What did you learn post op that would be beneficial to soon to be post ops?

I am interested in knowing what everyone has learned since they have had their surgery that would help others post op. Did you use a special cream to help scars heal or to firm up your skin? What one food or drink was your favorite through the first few weeks? Was there a book that helped you deal with all of these changes? Did you find out anything NOT to do? How closely did you stick to your Drs prescribed diet? Those are just some of the things I could think of. If you know of anything else that would help others, Please post it here!!! Thanks!! :o)
