Good nutrition after knee replacement starts with real food. This presentation shows a simple recovery plate built around four groups: protein at every meal, vitamin C foods such as oranges, kiwi and peppers, vitamin D and calcium sources such as oily fish and fortified milk, and fiber and fluids to keep things moving while you take pain medicine. It also explains what to limit, including alcohol, skipped meals and cutting calories while your body is still repairing tissue. Supplements can fill gaps, but they don't replace meals.
