After a major cosmetic surgery, many patients want to know what they should eat, (and what to avoid) so they can heal quickly and feel as healthy as possible. A tummy tuck in Toronto will allow a plastic surgeon to slim your waistline, trim away excess skin and fat, repair abdominal muscles, and reconstruct your navel. Known medically as abdominoplasty, this procedure is elective, but it’s not minor.
A smooth recovery that’s as quick and easy as possible requires you to be in good shape and your diet replete with protein and other vital nutrients. Even when it’s something we’ve wanted for a long time; surgical recovery can be stressful, and that takes a toll on your energy. It’s vital to keep your strength up with good food. Here are a few tips to keep your diet on point and your recovery in check.
An Ideal Diet After Tummy Tuck in Toronto
You’ll need to keep up your strength and feed your healing tissues with high quality nutrients. Let’s start with a few things your body can do without.
Try These Instead
Whole grains and complex carbohydrates, plenty of lean protein including chicken, wild caught fish, legumes and beans. Fresh fruit, vegetables and lots of water. Keep the sweet treats and snacks in moderation.
How Can You Maintain A Healthy Weight In The Long Run?
Some patients say that it’s surprisingly easy to avoid overeating at first because the tight, constrictive compression garment squishes the abdomen tightly. After the first 4-6 weeks, your swelling will have gone down significantly, tissues will be more relaxed, and you’ll discontinue the binder. Don’t let the new-found freedom lead you to over eat!
Most patients are eager to keep in shape once their new tummy is revealed. Contact Edelstein Cosmetic if you’d like to schedule your own consultation.
