Answer: Preparing for your Tummy Tuck Surgery
Two weeks prior to surgery, the following should be stopped/avoided:
Aspirin, NSAIDS (like Ibuprofen, Aleve, Advil, etc....Tylenol is ok)
Vitamin E Capsules
Omega/Fish Oil Capsules
Alcohol
Many women today take phentermine to suppress their appetite, but that medication is best avoided for 4-6 weeks prior to any surgery. As for supplements to take, a general multivitamin is a good idea, but don't start using new herbs or supplements before a big procedure. Several days before surgery, go with lighter foods (soups, smoothies, salads, etc) and avoid the big heavy meat and potatoes fare....it will help you better avoid constipation post op!
