Hi Rachel! I would strongly advise buying a back rest, it really helps you with getting up after surgery! That combined with my travel pillow i was falling asleep no problem haha. My surgeon advised to stop taking all supplements & things like protein shakes 4 weeks before surgery, and if you go to the gym do lighter exercise, especially chest muscle wise. For post surgery i made sure I had a drawer in my room open with everything id need as I couldnt open a drawer for the first few days, and anything kitchenwise i left on the worktop. Meal prep too if you can, as the last thing you fancy doing is cooking! Also pineapple juice haha an ingredient in pineapple helps with swelling! good luck with your op hun! xx
