Is there anyone out there who started hiking and backpacking post-op?

I have recently become interested in hiking and backpacking (2 months post-op). When I get closer to goal, I would like to begin doing these things on a regular basis, but I am not sure of how to begin or what I will be able to eat while out on the trail. Any suggestions? I am already a fan of camping, so that won't be a problem. Are there special requirements (protein, carbs, sodium, etc..) that I need to be aware of? My main area of interest is the Smoky Mts if there is anyone who would like to talk or possible join me on some future outings!
