I have my tummy tuck and breast lift with augmentation on August 10.  For those that have had these surgeries, what are some tips I should know about?  Any advice?  Anything you didn't know that you wish you had known??

Put everything you need within easy reach - check your kitchen and bathroom.  You may not like having stuff out, but you dont' want to overextend your reach from up high or down low.

Keep a note book with you to keep track of when you take your meds; convesrations; and tasks you need to do, etc.

Make sure your home is set up before you leave for your surgery so when you come home, you can get into your recovery position. 

If you can, cook some meals ahead of time and freeze them.  The day before my first surgery, I roasted a whole turkey.  I had an overnight stay in the hospital so when DH got home, he had something he didn't have to think about; as for subsequent days, it was quick to reheat the turkey and add a veggie to it.  I did pork loin the day before the second surgery.  

If you can get your scripts ahead of time to get them filled and have at home before the surgery - do that.

Good luck!
