\"Tummy<\/a>If you\u2019ve elected to have a tummy tuck, you\u2019re probably researching as much as you can about what to expect after the procedure. That\u2019s a smart move, since the recovery period is incredibly important. Be sure to follow these five tips and tricks for a smooth recovery:<\/p>\n

1) Take a short walk every day.<\/strong>
\nWalking will help deter the formation of blood clots and other health issues that occur from laying in the same position for too long. A walk may not be possible for the first couple of days. Once you are able to engage in activity perhaps start with just a short stroll down the driveway and back, expanding to a normal-paced cruise around the neighborhood within about a week.<\/p>\n

2) Don\u2019t look for immediate results.<\/strong>
\nIf you\u2019re feeling better within a few days you\u2019ll be tempted to step on the scale and see if you\u2019ve lost any weight. Instead, wait for a period of about two weeks so your body will have a chance to rid itself of excess liquids. Also, don\u2019t try on any tight clothing you\u2019re hoping to fit into until a few weeks after the tummy tuck either.<\/p>\n

3) Let others do housework.<\/strong>
\nLaundry, cleaning, and childcare should all be left to others in the early post-op period. Plan ahead and hire a household cleaning service, babysitter, dog walker, and other service providers to give you the peace of mind of knowing that everyone and everything is taken care of.<\/p>\n

4) Maintain a healthy diet.<\/strong>
\nAvoid processed foods. Instead, drink protein-rich smoothies made with whole fruits like strawberries, blueberries, and melon. Be sure to drink lots of water, which will help flush out your system.<\/p>\n

5) Stay positive.<\/strong>
\nDo everything you can to keep a positive attitude during your tummy tuck recovery. Get outside on a deck or patio for a bit of sunshine every day. Watch your favorite movies and TV shows, or read a book you\u2019ve been waiting to read. Take pain medications as directed so you won\u2019t be uncomfortable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
