Cannot eat after tummy tuck surgery?

It is important to follow the post-operative instructions given by your surgeon after tummy tuck surgery, including dietary restrictions. In the initial stage of healing, eating large or heavy meals can put a strain on your digestive system and potentially impede the healing process. Your surgeon may recommend a clear liquid diet for the first few days after surgery to allow time for your digestive system to recover. After that, you will gradually transition to a soft diet or a low-residue diet, incorporating easy-to-digest foods that put minimal stress on your digestive tract. As you recover, your surgeon will provide guidance on when you can resume your regular diet. Remember to consult with your surgeon before making any significant changes to your diet after surgery.
