I will be done doing this after healing. I’m having a hysterectomy on n the 11th and have 3 orange size clementines… with that said I’m dieting as I heal and then working into light workouts?

It's important to listen to your body and follow your doctor's recommendations for recovery after a hysterectomy. Eating a healthy diet and gradually incorporating light workouts as you heal can help support your recovery process. Make sure to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and consult with your healthcare provider about any specific dietary or exercise recommendations for your individual situation. Good luck with your surgery and recovery!

Post-Hysterectomy Diet

- First 24 hours: Clear liquids only (e.g., water, broth, tea)
- Days 2-4: Bland, easily digestible foods (e.g., oatmeal, applesauce, yogurt)
- Days 5+: Gradually introduce solid foods, avoiding gas-producing and spicy foods.
- High-fiber foods: Fruits and vegetables are important for digestion and bowel movements.
- Protein: Lean protein sources (e.g., fish, chicken, tofu) are essential for healing and recovery.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of fluids, especially water, to stay hydrated.

Exercise

- First 2 weeks: No strenuous activity. Rest and elevate your legs.
- Weeks 3-4: Light walking or gentle stretching as tolerated.
- Weeks 5-6: Gradually increase activity and exercise intensity as per doctor's instructions.
- Important: Listen to your body and rest when needed.

Clementines

- Clementines are a good source of vitamin C, which is important for immune function and tissue repair.
- However, it's important to note that certain fruits and vegetables can produce gas after a hysterectomy.
- If you experience any discomfort after eating clementines, it's best to avoid them until your digestive system has fully recovered.
