Hi Mrsalkire,

Google: questions ask neurosurgeon before back surgery
Google: questions ask neurosurgeon before cervical surgery
Google: questions ask neurosurgeon before spine surgery
Google: surgery what to bring to hospital
Google: surgery what to have ready at home

The hospital patient advocate (or someone) should provide you with any specific dietary requirements. In general, have about a week's worth of meals prepared, frozen/refrigerated, and ready to go.

Here's one handbook that covers a lot:
