Thigh Lift, Arm Lift, Abdominoplasty Done Together Concerns and Recovery?

cole71
I am having a thigh and arm lift, & abdominoplasty (including hernia repair) done together in 3 weeks, some lipo'ing will be done in all 3 areas. I have lost 150 lbs through diet & exercise over 4 yrs. I am pretty fit, a tri-athlete and just finished my first half. What should I do to pre & post op, including diet, exercise, supplements? I have big races this summer, will I be able to train after 5-6 weeks? Be honest, my biggest races are 3 months post op, I need realistic expectations. Stressed
