Tummy tuck drains have stopped after one day

My Tummy tuck drains seemed to have stopped after only a day. Is this normal? I thought I was supposed to drain for longer.

    If that’s the case, consider yourself lucky. Everyone is different.

    I’m worried about it. Should I not be?

    No my Dr told me I was fine. You might might have a little more drainage once you get up and moving around more

    Yup walk plenty, it does look like apple juice. I would see bits of fat in there and spots of oil (also fat) pretty neat LOL
