My dr instructed me to be on clear liquid diet for 48hrs before augmentation+tummy tuck. Does that make sense?? I am on hour 19 and honestly i feel kinda sick already

Answer: Liquid diet before the surgery Dear asianmom88,I don't recommend my patients clear liquid diet before the surgery.

Answer: Clear Liquid Diet prior to surgery While I don't know what's involved in your surgical plan, I personally don't ever ask a patient to do this. I would call your surgeon's office and inquire if this is truly necessary. I am assuming your surgery is with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best of Luck.
