So weeks leading up to my sinus surgery I wanted to be a good patient and go cold turkey on Alcohol. I stopped drinking any type of alcohol 3 weeks before my surgery date to make sure my body was in tip top conditioning. You are also supposed to stop taking anything that may thin your blood such as Advil, Ibuprofen, Motrin, etc. I also discontinued the use of OMEGA 3's and Fish oils as recommended by my ENT doctor.
I ate very healthy during these 3 weeks to prepare myself.
I drank Organic ORGAIN meal replacement for breakfast (highly recommended) and ate very healthy organic meals at night. Drank plenty of fluids and did as much exercising as possible because I knew after surgery it would be quite sometime before I could exercise again. The chocolate and Vanilla Bean flavors are very tasty.

I continued my daily Neilmed Sinus Rinse/Alkalol mixture every night until the surgery.
My next post will detail my surgery experience.
