What foods are recommended before and after surgery for a comfortable and speedy recovery?

Hi Eski, Thank you for your question.  In my practice, I have found using a progression tension suture technique for tummy tuck greatly speeds the recovery process.  This procedure is performed without surgical drains and most of my patients recover from this surgery much more quickly than with other techniques.  Please consult your own plastic surgeon as to whether they have any specific diet recommendations prior to surgery. A healthy diet is always recommended.  Best of luck to you. 

Any specific dietary instructions should come only from your surgeon. If you are healthy a well-balanced diet is all that can be expected. Postoperatively smaller meals will probably be more comfortable in the short term. In my own practice I use a mechanical bowel prep to diminish the possibility of gas pains postoperatively.
