Hi Samantha........welcome to the board. Congrats on your upcoming surgery. There is so much to learn here....here is my advice

~Click around the board and read up on old posts, there are so many topics covered extensively on here.

~Avoid the temptation to buy too many supplements......you don't know til after surgery which ones you'll drink. Buy a few, then go for more of what you like.

~Stock up on beverages, they are most important post-op for hydration (almost everyone loves the sugar free popsicles right after surgery).

~Remember no matter how badly you feel when you wake up, that you will feel better amazingly quick as each day goes.

~Walk, sip, rest, REPEAT after surgery.

~Keep posting!!
