Care tips after a masectomy or breast cancer surgery

After breast cancer surgery, your body needs more than its usual supply of protein. It needs it to repair cells, fight infection, and heal incisions. Right after surgery, boost your protein intake without worrying about calories. It will aid your healing and help you regain your strength. If you need to lose weight, you can focus on that after your post-op recovery.

Here are some ways to increase your protein intake:

• Add protein powder or dry milk to meals.
• Add grated cheese to vegetables, potatoes, rice, and salads.
• Add high-protein snacks such as almonds, peanuts, and cheese
