My surgery date is August 25TH!!! Yay

[Joanne P. 0]

After months of tests and doctor visits, I finally got my date! Started my one week pre-op diet today! Soooo excited... any advice on how to survive the first week post op?

Sip fluids, move/walk as much as you can (sometimes I'd simply pace after eating/drinking to get a few extra steps in), and focus on Protein. I found that taking a small bit every fifteen minutes made it easier to keep track of. I set a timer, and it made it so much easier to not "think" about it, but just react when the timer went off.

Best of luck on your journey!
