After the operation it is normal to have nausea and vomiting, especially if you have undergone chemotherapy or radiation. It can lead to loss of appetite, feeling of general weakness and sudden weight loss.
After treatment, it is best to eat several small meals spread throughout the day instead of three large meals. Try with protein shakes and yogurt instead of solid food, but if you can not eat; force yourselfe to eat a light soup - chicken or vegetables.
You can try with protein powder, of course, in consultation with the doctor. Enrich your meals with home and organic products. Fresh homemade milk, cheese mixed with vegetables in salads, potatoes, rice, ... For snacks eat almonds, peanuts and quality cheeses.
The bottom line is that your body needs more protein than usual, it is necessary for cells to recover and to cope with infections, to speed up healing of wound and recovery.
Immediately after surgery you have to think about protein intake. If your doctor has suggested you to lose weight, focus on that after the initial recovery period.
It is desirable to consume organic foods and to avoid industrially processed meat products, fast food, carbonated drinks, sweetened juices. Get back to nature. Try with as many raw foods as you can. Make a spring salad with Ramsons, include ginseng, Rose hip (obligatory) and Common Nettle in your diet. It is important to increase the intake of vitamin C, to drink lots of healthy shakes and smoothies. In consultation with your doctor and nutritionist talk about possible cleaning therapy, detoxification - what shakes can you take, what teas to drink. Use honey and bee products more often instead of sugar.
