Preparations before

It's important to make preparations before having surgery.

When you come home from the hospital after surgery, you may be tired, be in pain and feel uncomfortable. This may have an adverse effect on your appetite. Your energy to cook probably won't be so great right after surgery.

Therefore, it may be a good idea to have some frozen, pre-made meals, which can be heated up. In this way you ensure that you'll get something sensible to eat on the days when your energy may be low.

It's important that you use your energy to do your workouts, so you can bounce back quicker.

It may also be a great help organise with family, friends and acquaintances, that they come and help you with cooking or go shopping for you.
