I Just Had Got a Tummy Tuck Yesterday, I'm Very Sore but Today I'm Starving. What Can I Eat?

Eating to get your energy up is good. However, i would start out light and build up to normal.  Food is good with most medication to avoid nausea.   Plenty of water is good to flush your system.  You are off to a great recovery.

Eat and drink conservatively to avoid nausea from the anesthesia. Start with clear liquids, such as soup, or bread. Stay away from dairy products, greasy or fried foods, etc. for a few days. Just basic common sense. Also, eat moderately before taking the pain medication so it won't nauseate you.

Congratulations on having undergone the tummy tuck surgery.

It's great that you have a good appetite today. I would suggest that you  “start slow” with foods that are not likely to be nauseating and/or cause an upset stomach/reflux. You may want to start with soups and crackers and gradually advance your way to a solid diet as tolerated.  Generally, it is wise to have food on board prior to taking pain medication.

Generally speaking, 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.

I hope this helps.
