Brief Answer: Welcome Detailed Answer: Hello and welcome, I am happy that you had an uneventful surgery. The bleeding will remain for a few days and must go away by day 7 post surgery. So if it persists beyond that then see your doctor to check. You can follow your regular diet. Just add some good quality protein like egg white or fish [ if you eat non vegetarian diet] and bean sprouts if you are vegetarian. A cup or glass full of milk whichever you can take is also good protein. Also add beetroot and carrots with any green veges at least once a day. This helps in faster recovery. Add any one fruit a day and that is enough at present. Eat what you like in moderation and just limit fried food for a few more days as you are on medicines. You can ride a two wheeler after 7-10 days post surgery or when you feel fine and strong enough. Just let me know if there are any other issues. Take care and rest. Regards, Dr Madhuri
