Pre- and post-surgery diet for faster healing

[Plarkin]

I'm reading here that the doctor says lots of protein to help healing. I guess lots of chicken and sashimi qualify. This really help? I'm mostly vegetarian (runner, cyclist, love the carbs). Should I tweak my diet and load up at the sushi bar before and after? Didn't know protein helped healing tissue.

Definitely dude ... Your vegetarian you say? Switch to having Rice & Lentils ... Lentils have a lot of good protein.
