Many people expect recovery to be linear once surgery is over. In reality, healing can feel slow, unpredictable, and exhausting. Pain, fatigue, muscle loss, poor appetite, and delayed wound healing are common—even when the procedure itself was successful.
This is where clinical nutrition becomes a critical, yet often overlooked, part of recovery.
At CureOnCall, our Post-Surgery Recovery Nutrition programme is designed for individuals in Pakistan, as well as international clients in the USA, UK, and Europe, who want structured, evidence-based nutritional support to aid healing, preserve strength, and support a safer return to daily life.
All plans are personally designed by DT Nimra Naqvi (MPhil in Human Nutrition & Dietetics) and delivered through secure online Zoom consultations.
Surgery places the body under significant physiological stress. Clinical evidence shows that recovery is influenced not only by the procedure, but also by nutritional status before and after surgery.
Research published in journals such as Clinical Nutrition and The British Journal of Surgery highlights that:
Inadequate protein intake can slow wound healing and muscle recovery
Poor energy intake may increase fatigue and delay rehabilitation
Micronutrient deficiencies can impair immune function and tissue repair
Unintentional weight loss after surgery is associated with poorer outcomes
Post‑operative nutrition does not replace medical care—but it can support healing and reduce complications when applied appropriately.
This programme is suitable if you:
Are recovering from orthopaedic surgery (knee, hip, spine, shoulder)
Have undergone abdominal or general surgery
Are preparing for surgery and want to optimise recovery
Experience prolonged fatigue or weakness after surgery
Are undergoing rehabilitation or physiotherapy
Are based in Pakistan or are an international client (USA, UK, or Europe) seeking professional remote recovery nutrition support
This service does not replace post‑operative medical follow‑up.
Your programme begins with a detailed Zoom consultation covering:
Type of surgery and recovery stage
Current symptoms and limitations
Appetite, digestion, and weight changes
Medications and supplements
Rehabilitation or physiotherapy plans
This allows nutrition to be aligned with your recovery timeline.
Your nutrition plan may focus on:
Adequate protein for muscle and tissue repair
Energy intake to prevent unwanted weight loss
Micronutrients involved in wound healing and immunity
Digestive tolerance during reduced activity
Hydration and meal timing to support recovery
Plans are adapted to dietary preferences, tolerance, and cultural needs.
Recovery periods are challenging. Nutrition plans are designed to be:
Easy to follow during limited mobility
Flexible for reduced appetite
Supportive rather than overwhelming
The goal is nourishment, not perfection.
As your mobility, activity level, and rehabilitation progress change, nutrition guidance is refined accordingly to support each recovery phase.
Our post‑surgery nutrition programmes commonly support recovery after:
Knee or hip replacement
Spinal procedures
Shoulder or joint surgery
Hernia and abdominal surgery
Injury‑related surgical procedures
Where appropriate, we encourage coordination with your surgeon, GP, or physiotherapist.
All nutrition plans are personally designed and supervised by DT Nimra Naqvi, an MPhil‑qualified clinical nutritionist (Human Nutrition & Dietetics) with experience in therapeutic and recovery‑focused nutrition.
Nutrition guidance is designed to complement medical and rehabilitation care, not replace it.
All consultations are delivered online via Zoom, allowing clients in the USA, UK, and Europe to access professional recovery nutrition support without travel.
Follow‑ups and plan updates are provided digitally to ensure continuity throughout recovery.
If you are preparing for surgery or navigating recovery, the next step is to book an appointment.
