Asked By:gypsyheartsoul in Toronto, KS

Hello, I had a tummy tuck 11 days ago after losing 100 lbs. I am super motivated to lose another 30 lbs to achieve my goal now that I have had my skin "fixed". I realize my skin may be affected by further weight loss, but I'm ok with that. However, I realize that my body needs nutrients and calories right now to heal. When can I safely begin to restrict calories (1200-1400 per day) and continue on my weight loss journey?
