Suggest Diet Plans Before A Hernia Surgery
My husband is having surgery for a double hernia tomorrow at 7:30 am. He has had one of the worst days of his life scrambling all day trying to accomplish integral computer tasks. It is now almost 9 pm and he is thinking about eating a slice or two of pizza at a friend's where they are completing the task. I told him he is nuts and not to do it. Can he have some broth or something instead? Pizza seems the worst thing to eat at this time.
