In general, you should have established a healthy and stable lifestyle prior to body-contouring procedures like tummy tucks. Having the surgery and then trying to figure out how to maintain it is prone to disappointment. The surgery should be the reward for having achieved a fit and stable body. Of course it is not too late to do so but it will require your commitment to find a program of healthy diet and regular exercise and physical activities. You might have to assess your habits as well such as drinking or smoking or snacking. The formula is easy: diet and exercise. But the right combination might be more challenging. Also, remember that weight is not the goal, it is lifestyle and fitness. DIfferent people with different genetics will have different weights with the same level of fitness. Don't go overboard trying to achieve a certain weight with a program that is unsustainable or unhealthy.
