How do muscles recover after surgery?

This is a general physiology question for some course work, not about specific surgery.

You should eat a lot of protien. It build muscle which will help them heal faster.

Other Answers:
I had major surgery 30 months ago where my stomach was cut very deeply and into the muscles, I should not lift heavy objects and if I do, I suffer afterwards. I dont know when it will be back to normal.
The muscle is often shortened by surgery - the muscle on the opposite side of the leg or arm is effected by this also. As one muscle expands the muscle on the opposite side contracts. I found this a big problem after surgery. The muscle the surgeon cut through was fine, but the opposite muscle on the other side of the leg; tended to be weak and let me down. The answer was weight bearing exercise. I can now walk fairly normally, but still have to exercise it frequently. Other muscles, are effected by scarring and lose elasticity. This can be a problem with any muscles and it's not so efficient then.
