Be as calm as you can about the surgery itself. After the surgery, focus on walking as much as you can; on controlling your pain with the meds given but not using them if you don't need them; on drinking Water. Be aware that you'll need to focus on Protein, but not right away--and with both the water and the protein, you'll most likely need to ramp up to meeting the goals--it won't happen immediately. Don't beat yourself up about these things--just keep trying, as it will get easier as time goes by.

Sip (ten little sips per ounce of fluid...get a medicine cup out and practice...they are TINY sips), suck (on the breathing thingy they give you to help clear your lungs and prevent pneumonia), stroll (walk as soon as you can and as often as you can).

Sip. Suck. Stroll.

Best wishes for a safe and effective procedure:)
