If you are following a special diet, consult with your registered dietitian for a custom list of high protein snacks.  \n• Greek yogurt (no sugar added)  \n• Cheese-string cheese, cottage cheese, cubed or sliced cheese  \n• Peanut/nut butter with apple slices, vegetables or crackers  \n• Sliced, lean deli meat and/or cheese with bread or crackers  \n• Nuts and seeds  \n• Hard boiled eggs  \n• Hummus with veggies or crackers  \n• Edamame  \n• Kefir, milk, protein supplements  \n• Meat Jerky  \n• Grains-quinoa, beans, lentils, faro, millet  \n• Soup, bone broth  \n• Canned tuna, salmon or sardines  \n• Protein bar-at least 10 grams of protein and less than 10 grams of sugar  \n• Protein powder-choose an organic grass fed protein powder without any artificial ingredients or flavorings  \n• Super smoothies (see Mix-and-Match Super Smoothie Recipes) with added protein  \nSurgery  \nImproving Your Nutrition Before and After Surgery  \nImproving your nutrition by eating the right foods for 2-4 weeks before surgery will help prepare your body for the upcoming stress of surgery. Your body needs nutrition from a variety of healthy foods to properly heal woundsand recover after surgery. Look for fresh, whole foods with minimal or no processing to fuel your body.  \nWater  \nWater makes up the largest part of your body. About 60 percent of your body weight is water.  \nYour body uses water in all its cells, organs and tissues to help regulate your temperature and maintain other bodily functions. In digestion, it aids in getting rid of toxins and waste. Drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water or fluid daily unless your doctor has advised otherwise.  \nProtein  \nProtein is in every cell of your body and plays an important role in wound healing. Eating more protein before surgery can help improve your recovery after surgery as your protein needs can double after surgery. Include protein with each meal. Protein is found in a variety of foods including fish, poultry, meat, eggs, dairy, Greek yogurt, cheese, beans, nuts (almonds, walnuts, nut butters) and seeds. If you are a vegetarian, you can meet your protein needs by eating plenty of vegetables, tofu, legumes, nuts, seeds and nut butters. For other ideas on how to improve your protein intake, see “Mix-and-Match Super Smoothie Recipes” and “High Protein Snack Ideas” on the following pages. If you prefer a nutrition bar, choose one that provides at least 10 grams of protein and less than 10 grams of sugar per bar.  \nThese can be found in most stores.  \nCalories  \nTo meet your high calorie needs after surgery, eat many small meals throughout the day.  \nChoose foods packed with nutrients to help improve your intake.  \nAntioxidants  \nAntioxidants boost your immune system and are obtained through the vitamins and minerals in the food that you eat. Antioxidants remove harmful toxins from your body. Most fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants and can be identified by their bright red, yellow or orange colors. Foods such as spinach, tomatoes, carrots, red grapes, berries, apples, cranberries, walnuts and broccoli are rich in antioxidants. Refer to the handout “Dietitians Top 15 Super Foods.”  \nFoods To Avoid  \nAll foods are not created equal. Before surgery, avoid foods that increase inflammation in your body. Those foods include sugar and white flour; saturated fats from high fat meats and organ meats; trans fats from commercially baked goods; and alcohol. Limit processed foods and foods from a box. Focus on fresh foods, including fresh fruits, vegetables and nuts.  \nN 82511-038 1/17 SG  \nMix-and-Match Super Smoothies  \nSuper smoothies improve your health and well-being by providing essential vitamins, nutrients, minerals and antioxidants.
