Mommy Makeover Aftercare Diet Tips for a Vegan.

Hi there-

While your healthy lifestyle certainly lowers your risks of heart disease and stroke, during times of increased protein demand (like healing after surgery), the relatively low amounts of protein you ingest may significantly increase your risks of healing complications after your Mommy Makeover.

I recommend you supplement your regular diet with protein shakes (GNC sells lots of varieties- make sure it contains all essential amino acids) and multi-vitamins (again, any comprehensive multi-vitamin will do). 

This should keep your risks nice and low.

Thank you for your question.  

Yes, we would want you to increase your protein intake prior to and after surgery to help with the recovery process.  There are many options to choose from.

Talk to your surgeon to see if he/she has any specific recommendations.

Best Wishes!
