Diet & Nutrition

Why Nutrition for Surgery

  • Undergoing surgery is a huge mental decision that a patient & his family takes.
  • Well, it's not just mental, it involves enormous physiological (physical) implications as well. One is not aware until you go much deeper.
  • One should be aware of their nutritional status before deciding the date of surgery.
  • The post-surgery outcome/recovery depends largely on your nutritional status pre-surgery.
  • Nutritional status categorizes you into 2 board spectrums: Obese/Overweight or Underweight. Both the spectrums are extreme and needs to be worked on before undergoing any surgery.
  • Being obese/overweight or underweight does not rely on your appearance & weight. Its beyond weight. Its about what your body is composed of.
  • Our bodies are made of 4 parts: Muscles, Minerals, Water & Fat.
  • The proposition of these 4 parts in our body determines our nutritional status.
  • Find out your status at our centre, as we believe success of surgery lies within you.
  • 7 to 14 days vigorous counselling of nutrition before surgery will pay you benefits in many ways, by reducing your complications, reducing hospital stay and many more.

Myths About Diet Post-Surgery

  • Many myths like, avoiding rice, potato, fish, eggs etc, doesn't allow to heal the stitches is extremely untrue.
  • There are no foods that hinder the healing process. Healing depends largely on your condition before surgery, your food intake post-surgery.
  • Proteins and various other nutrients are crux of faster recovery.
  • Different surgeries have different nutritional requirement. Similarly different individuals have individualized nutritional requirement. One diet chart doesn't fit all.
