The Surgery Prep Move Most People Get Wrong 🏥 If you’re prepping for cosmetic surgery, you’re probably doing the obvious stuff—getting labs done, following pre-op instructions, clearing your calendar. But here’s what actually separates a smooth recovery from a rough one: your nutrition and hydration protocol in the weeks leading up to surgery. Most people wait until 2 days before to “start being healthy.” That’s too late. What actually works: ✓ Protein intake — Bump it up NOW. Your body needs amino acids to heal. Aim for 0.8-1g per lb of body weight daily in the weeks before. ✓ Hydration consistency — Not just the night before. This is a daily practice for at least 2-3 weeks prior. It improves skin elasticity, circulation, and wound healing. ✓ Inflammatory foods — Start reducing these 2-3 weeks out. Sugar, processed foods, excess salt = more swelling post-op. You can indulge again after. ✓ Sleep prioritization — Not negotiable. This is when your body repairs at the cellular level. 7-9 hours minimum. The clients I work with who do this? They heal faster, have less bruising, and feel way more confident in their results. What’s one thing you’re already doing to prep? Drop it below—let’s build this out together. 👇
