Foods to Eat After a Tummy Tuck Surgery

Eating the right foods is one of the fastest ways to heal after a tummy tuck surgery. That’s why it’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions on what foods to avoid. Foods to keep in your kitchen for after your tummy tuck include

• Fresh fruits and vegetables high in vitamins A and C
• High protein foods include lean meats like fish and poultry, beans, eggs, and cheese
• Omega-3-rich foods such as mackerel, salmon, chia seeds, and walnuts
• Dairy products such as milk and yogurt
• Vitamins such as arnica and bromelain found in bananas and avocado reduce bruising
• Grains and nuts
• Stay Hydrated- be sure that you are taking in at least 64 ounces of water throughout the day

• Fried foods
• Baked goods
• Sodas
