What to eat immediately after Liposuction surgery? I am in Post-op day 1

I'd recommend you discuss this with your surgeon as he would be best suited to give you advise as to what is recommended, what is safe, and what will boost the outcome of your surgery. 

I appreciate your question.



I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time.



The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.



Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.



Best of luck!

Start with liquids and if you do well then advance your diet to regular food. There can be a little nausea when you first eat or drink so go slowly. Reach out to your surgeon about what you need to do about exercise. Congratulations on what sounds like a successful liposuction procedure.

I would ask your surgeon as we all have our preferences. In our office a balanced diet that is not overly fatty is what we recommend for the first couple of weeks. Best wishes.
