Post tummy tuck nutrition. Can I drink green juices/veggie juice post TT surgery?

Can I drink green juices/veggie juice post TT surgery? Will this help with speeding up recovery? What about protein shakes and strictly eating chicken & veggies? In my mind eating clean right after would help the process? Thanks!
