13 days & counting & getting nervous

Hi, I ended up having to quit my job to have my surgery. My last day is next Tues. & my surgery is the following Monday. Oh the pressure of it all . Does anyone have any good tips or recommendations for pre-surgery preparation & post surgery preparation ? Thanks, Candi

Candi, I would just take it one day at a time. You will be fine. I am 8 days post op and I am getting around like I have not had surgery at all even my doctor told me in the hospital I did not look like I had surgery. As far pre surgery preparation, I would go out and get all the things that you will need for your liquid diet and your hospital stay. Please do not forget chapstick you will need it badly!!!!! Post surgery I think is different for everyone so all I can say is if it gets rough, know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I have had no problems what so ever!!!! I tolerate all my liquids even the nasty protein, it sucks!!!!! But on the 22nd I find out if I can eat the next stage of food, pureed!!! Good luck sweetie! Love, Kennie

Hi Candi, We share the same surgery date. I am anxious and excited at the same time. I wish you the best in the next 12 days! Jenni
