I'm 65 and scheduled for 10/5. I'm doing two week pre op, and hanging in. I'm excited about surgery, nervous about recovery & nausea. All tips appreciated. i

Hang in there and gradually change your bad habits. Example: I no longer eat while watching tv anymore. I notice that I over eat when I do that. Also, I've been working on chewing my food thoroughly before swallowing it. I hope that helps.

Hi, How are you doing now? It is a part of the process and you will go through different feelings in post op. Get a notebook to write down any questions you think of for the docs nurses and nutritionist/dietician. Be as patient as possible with all that you will go through. I also agree that when you get to the semi solid as well as solid food stage chewing so the food is very fine and eating proteins first is very important. I hope I was helpful. Also researching healthy alternative foods to replace somethings you mightve eaten before is helpful for when your diet is advanced.
