You may feel self doubt, uncertain about the future and on top of all this, you\u2019re likely experiencing pain.<\/p><p>Preparing mentally and emotionally for surgery can look different for everyone. One of the best ways to overcome anxiety related to any procedure is by asking questions and going over the procedure with your medical team.<\/p><p>You can also do some research on your own. This allows you to better prepare any questions you may have. You should always feel empowered and comfortable enough to voice your concerns with your physician.<\/p><p>We\u2019d also suggest finding a calming strategy that works best for you. Here are some examples of relaxation techniques you can do on your own:<\/p><ul><li>Breathing exercises<\/li><li>Guided meditation<\/li><li>Positive thinking and mindfulness<\/li><li>Deep, restorative sleep<\/li><\/ul><p><a href=\"https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/stress-control-101-lp\/\">Stress relief<\/a> is a big aspect of preparing for surgery.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e11366 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4e11366\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-yaroslav-shuraev-8845647-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-321519\" alt=\"How To Prepare For Surgery - Healthy Diet\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-yaroslav-shuraev-8845647-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-yaroslav-shuraev-8845647-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-yaroslav-shuraev-8845647-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-yaroslav-shuraev-8845647-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-yaroslav-shuraev-8845647-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-yaroslav-shuraev-8845647-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pexels-yaroslav-shuraev-8845647-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eeb995d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eeb995d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Preparing Physically For Surgery<\/h2><p>Physically preparing for surgery is just as important as mental preparation.<\/p><p>Before surgery, you\u2019ll want to pay particular attention to what you\u2019re eating. This is the fuel your body needs to get through surgery in good shape.<\/p><p>Your diet should focus on nutrient dense foods that provide plenty of vitamins and minerals. If you\u2019re not sure where to start, you can always look at the Mediterranean Diet for guidance. This isn\u2019t so much a diet as it is a way of eating and a lifestyle of health.<\/p><p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/warnerorthopedics.com\/february-webinar-mediterranean-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Mediterranean Diet\u00a0<\/a>focuses on whole foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, healthy fats, fish and seafood. This deters you from eating inflammatory, processed foods that are high in sugar and unhealthy fats.<\/p><p>Interestingly, there is research that demonstrates a fast prior to surgery improves outcomes. Although the research is compelling, most physicians still will not recommend this. Fasting induces \u2018stress response\u2019 systems in the body and these enhance healing capacities. If you are interested in this, speak with your surgeon.<\/p><p>Taking a multivitamin, like Dr. Warner\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewelltheory.com\/product\/pea-pain-relief-vitamin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daily Multivitamin<\/a>\u00a0with PEA, can reduce inflammation and help fortify your foundational health, potentially reducing your recovery time!

Remove all loose area rugs and position furniture to allow for crutches, walkers or knee rollers. Make sure you have all the medical equipment needed for your house prior to surgery if possible. This includes shower seats, raised toilet seats and\/or bedside commodes, mobility aids like rolling walkers or knee roll-walkers and any ramps or bars that are needed for safety. Sometimes, if a physical therapist evaluates the home prior to surgery a full assessment can happen and all of the proper equipment can be ordered.<\/p><p>If you\u2019re considering surgery, we always recommend seeking as much information as possible, as well as a second opinion.
