Hi Robyn,

The worst for me was the gas and the runs. The best thing to do for that is walk. The first night out of surgery they had me up and walking and sitting in a chair. Since I came home I take a five min walk going and five min coming back and I do that three times a day. It really does help.

Drinking water.  I was used to chugging it.  I had to start using a sports bottle to limit the amount of fluid I could take in.

Find a good protein before going into the surgery.  I suggest trying samples from vitalady.com. Although not free, it's better than committing to a 5 # jug of something that you hate.
