terrydumont46 1,954 Posted September 1, 2014 as for before surgery make sure you have the liquids you are going to be using. Protein Powder, crystal lite, Water etc. also have ready sugar free Jello and popsicles. have a heating pad, ice packs, if your doctor will do it have your pain medication filled and ready for you. at the hospital just wear a sundress and sandels. move as much as you can. take walks down the hallway. drink and keep hydrated. when you are home heating pad to any areas of gas pains, ice packs to incisional pain. drink, walk and rest. give yourself ample time recover from surgery. be sure you have your doctors tele # close at hand. good luck and wishing you well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
