What did you guys eat after PS??
Just wondering what I should buy, I have the band, and I know I will be very tight, but want to stay away from salty stuff, so that leaves out soups. Any suggestions. I have having a full tt and lipo. Dr says to stick to clear liquids until I have a BM. Protein shakes aren't clear??? I hate the after taste of Isopure. And my DH will have to make the meals for a couple of days. What did you guys eat???

I didn't have much appetite for the first few days.
I had crystal light the first day after my tummy tuck and that was about it.
After that, I had Greek yogurt, applesauce, pudding.
I had made some corn and potato chowder prior to surgery and ate it for lunch and dinner for several days.
I didn't have any fluid removed from my band before surgery, so I was especially careful to start with liquids and progress to mushies and then full foods over the first 2 weeks or so.

My port was slightly repositioned. It was already center, about 2 inches above my belly button.
Now it is just left and stil about 2 inches above my new belly button.
I have a Realize band with a low profile port ... I can feel it but it can't be seen.
My surgeon did 2 lines of vertical sutures about 2 inches either side of the midline, so I look like I have a 6 pack...he calls it his own version of
Victorias Secret suturing.
I love looking down at a flat belly ......you are going to be thrilled, Mari!! I can't wait to hear all about your surgery.

Hi. not sure what your band situation is but I was required to remove my saline. My surgeon did not want to chance me not being able to get proper nutrition in and/or be nausous. I did not have any eating restrictions given to me by my plastic surgeon other than to eat lots of protein because protein promotes healthy healing.
