My Pre-Op Workshop
posted on 5/23/12 6:27 am
Well I had my workshop on yesterday. It was pretty cool.

I was told I need to start my pro-op diet today.
Talk about timing.

I am to drink all day everyday 2-4 protein shakes and one lean meal.
or 4-6 protein drinks per day and no meal.

I dont know which one i will choose. The fact that it is a holiday weekend I may opt for the one meal. She said we can mix it up if we wanted to.

We went over the vitamins and protein drinks we can and cannot have for after surgery.

My doctor only requires you to say in the Hosp for one extra day, being released the day after surgery if you meet the requirements.
1. Be able to walk 10 minutes per hour
2.Drink 1 liter of liquids in 2-4 hours no more and no less.
3.Be able to be on minimal pain meds (i think)
4.Be able to use the Breathing Machine. (if you cough ur doing it right)

It was really cool and I enjoyed myself.
