I had a BBL and they told me I can’t eat any sugar. Why?

Question

Or salt, dairy, carbs, bananas, grapes or corn. I understand the salt because of the bloating but why can’t I have a little cream and sugar with my coffee? I’m miserable

Every PS has his/her post-operative guidelines; I suggest that you follow those of your PS as he/she performed your BBL and knows your how you are healing.  I recommend that my patients take 100 grams of protein each day during the healing phase for the first six weeks following surgery. This protein can be in the form of manufactured premier protein shakes or optimum whey protein added to milk or water.  The objective is not weight gain but promotion of healing.  Other sources of protein include poultry, fish, soy, quinoa, nuts, eggs, whole grains, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, lentils, and beans.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Hello, thank you for your question. Different surgeons have different pre-op protocol, with some requiring patients to go full vegan. I can only guess that your surgeon is trying to keep your BMI as low as possible before surgery, or wants you to lose weight. Regardless of the reason, please adhere to your instructions and contact your coordinators with any questions. Best of luck to you!
