Full feeling after tummy tuck?

The tissues inside your abdomen can get pushed up against your diaphragm and stomach from the muscle tightening, giving a feeling like your pants are too tight and you just ate Thanksgiving dinner. Try small frequent meals but do not try to "over eat" to somehow compensate. (Over-eating will just make you miserable). Make sure you are not constipated.  If you have excessive fatty tissue inside the abdomen, now is a time for a clean eating diet to reduce that storage fat, which over time will make you more comfortable.Congrats on your decision for a sleeker body!

Your appetite will return to normal as you continue the healing process.  It is not uncommon however for women who have undergone a tummy tuck to be motivated to maintain the results of their surgery.  We often hear patients say that they improved their diet and exercise routines after the tummy tuck.
