? for nutritionist

What will the hospital ask me to eat while I am in the hospital

What should I focus on for the first five days at home
Water How much and when do I drink
Protein How much? what form? and When?

Can she provide a specific meal plan including timing for the first 10 days?

be very specific about you supplements brand, quantity how often. what can and cannot be taken together. when should I start taking them

Set up a phone call for a 7 to 10 days Post op just to touch base. and confirm how things are going.

Best of luck to you and stay Hydrated.......

Thanks Dave... they've set up a TWO HOUR appointment for the "NUT" and me... I'm guessing she'll have a folder full of info for me... just didn't want to go in empty handed and unprepared. Good questions... and thanks for taking the time and thought to answer!

Will your diet change much after your next surgery?

I do not think it will change much I am hoping that the reduction in blood loss and water loss will help reduce the amount of suppliments needed.
