🌱 The Little Wins That Add Up This Week

If you're in your first few weeks post-op, you might be focused on the big milestones—hitting your protein goals, getting cleared for soft foods, or seeing that first number drop on the scale.

💉 Small Portions, Big Protein: Easy Meal Ideas for Smaller Appetites

But here's the thing: muscle is metabolically active tissue. The more you have, the more calories your body burns just existing. After surgery, our bodies naturally want to shed both fat and muscle.
