Be sure to read your list of foods and drinks that you are allowed to have during the first week of post-op, for you probably won't feel like going to the store, etc. Be sure to be up to date on your meds and vitamins as well. Since you will be pretty much getting rest I would recommend obtaining intertainment materiels, being books, dvd's, games, etc. to keep you occupy while resting. I made the error and went shopping the day following surgery as I felt great and probably pushed myself too much. Also lifted firewood, etc. when I was told not to do so. So rest as much as possible, be comfortable and let you body heal.
