What should I expect after surgery?
After surgery, you will need to rest and recover. Although the type of follow-up varies by type of surgery, you will need to take supplements that your doctor prescribes to make sure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals.
Walking and moving around the house may help you recover more quickly. Start slowly and follow your doctor’s advice about the type of physical activity you can do safely. As you feel more comfortable, add more physical activity.
After surgery, most people move from a liquid diet to a soft diet such as cottage cheese, yogurt, or soup, and then to solid foods over several weeks. Your doctor, nurse, or dietitian will tell you which foods and beverages you may have and which ones you should avoid. You will need to eat small meals and chew your food well.
