Thanks for the advice & a few ?'s

[Guest guest]

I appreciate all of the information passed along to me, when I

inquired about what to expect from the post-op period. I over ate

during the holidays with the fact that I was going to have this

surgery in mind.

My surgeon advised me to cook and plan ahead, so this week I'm making

my soups and freezing them in one cup containers. I'll leave

Southern CA early, so I can also cook pre-op in Texas to prepare for

the post-op eating. Will the hospital send home a syringe or

something to eat with?

I have been advised not to eat or drink any dairy products for one

month prior to surgery. Did any of you have the same pre-op

requirements? Is this to reduce swelling?

I understand about drinking plenty of water prior to the surgery. Do

you have any further suggestions.

I promise to pay back with my own saga of the post op experience.

I joined Site2 to have access to photos. However, I haven't received

authorization to access the files as a member. Is this a long

process?

Wishing all a safe and healthy healing and recovery period,
