Nutrition for Women after a Hysterectomy?

Any Ideas on what to cook for a woman after hysterectomy operation?
Answers:

I am bleeding everyday but not having my extent?


It depends how soon after the hysterectomy. If its just a few days after she might want soft food, approaching apple puree, puddings, soups, anything she feels she can digest in need too much bother. I would avoid giving her any food that causes gas because the growth of gas in the stomach hurts the inner scar. If the woman is already 2-3 weeks past the operation and feel well, I come up with its up to her to decide what she feel like ingestion. One thing is for sure, she should avoid as much as possible sugars, starches and other fattening foods, no use in achievement weight and as we exercise smaller amount after convalescing, we tend to gain weight.

First time this have ever happened?

Pain medication slow down digestion and bowel movements and may make her constipated. So, be sure to include foods containing fiber - such as raisins, prunes, leafy greens, and bran. Metamucil powder can even be used in her favorite drinks. Constipation can be set by avoiding dairy foods.

Eating healthy foods such as fish, turkey, chicken, natural bread, soups, broths, and salads may help her restore your health faster. She may also drink tea, water, and crushed rime.
