    After the operation, more nutrition should be added, so that the body can recover faster. The protein intake must be sufficient, because the protein that accounts for 16% of the body weight does not constitute the main material basis of our body, or it is the nutrients necessary to maintain a healthy state of the body. If protein intake is poor during surgery recovery, not only will the wound heal slowly, but it will also increase the chance of infection.
