Hello Bonnie, I just wanted to let you know that your being thought of at this time. I pray that you have a speedy recovery....and remember to drink that water, get in some protein and exercise. (well in a few weeks) Your body needs protein to heal. Water to prevent dehydration and any movement to help prevent pneumonia and keep those muscles moving!! If you need any help with post op diet or nutritional needs, you just let me know....I am here for you!! Dr. Ledgerwood is a great surgeon, but her aftercare is not the greatest....so lean on your friends for knowledge and support! Hugs and God Bless~
