Hysterectomy and Diet

[irondawg725]

My wife is scheduled to have a hysterectomy in a couple of weeks. She is worried that she will gain a bunch of weight while she is out. She will be out of work for 6 weeks and was told she couldn't do much during this time.

What suggestions would anyone recommend as far as diet goes for her during this time? Thanks for any help you can provide.

How about a healthy diet at maintenance calorie intake?

I would say keep it around what she is at, her body will need the nutrients to help with the rebuilding/ healing of tissues. If she starts to gain a lil weight then cut calories some...
