Vegetarian Advice: Vegetarian Nutrition, Hip SurgeryQuestion: Facing total hip surgery, vegetarian 1 1/2 years. Should I be concerned? How can I prepare nutritionally? Thanks, J.S.
Savvy Vegetarian AdviceDear J.S., Well, I'd be concerned, if I were facing major surgery! I assume there's no alternative? As to preparing nutritionally as a vegetarian, I'm not a nutritionist, so can't get too specific, but here are a few ideas. You'll want to focus on ways to detox, and build your immune system, so you can recover from surgery quickly, resist infection, etc. After surgery, you'll want to regenerate muscles and nerves, build strength to support rehab. I recommend a diet of high quality, fresh, preferably organic food, with plenty of veggies of all colors, fresh fruit, variety of whole grains and vegetarian protein sources - e.g. tofu, beans, nuts. There are some books listed in the women's health section of the SV site that will have a lot of good nutritional info for you. Especially take a look at 'Bone Density Diet' Whether or not you're past menopause, here's a wonderful book, one that every woman should own and use: 'Menopausal Years' by Susun Weed. Try amazon.com for a used copy, or Susun Weed's website Mineral rich teas, and herbal supplements should help too. I also recommend the Maharishi Ayurveda Products - or MAPI, for quality, effectiveness and purity. I've attached the SV Free Report on Vegetarian Nutrition, as well. Best wishes for maximum ease and a quick recovery from surgery.
