day 5 headache and dizziness
think its because i haven't had solid/full food and have just been on clear liquids and no protein yet but oh my goodness... the lack of energy is driving me crazy!
on a better note, i gave myself my own lovenox shot today instead of the nurse giving it! i've given shots to myself before, but not for over a year so it took me some time to work up the nerve again.
i ended up having a rash on my stomach from the steri strips so called my dr.s office, got a call back in FIVE minutes from my dr. himself (i

Any chance you were a caffeine addict before and just now feeling withdrawls? Happens a lot!Caffeine withdrawal was my first thought. I have been off of caffeine since before my surgery and even though I can have 2 cups a day I won't just because of the withdrawal symptoms. Even before I gave it up I didn't drink a lof of caffeine at all.
My surgeon said that on day six if we are feeling light headed that we could have a protein drink. But check with your surgeon. I had protein shots that were clear so I drank about a third of one but had no dizziness but it was clear so I just started to drink them anyways. They are not recommended as a good way to get protein in anyways but since I had them when I found out I still used them.
