Accessibility impacts outcomes and experience. We offer multiple points of access towards your recovery.

After surgery or recovering from a fracture injury, your diet can impact your recovery and improve your outcome. Eating a healthy diet is essential during surgery recovery. Depending on the type of surgery you have had, your doctor will advise you to follow specific dietary guidelines.
Some tips for a healthy surgery recovery diet include:
  • - Eating small, frequent meals throughout the day rather than three large meals. This can help regulate blood sugar levels and provide enough energy to heal.
  • - Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, which provide essential vitamins and minerals that support healing.
  • - Limiting refined sugars and processed foods, as they can create an imbalance in blood sugar levels and impede the healing process.
  • - Drinking plenty of fluids to stay hydrated, especially water or broth-based soups.
  • - Avoiding high-fat, fried and spicy foods, as these can be difficult to digest and cause nausea or discomfort.
Some tips for a healthy recovery from fractures include:
  • - Eating foods that contain calcium and Vitamin D, such as dairy products or fortified soy milk.
  • - Consuming lean proteins to help repair cells and muscles.
  • - Including omega-3 fatty acids in your diet, found in fish, nuts, seeds and olive oil. This helps reduce inflammation and promote healing.
  • - Avoiding foods with added sugar or too much sodium, as these can increase inflammation and delay healing.

By following a healthy diet during surgery recovery, you can help speed up the healing process and maximize your outcome. Your doctor may also recommend specific dietary changes for your individual situation, so be sure to follow their guidance. Eating a nutritious and balanced diet is the best way to support surgery recovery.
