The Candidate 3,215 Posted September 28, 2015 Congrats! Research your little heart out, to the point where you could do the surgery on yourself in a pinch. ???? The more you learn and begin to change your lifestyle now to accommodate all the changes to come the better. Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Marusek 5,244 Posted September 28, 2015 Walk, walk, walk - about 30 minutes per day. It will make the recovery go smoothly. Cut out caffeine now. I experienced around a week of withdrawal syndrome (severe headaches/body aches) when I went cold turkey. You do not want to compound this with the effects of surgery.
