2. High Protein Food Sources - PROTEIN will be an essential part of your diet after surgery. - Protein helps with wound healing, muscle and skin re-growth, and repair, as well as preventing hair loss. - We recommend a daily protein goal of 60 grams for females and 70 grams for males each day. Every meal and snack should have a good source of protein in it. See the list below. - Sometimes for the first 1-2 weeks after surgery it is helpful to consume a protein supplement (as long as it is low in added fats and sugars). See the list below.
