I don't have to do a liquid diet or even a bowel prep at all. Just eat/take more protein and vitamin C leading up to surgery. What is all that for?

The seven day protein liquid diet helps any undigested food to evacuate your stomach,therefore the doctor can be able to make your stomach is as flat as possible. This diet also helps with constipation after the surgery. The protein during the diet helps your muscles heal faster and strengthen your muscles. Also,the protein liquid diet is only a hundred calories a scoop in which i put two scoops and drink 4 beverages a day, a light meal which consist of fish and spinach. So that the stomach can be nice and loose for the sugery. xoxo

Also, I would like to add that the medications that were prescribed are a antibiotics, stool softener,nausea medication,pain medicine, Inflammatory medicine,enoxaparin (this medication is used to prevent blood clots in the legs.) My doctor is very particular in healthy recovery which these are very commons meds with patients who are getting a tummy tuck ...xoxo

Interesting! Where can I find info on the diet, or what brand protein shake are you using? Good luck! You will have a really cute shape afterwards.
