The Cuban Yaneisy Chacón revealed on TikTok what her daily breakfast has been since she underwent cosmetic surgery three months ago: two stalks of celery, and nothing else.
In a video published on Thursday, Chacón shared her morning routine with a direct message to her followers: the sacrifice that comes with a surgery should not be wasted by eating recklessly.
"Good morning over here, girls, look at my breakfast every day, two sizes of celeri," she says at the beginning of the clip, using the popular Cuban term to refer to celery.
Chacón underwent surgery on April 17 of this year, and since then, he has radically transformed his diet.
"The beer is gone, we have no beer left, the sweets are gone, everything is gone, ma'am," he asserts in the video with a tone that is both serious and humorous.
What stands out to him the most is that there are people capable of returning to their old habits after undergoing surgery.
"I don’t understand, with the suffering and pain I’ve been through, my God, that I still can’t even sleep, how people can eat and eat and eat and eat just to go back to the living room," she points out.
Celery is a food with anti-inflammatory properties, low calorie content, and a water content of approximately 95%, characteristics that make it particularly advisable in post-surgical recovery diets.
Experts indicate that after cosmetic surgery, the diet should be light and anti-inflammatory, avoiding alcohol, sugars, and processed foods—exactly what Chacón describes having eliminated.
Chacón's video joins a very active trend among Cuban women who document their experiences with cosmetic surgeries on social media, from the decision-making process to recovery.
The Cuban tiktoker Adry Havana was at the center of one of those cases when she took a 25-hour trip just seven days after a Lipo 360 with BBL surgery in Miami.
Another case that attracted significant attention was that of Cynthia Broche, who described from her hospital bed how an aesthetic surgery in Florida led to four emergency procedures due to a severe infection.
The TikToker Dunia Díaz, with over half a million followers, documented her recovery after a breast lift with implants and liposuction in Miami earlier this year.
Chacón's determination encapsulates the sentiment of this digital community well: the physical and economic cost of cosmetic surgery is too high to not take care of the results.
“Listen to me, I’m tough and I tell them,” she concludes in the video, which garnered over 20,400 views and 93 comments in less than 24 hours.
