Tips About Recovering From Surgery

By Stephanie Riggle


It is difficult for active people to stay put in one place and rest all day for weeks but this is a necessary part of recovering from surgery. Resting for a few days is easy for most people but doing nothing for over 2 weeks can be quite unsettling. To speed up your recovery time, take these tips into account.

To hasten your recuperation, you should keep your affected body part still. This allows quicker healing. If your doctor told you to stay off your feet, then you should lay in bed more often. If you need to wear an arm sling, keep it there till you are allowed to remove it. The more immobile you keep the affected area, the faster you can heal.

Rest is also very important after an operation. During your recovery period, it will do you good to sleep a lot or for at least 10 hours a day. This speeds up the healing process and prevents you from moving too much. It is the best way to pass time after a surgical procedure so that you can stay immobile longer. It is harder to stay still when you are wide awake.

Taking a lot of fluids is also good. When sick or recuperating from an operation, your doctor will advise you to drink lots of water. This keeps your body hydrated and provides healthy nutrients to your cells and tissues that need to recover. Avoid ingesting coffee which makes you more dehydrated.

Before going in for surgery, make sure that you have enough food in your cupboards. A healthy diet with lots of amino acids and protein will promote faster recuperation. Do not stock on junk food, cakes and chocolates. These will just add more sugar and toxins to your body which is not beneficial to your healing process.

Recovering from surgery can be made more pleasurable by making preparations beforehand. Buy some of your favorite magazines and novels before you go under the knife. Set up your television near your bed and stock up on healthy food before you become immobile.
