Day 11 of pre-op diet and my surgery date is approaching fast. I must admit I am nervous! Is there anything special that should be doing to make things a bit easier for the day of surgery? Also I was going to continue purchasing Protein shakes from my surgeon's office but purchasing both the Protein Shakes and Vitamins are very expensive at $73 per month. Any suggestions on a less expensive Protein shake? TIA

@@DivaSoBlessed yay you are so close to surgery! Re: Protein shake, I use Premier Protein from costco and I spend about $30 a month.

As far as your day of surgery, I found that taking care of all my chores (house was clean), having my support network rallied (errands etc) having my fluids ready (not too much, tastes change after surgery) and also gathered my comfort stuff (movies ready, soft comfy clothes ready etc) made my transition home easy and allowed me to focusing on healing and sipping. There are some good threads on here about what to take to the hospital, too.

Best of luck to you, will send you positive energy on Tuesday!

@@Butterfly123 Thank you so much! This is good information. I've already started on my household chores. I'll have have my movies ready to go as well. I am also going to look for the Premier Protein shakes this weekend. I need to pack a bag for the hospital so I will check the forums on what all I should bring. I appreciate your help. This is exciting!!!! ????????????
