10 day until my husband's surgery

My husband will be having the by-pass surgery on July 27th. Any words of help or wisdom would be greatly appreciated. My husband's name is René Peña Sandra Peña

Hi Sandra, first off, good luck to your hubby for the operation. One thing that really helped me is getting prepared for my " after-life" ahead of time. I cut out all the sweets, the sodas, the stuff that I wouldn't have later on any more, and it really helped not having that many cravings later. The caffeine was the hardest, I think. Took me about three days to get rid of the withdrawal headache, but better now than having to deal with it post-op. Last but not least, get him to eat lots of protein beforehand, it will help him heal faster and easier, and get him walking as soon as he can, walk walk walk walk walk, it's the key to feeling better quickly! Keep us up to date, take care and good luck! Andrea
