What can I eat after tummy tuck? My throat is sore; can I drink coffee? I'm 2 days post-op.

Thank you for the question. If you are not nauseous or vomiting, you can advance to a solid diet. It is best to discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

If you are not having problems with nausea, you can likely resume eating and drinking. It is always best to ask these questions of your chosen surgeon as recommendations may be different.
