I am not sure that I would wait to get seen. Coughing up blood is something that should be addressed ASAP. As far as discharge from your wound, that should really be addressed also--its not normal esp. since you had surgery a couple weeks ago. Good luck with everything.

Depends on what it is. As long as its not in the NASID class it's ok.

Just a heads up organic broth is the best...but good luck getting it down, I would stay away from it. I had Rachael rays and it was good.

Your not alone! I am 6 weeks post op and get hiccups frequently after eating. I haven't figured out a way to get rid of them tho, sorry! God luck.

I had the same thoughts running through my head from 2 days pre op till my two week follow up. Then found out I had lost 15 pds! I wouldn't have been able to do it in my own. I am four weeks out now and its the best decision I ever made. Good luck!

I am not on any medications, other than the omeperzale that they gave me after surgery. I will call tomorrow, thank you.

I know in not getting 64 oz of water a day but I try for 30-40. My potassium is normal high, but not on the others.

Glad to know that in not alone. I will have to see what the doctor says. If anyone else gets an answer let me know. Ty

It's possible that it's the fat. My doctor told me not to drink milk even fat free because of the fat. I can have yogurt and cottage cheese tho.

I am 4 weeks post op and getting light headed any time I look down even if it's to put something in the oven...anyone else have this problem or have any idea why this would be happening?

I am 26 and today marks 4 weeks post op, down 23 pounds. I was in the same boat you are. I have to say I don't regret it at all. The first week- week an a half is the hardest but you can do it. Good luck!

My doctors instructions were if I didnt have a BM after 3 days to take 2 oz. Of milk of mag....they say it will also help with the gas still in your system.
