Hi All!

 

I had my surgery on Feb. 20th, and it was a success. The surgery was outpatient so I was able to leave the hospital the same day. After I got home, later that night I developed a blood clot in my left leg.

 

I was in the hospital for 3 days and being treated with Heparin and Coumandin. I will have to continue to take Coumadin for the next 3 months. Is there anyone who is taken coumadn?

 

I am currently on Full Liquids, but not doing the high protein, which is making me very hungry. I was told I can not have my first fill until after I am taken off of Coumadin. Before leaving the hospital the dietician told me I could not have protein, so I have been unsure if I should be drinking my protein shakes and protein shots. I am waiting to hear back from my Dr. on exactly what diet plan I should be following.

 

As far as losing weight; I have lost 9 lbs since being released from the hospital.

So sorry for your complication but this is just a little set back. Not sure why they told you not to eat protein, I would follow up with your doc or a nutritionist. I know you must be hungry if only taking in liquids. Hope everything works out, keep us updated and let us know how we can support you.
