Remember you are in charge – no one knowsexactly how you feel; it is your life and your body.When visiting the hospital take lots ofdrinks and snacks, and even stuff to pass the time – there is a lot of waitinginvolved.Get fit beforehand - every minute you spendin the gym or eating healthily before surgery will pay off.  Although it's depressing when you seethe difference between your level of fitness before and after, you will healfaster if you are healthy.  Try asfar as possible, without going over the BMI limit, to build as much muscle asyou can through exercise and eating protein.  My body just stripped down my muscles to rebuild itself andI lost a stone in those first few weeks. Also my local gym was very supportive – they gave me a holiday from feesfor as long as I needed it – about 8 weeks, and then it was great to be able togo in to work out at exactly the level I needed.Have a great party before the surgery andkeep the pictures close to hand, so that whenever you feel at your worst youcan look at them and remember that you do look good, you know how to have agood time and you'll be doing both very soon.Get a comfortable mattress.  And lots of pillows and cushions, soyou can actually get comfortable enough to sleep.Don't volunteer for anything else.Get lots of good videos and books in, aswell as all your favourite foods, there is no such thing as too muchpreparation.  Although other peoplemay say they will bring stuff for you, remember that they are often reallyfreaked out too, so may not be that reliable.  If there is food etc. that you really want – buy or order itwhen you are able to, before the surgery. Or you can also set up an internet shop with all your essentials so youcan just order at the press of a button! (Also remember that initially your mental capacity may be around the OK!magazine and Friends level, so don't think you'll be able to watch all of thoseart house films and get through Kafka at this time!  I couldn't even read my Harry Potters.)Buy lots of comfortable baggy trousers.  Jogging bottoms are a must!  You may live in these for 6-8 weeks, soget some nice ones!  And don't beafraid to go a size up – I definitely swelled up another dress size or two.Don't plan to do a lot of stuff when you'rerecuperating, remember there's a reason you're off work.You may not be able to eat very much afterthe surgery.  It is most importantthat you keep up your protein intake to help your body rebuild itself and yourfibre intake to prevent constipation. Surround yourself with high protein and fruit and vegetable snacks.  Get a supply of high protein, easy tomunch foods beforehand, such as Babybel cheeses and nuts, also trekking barsare great – I highly recommend the Nak'd ones available at Holland &Barrett.Stock up on remedies for everything you'resusceptible to; thrush, cystitis, IBS, migraines, stomach upsets, Dioralyte(for if you get diarrhoea) and try to check with the doctor or nurse prior tosurgery if they're okay to mix with your pain medication.I’ve also had great results using ManukaHoney (10+ strength) on all kinds of bacterial infections recently andapparently some people are now experimenting with using this directly onwounds.  So perhaps you could lookinto this and/or discuss with your surgeon.  (I tried arnica when I had my surgery but didn’t think ithad much effect - so it really is whatever works for you!)Big pants!  Not the Bridget Jones type that suck you in (ouch!)  What you will need are knickers one ortwo sizes bigger than your normal size, preferably with hardly any elastic tothem.  Essentially you wantsomething that isn't really going to touch you at all as your middle is goingto be really sore.  It's gross, butthongs two sizes bigger than your normal size may just be your perfect pant atthis time.Ladies – a few days after the surgery I gotmy period very early.  I am notsure if this was a side effect of the surgery, but please pack your hospitalbag accordingly.  Also I am sorryto say that my periods were a lot more painful for a while after thesurgery.  You can try and use someof pain management techniques here, or alternatively you could ask your doctorif and when you can go back on the contraceptive pill – as this does reallylighten my periods and provides a bit of respite.  It's also worth discussing with your surgeon AND your GP (asthey may differ in opinion) about the wisdom of using ibuprofen as a painkiller for periods.  Renal doctorsdon't like you to use it as does affect the kidneys, but your GP may advisethat it's fine to take for a few days and is much more effective as it actuallyslows down your period – but always seek medical advice (even if you don'tfollow it to the letter!)Make sure you have a hot water bottle andeveryday pain killers such as paracetamol and ibuprofen.If very lovely friends invite you to staywith them at this time – consider it. I had a lot of offers, but decided to stay with my family.  Remember that if you are donating toanother family member, (or even if not) this can be a difficult time for themand it may not be easy for them to support you in the way that you need.  I was happiest when I finally got backto my own home, even though it was earlier than planned and a few very lovelyfriends would visit me, even drive me to their house for dinner.  Please accept every offer of supportyou receive, even if you don't eventually take it up.Also remember that you won't be able to drive for a while, and evenbeing a passenger can be painful, so ask people with really nice comfortablecars to be your chauffeurs (and avoid speed bumps if you can!)
