty acids and has anti-inflammatory effects. You can choose fish oil and vegetable oil.

     

        3. Vitamin A: accelerates wound healing such as eggs, carrots, tomatoes, and milk.


        4. Vitamin C: it can reduces melanin production in wounds such as spinach, diced, and strawberries.

       

        5. Zinc and potassium: Zinc can accelerate the growth of new granulation tissue. Potassium can maintain normal muscle function and avoid weakness. Walnut, banana and glutinous rice can be supplemented


From Traditional Chinese Medicine opinion,the patient need more nutrition foods after the surgery. but first of all, we should guarantee that the patient's digestive system can work efficiently,at least at a normal level. so we will usually use natural herb to adjust patient's spleen and stomach's function. and also use herb to strong the Qi and blood, to let the patient recovery more fast.
