Topic: RE: May 4 2010!! WooHOO
Having my surgery on the 4th of May with Dr. Schumacher here in Miamisburg, Ohio.  We are all looking forward to starting a new life in May.  I have found a great deal of help on the Main board as far as pre and post-operative suggestions.  I just keep lurking around and eventually someone asks what I want to know. 
I have purchased all my vitamins and have them ready.  I have also tried a number of different protein drinks so that I will know what I will drink  (Chike, Super Star Muscle) and what I won't (IsoPure).   I am going to sample some UnJury Chicken Soup and also come stuff called Nectar.  Everyone is different.  The advice that I hear over and over for after surgery is.
SIP, SIP , SIP, WALK, WALK, WALK AND CHEW , CHEW , CHEW.
Make sure to have some Gas-X strips with you at the hospital for gas.  I have tried them at home and they are great.  Everyone also advices taking a pillow .  I am assuming a smaller, firmer pillow to hold against your stomach when you cough.  Good Luck and keep posting.
We must let go of what was if we are going to embrace what is !

Yes, I am really excited, but the waiting if fraying everyone of my nerves.  I am just very impatient.
But I know that time really does go fast.  Mugsy, my best friend and next door neigbor whose name is Margaret aka Maggie and aka Mugsy (husband's pet name for her).
