2 weeks post-op
Jan 15, 2011
Okay so I'm 2 weeks and 2 days post op. Everything has been going smooth so far! Thank goodness. Im Finally done with my Blood thinner shots. I had my 2 week check up yesterday and the DR said everythings going well. I told him of my concerns.#1- Protein. Cant keep them down. Tried about 20 different types. No bueno. His answer- Try Unjury. He gave me some sample packs. I tried the Chicken soup flavor and its GREAT! I can actually keep it down and it tastes good! I'm excited to try the chocolate too.
#2- Getting sick in the shower. Light headed, qweezy (sp), weak. His answer- When you get in a shower its usually really hot water (correct) and it makes blood vessels contract (i think thats the wording he used) so the blood flow leaves the head and since I'm not eating like i was before, causes these sick feelings. His advice- make sure Im really warm before i get in the shower and try not to use really hot water & that will help.
#3- Constipation. Ive had problems with this since my pre-op liquid diet. His answer- get a fiber supplement & try a colace. Works wonders.
So if any of you have had any of these issues, theres some idea for you =). I dont really think anyone reads my blogs but I'll put it on here anyways.
Oh, i also got weighed yesterday and Ive lost 11 lbs since surgery. Exciting =)
I'm now eating tuna salad, egg salad, soups, cheese, toast , and loving it =) In a few days I can start having Fish so I cant wait for that!!
