Your Plan Starts Here

This simple roadmap walks you through what to do, when and why it matters.

Build Your Foundation

2-4 Weeks Before Surgery

Now’s the time to start strengthening your body and supporting your recovery before it even begins. Small, consistent steps now can make a big difference later.

  • Start daily movement (strength, cardiovascular)

  • Fuel with protein-rich, anti-inflammatory foods

  • Practice deep breathing and lung exercises

Build Habits & Reduce Stress

1-2 Weeks Before Surgery

You’ve built a strong base, now keep the momentum going while reducing anxiety and preparing your environment.

  • Continue strengthening activities and hydration

  • Prepare your home recovery space

  • Add in calming habits like meditation or journaling

Calm, Focused, Prepared

1-3 Days Before Surgery

You’re almost there. Focus on rest, organization, and confidence. You’ve already done the work, now step into surgery day with confidence.

  • Pack and review reminders

  • Rest and light stretching exercises

  • Reflect, breathe, and trust your preparation

Why It Matters

Preparing for surgery isn’t just about showing up, it’s about showing up stronger. Research shows that patients who engage in prehabilitation, focus on proper nutrition, and practice mental wellness experience fewer complications, recover faster, and feel more in control. These small, evidence-based steps can reduce anxiety, improve satisfaction, and lead to better outcomes overall. At Prepare Well Health, we’re here to guide you through each one.
