I had a cat that used to be an obsessive licker. It started out because she was stessed by changes in the household. She too licked the inside of her front legs and belly. Then it developed into an addiction like OCD. To keep her from licking her tummy, a stretchy tube top (perhaps a child's size) or top part of panty hose should do the trick. Snug enough that she isn't going to get it off her belly area, but not so tight it will inhibit her breathing or eating. She may not like it very much at first, but it would keep her from irritating her incision, and maybe giving it a chance to grow back her fur there.

As far as her food is concerned, a good quality canned food, such as the Wellness you're already feeding, is preferable to any dry kibble. If you're feeding a little dry, make sure it is high in protein and has "no grains" (no corn, soy, rice, wheat).

Hope this helps. It's always nice to hear updates.
