I was wondering how many people after surgery have physically demanding jobs? If so, how do you cope with it?

Do any of you continue to smoke after surgery?

not sure, I don't judge people.

so they knew you were smoking but said nothing about it?

I'm really looking for some advise with the pre and post vitamins I'm suppose to be taking. I'm not sure which brand of vitamins I should be looking at. The brand I was recommended is a little to expensive but I'm not sure if the Equate brand has enough of what I need. How do I know which is the right choice?

Thanks so much for all the help! For pre-op and post-op vitamins be chewable, gummies or swallow?

Thanks so much for your replies!

So I am coming up to the when I start my 2 week pre-op diet and I have some questions. When it comes to the Vitamins, does it have to be a certain brand(the surgeons office recommended Building Blocks) or can I go with something not so costly?

Are there specific ones to go for? Which brands? Sipping...I understand the idea of sipping my fluids but, is there a wait time between sips I should be following? And post surgery do I sip until I feel a certain way? When I start the diet I would like to have a step-by-step breakdown of the entire day. At what time and for how long I do such and such. If anyone could set me up with one or give me a link I would appreciate it. Also, i was told I need to take in 80 to 100 ounces of water a day. Is that accurate? Reason I ask is when I was looking at diet plans for pre-op the water ounces didnt add up to what i was told. Thanks for any help :)

Hey everyone! I am new to the community but not to the struggles. I know it looks dumb being a new member posting this but I am not sure what else there is for me to do. I would appreciate it if anyone would just visit my Gofundme page and ponder the idea of helping me out. https://www.gofundme.com/wuhj24-i-don039t-want-to-die&rcid=r01-153792442287-b17f1644fe4e4cbc&pc=ot_co_campmgmt_w Thank you all!

Thank you! I don't want to be any trouble but I don't know where else to look for help other that forums. I'm kind of ashamed to post on facebook.
