There is no "fastest" way to recover from surgery. Recovery from surgery can vary in meaning for different patients.

In terms of return to activity, sometimes less is more. What I mean by this is that if you return to too much activity too quickly, it may prolong your recovery time. If you give yourself 2-4 weeks to recover, you may be full speed at 4 weeks. If you only give yourself 5-10 days before trying to progress, it may take you 8-12 weeks to recover.

DASH diet if obese and exercise, run-walk-run. If not overweight or obese then the Mediterranean diet. Consult Functional Medicine to optimize innate wound healing/repair mechanisms.
