What should I be doing now...PS in a month.

Hi Guys,

Thanks.

Hey Norma,

Get extra protein in, it helps you heal. I also got a fell set of blood work done so I was aware of anything deficiencies so I could be extra vigilant on supplements. All the best with your surgery.

yes,  I have become extra vigilant about the supplements,  especially my iron..thanks for the advice on the bloodwork.

Protein, protein, protein. This is essential to the DSer...not only for daily life but ESPECIALLY before surgery! I would suggest protein shakes and my personal fave, beef jerky. I can not stress enough the importance of protein for us. Please pump it up as a PS preop!

Thanks...Good Tip about Beef Jerky..I love it.

I'll second the extra protein.  Also, start taking 1000 mg of Vitamin C and drop any Vitamin E supplements (blood thinner).  A week before your surgery start taking a stool softener.  The pain meds + sedation will bind you up.
