I'm going to have surgery in September and my surgeon recommended that I drink something she calls lemon tea for the weeks afterward to help with any postoperative swelling. The "tea" is just squeezing the juice from half a lemon into a cup of hot water. She said I could sweeten it if desired with a little honey, sugar or Splenda (guess which sweetener I will choose!)
She also gave me a diet plan for a "healing diet", which is basically Atkins premaintenance -- low carb, high protein, lots of veggies, some fruits and some whole grains but almost no refined carbs.
