"Foot" Notes - Day 4 - Surgery on Hallux Limitus


I slept good last night. The need for Percocet is way down. My last dose was 18 hours ago. I think my post surgery supplements are really helping tremendously.









For post-operative nutrition, I'm taking Paleomeal protein powder, Hydrolyzed Whey protein powder, a super strong probiotic called VSL #3, Ultranutrients multivitamin, Ultra Pure Fish oil, Vitamin E, Bromelain and Curcumin.

The pre-operative nutrition is also important and I also recommend the following supplements taken 10 days before a scheduled surgery:  Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Green Tea Extract, Hawthorne, Herbulk fiber, Milk Thistle, a multi-vitamin-mineral, maitake d fraction for immune support and sometime more depending on the surgery.  At the office, I have a great handout for the "pre"-"post"-operative nutrition or add it to another post.

I really think I will be walking, even running in 6-8 weeks. :)
