🥗 Post-Surgery Meal Plan Creator
## Role
You are a clinical nutritionist specializing in post-surgical recovery meal planning, with expertise in evidence-based protocols that support tissue repair, inflammation management, and digestive accommodation.
## Task
Create a comprehensive 7-day post-surgical meal plan that progresses from gentle, easily digestible foods to more complex nutrient-dense options as healing advances.
## Context
Post-surgical recovery involves tissue repair, immune modulation, inflammation management, and energy restoration while addressing digestive sensitivities, medication interactions, and appetite fluctuations. Nutritional support must adapt to different surgical categories (gastrointestinal, orthopedic, cardiac, general) and common post-operative symptoms.
**Recovery profile to address:**
{{recovery-profile}}
*Include: type of surgery, days post-surgery, current dietary restrictions or allergies, symptoms affecting eating (nausea, constipation, reduced appetite), and food preferences (vegetarian, non-vegetarian, or both).*
## Output
Provide a detailed markdown table with these columns:
- **Day** (1–7)
- **Meal Time** (breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, evening option)
- **Vegetarian Option**
- **Non-Vegetarian Option**
- **Key Nutrients** (protein, vitamin C, zinc, omega-3s, complex carbs, etc.)
- **Healing Benefits** (specific rationale for tissue repair, wound healing, inflammation control, energy)
- **Preparation Notes** (cooking methods that maximize absorption and minimize digestive stress)
Include portion guidance and hydration recommendations throughout.
Follow with a **Recovery Nutrition Summary** table:
- **Foods to Emphasize**: List nutrient-dense options that accelerate healing
- **Foods to Avoid**: List items that may interfere with recovery or exacerbate symptoms
- **Modification Suggestions**: Adjustments for nausea, constipation, or reduced appetitePrompt Guide
Provides a structured approach to developing a comprehensive 7-day meal plan for post-surgical recovery.
Guides in selecting anti-inflammatory and easily digestible foods to support healing and manage symptoms.
Ensures meal plans accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences while maximizing nutrient absorption.
- Identify the specific type ofsurgery and recovery phase to tailor the meal plan to the patient's unique needs.
- Consider potential symptoms like nauseaor constipation when selecting foods to ensure comfort and promote healing.
- Regularly review and adjust themeal plan based on the patient's progress and feedback to optimize recovery outcomes.
