I am 1 week post op, on my TT and I want to make sure that I am eating all the right things can you, give me a list or suggestions of what the best things to eat are. The thought of eating things like Stake just have no appeal to me and all I seem to want is Crushed ice and fresh fruit. Should I add Ensure to make sure i am getting something I am missing? I am 42 and I take a from the Surgeon

Answer: Diet after Tummy Tuck?
Thank you for the question.
There is no specific “recommended diet” for the post-tummy tuck patient. A well-balanced diet with high fiber and a good protein source would obviously be helpful. Adding a protein shake ( to each meal) if necessary may also be helpful especially if your appetite is curtailed ( which often happens during this period). Frequent hydration is also important.
Best wishes.

Answer: Eat well to heal well Although you should always heed the guidance of your surgeon, generally a week after a tummy tuck you can eat mostly anything you want. But you may want to focus on eating a healthy, balanced diet in order to help your body heal optimally. Fiber, lean protein and nutrient-dense vegetables and fruit are all good ideas. Protein is an important tool your body uses in the healing process, as are minerals and vitamins like vitamin C. Processed sugar, salt and excessive carbs are generally less helpful to your body.
