Post tummy tuck nutrition. Can I drink green juices/veggie juice post TT surgery?

Question

Can I drink green juices/veggie juice post TT surgery? Will this help with speeding up recovery? What about protein shakes and strictly eating chicken & veggies? In my mind eating clean right after would help the process? Thanks!

Thank you for your question. It is best to eat a healthy high protein, low fat diet with lots of green vegetables. This will promote healing which leads to a faster recovery. Hope this helps and good luck with your surgery.
