Water
Our final entry is something that you should be doing regardless of coming out of surgery. You have to remember that our bodies are made up of 55-65 percent water, so hydration is a must. Depending on the type of surgery you’ve just had and the medications you’ve been prescribed, your need for fluid may be higher than usual.
And it doesn’t have to be just a glass of plain old H2O, there are many excellent sources of hydration out there, such as –
Flavoring your water with lime or lemon
Drinking coconut water
Eating high water content foods like soup
Preparing a smoothie with extra fluid
Drinking herbal teas (either hot or cold)
