Would it be wise to embark on a green juice fast pre/post tummy tuck surgery? (Photo)

Any way of additional weight loss, the green juice diet, is great!!! But ALWAYS check with your chosen PS first!!!! 

Preoperative is very important to avoid heavy meals, because one if the most common issues after Tumny Tuck is constipation which adds a lot of discomfort and sometimes associated to clots. So couple of days of soft nutritious food prior surgery is perfect. The juice will bea good idea, but just have in mind non of the ingredients have protein, so, not a good idea as postop meal. Be encouraged dr.  Cardenas

With all due respect, a "fast" does not provide nutrients necessary for proper and safe healing, even green juice! I advise all my patients that they should be at a stable healthy weight prior to tummy tuck surgery, even if that weight is somewhat over "ideal" weight. AT least they will heal properly with the lowest risk of complications. You should be able to eat just fine after tummy tuck, but not in the (too much) quantities that made your BMI 27. I think you will be a fabulous tummy tuck candidate (plus likely liposuction of the hip roll areas--cannot see your legs/thighs), but only once you diet first, lose whatever weight you can safely lose and KEEP off, and then eat a healthy metabolic diet after surgery to facilitate normal healing.Eat less; Burn more; Do both. That's the whole entire Dr. Tholen diet book. Not a best seller, but the absolute truth about dieting--NOT green tea or other fad diets that don't realize you will eventually return to real food and real habits, good or bad.You didn't say when you are planning surgery, but it should be AFTER you lose weight the proper way in slow and safe fashion so you will heal properly with the least risks and the best results. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen
