one week to go! Yipes!

I've got one more week to go before my surgery. Does anyone have any tips for me for before and right after surgery? Any advice would help. Thanks in advance.  Muffy

I'm 5 days post op and I was so excited when I was down to my last week.  The thing to remember is to keep working your diet, don't go have a big meal because you don't want to weigh in heavy or cause to much gas.  The worst pain after surgery is the gas, at least for me, and I was really careful to eat a diet low in gassy foods the week before surgery, so I am assuming it could have been much worse.  Get all of your supplies ready and make sure your care team know where to find them.  Make sure you have a strainer for your cream soup.  Stay on the boards for the support and extra encouragement and just work it.  You'll do great!!!

thanks so much for the support and good advice. I've heard about the gas problem, but didn't really think it was from food, but from the air they pump into you. I wasn't planning on eating a huge dinner the night before, though!
I'm looking forward to two weeks from now, for sure!
How are you feeling now that you're almost a week past surgery?  Muffy
