Tummy Tuck Recovery

Heather Arranie June 15, 2022 3 min read

When you get what’s been called a “tummy tuck,” the last thing on your mind should be what to eat. There are many myths about what you should and what you shouldn’t eat, but there is no exact answer for what your gut wants to consume. Instead, focus on eating what your body needs rather than what it wants. Your stomach will tell you what it wants by producing digestive juices that will help break down what you’re consuming. Ultimately, the best way to determine what your gut thrives off of is by experimenting with different types of food that could be helpful for healing. Get all the information you need to know about Private Gastric Balloon Surgery and tummy tuck recovery, and find out what to expect and how to prepare.

What to expect after surgery

After surgery, you will likely experience some pain and swelling. This is normal and to be expected. You will also likely have some bruising, which will fade over time. It is important to keep the surgical area clean and dry. You may be prescribed medication to help with the pain and swelling. Be sure to follow the instructions of your doctor carefully.

Recovery time

It is important to give your body the time it needs to heal properly. Most people require at least two weeks of recovery time. However, depending on the extent of the surgery, you may need more or less time. Be sure to follow the instructions of your doctor carefully, and don’t push yourself too hard. Listen to your body and give it what it needs.

Tips for healing at home

There are some general tips that can help you heal at home following surgery.

– Keeping the surgical area clean and dry

– Taking any prescribed medication as directed

– Resting as much as possible

– Eating what your body tells you to eat

– Exercising gently as your doctor directs

– Returning for follow-up appointments as scheduled

Eating and drinking after surgery

It is important to give your body what it needs following a surgery. The last thing on your mind should be what to eat after surgery, but you can help your recovery by eating what your body tells you to consume rather than what it wants. Listen to what your stomach is telling you by monitoring what kind of food and drink your stomach is breaking down because what it thrives off of will depend on what kind of appetite that you have. You may need more water for hydration or more fiber from vegetables in order to boost the digestion process.

What to eat after tummy tuck

After a tummy tuck, you will need to eat foods that are high in protein and low in fat. You should avoid eating foods that are high in sugar, as they can cause you to gain weight. It is important to drink plenty of water after a tummy tuck, as it will help flush out the toxins from your surgery. You should also avoid drinking alcohol, as it can slow down your healing process.

Conclusion

After a tummy tuck, what you eat doesn’t matter as much as what your stomach thrives off of. Your body will tell you what it wants by breaking down what you’re eating and producing digestive juices that help break food down into nutrients for healing. Listen to what your stomach is telling you after surgery rather than trying to guess what kind of diet may work best for the post-op body because there are no “right” answers when it comes to this question; only what works best with your individual system. It’s important not to push yourself too hard or make any major dietary changes following surgery like cutting out gluten or sugar, but instead focus on listening carefully to what your gut tells you about how it processes specific foods so that you can continue healing in a way that is comfortable and manageable for you.
