Keto diet and healing process for tummy tuck? I keep hearing that adequate amounts of protein are necessary for healing?

Asked By:sq.lv in Las Vegas, NV

I have gone on the keto diet before with good results and felt amazing amounts of energy after getting through the first couple days of transitioning my eating. I am not trying to lose more weight since I know it's better to be at a stable weight before surgery but could this diet/way of eating contribute positively to the healing process?
