Let’s Talk About Eating After Surgery.
What you eat after surgery can play an important role in your recovery and at RASC, we’ll give you clear guidance tailored to your specific procedure and medications.
In general, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Skip the alcohol for at least 24 hours after your operation.
- Follow medication instructions closely—some prescriptions must be taken with food, while others (like certain antibiotics) don’t mix well with dairy products.
- Be aware of side effects—a few medications can even increase your sensitivity to sunlight.
Your care team will let you know exactly what to avoid and what’s safe, but it’s always a good idea to ask both your doctor and your pharmacist if you’re unsure.
The bottom line? A little attention to your diet after surgery can help you heal more comfortably and get you back on your feet faster.
