Thank you. I would add- avoid sodium rich foods if you're recently post op because high sodium will make it harder for swelling to heal. Also I like prunes and prune juice for fiber and nutrition, and to counteract the side effects of the opiod prescriptions.
I'm 3 months after knee replacement. I've gone back to work and now sitting at a desk most of the day-- which I' learning if I don't get up every 30 minutes or so my knees get stiff. Would love to hear some tips on exercising while at my desk or tips on ways to incorporate exercise into my work day.
I looked at Garlique, and it appears there can be an interaction issues with NSAIDs and can cause constipation, which is an issue with some pain medicine. Thoughts?
I agree these are potential issues with garlic supplementation. If you are taking NSAIDs or prescription pain meds after surgery I strongly recommend asking your doctor about Garlique (or any other supplements) as they can best advise you based on your specific situation and weighing the risks and potential benefits.
Why don't our medical care teams really address nutrition post surgery? This is priceless info, and should be included in every joint replacement package.
Good question. Often, they just don’t have the time to include this with all the other information they need to provide. Glad you found the info helpful!
Avocados have a lot of health nutrients and health fats. whole grain bread is a good source of fiber, pineapples also have a lot of nutrients and anti-inflammatory properties. Crackers tend to be high in simple sugars and salt so out of all the foods you wrote, I would moderate how much of these you eat. Thanks!
... good catch. It's probably more complicated than the video suggests. There are some benefits of dairy including good sources of calcium, vit D, and protein, but there are some pro-inflammation components and individuals response to dairy certainly will vary.

Yes, I agree all good advice.. Too much sodium can exacerbate swelling which is already something being managed after surgery.

Hi Cheryl. I think you may find this video helpful:th-cam.com/video/AidvsqDSQ1g/w-d-xo.html ...Thanks for watching!
...Also try some simple exercises as you sit.. heel slides back and forth, knee extensions up and down, ankle pumps

How about avocado, whole grain breads, Triscuit crackers, canned pineapple?
