Today was my first post- up from surgery 12 days ago. I still can not walk or stand for long. No pain just winded every time I try walk, I can't even stand to take a shower or even brush my teeth. The Doctor sent me straight to the ER. I had a Cat Scan and X-ray. All good. No blood clots.

All good, but why am I soooo out of breath? They gave no answers. I have a follow up appointment with my Dr. at end of week. Anyone have this happen to them?

Maybe the meds? I was like that a few days and I stopped the loritab and take Tylenol. . Hope you feel better

If not meds maybe you need food? What is your diet right now? I know some docs want their patients only on liquids. Mine allowed full liquids for two weeks, which allowed me to eat creamy soups, yogurt, pudding, soft cheeses, mellow, and protein shakes. I progressed to soft foods after two weeks. Then I could have scrambled eggs, hummus, refried beans, thicker soups, and pureed foods of a more substantial variety. I felt stronger with something more like real food in my pouch.

It is a proven fact, that any narcotics will labor ur breathing! Are you on pain meds? Try not taking th til u get up and motivated, walk a lil and then take em. See if that helps til you can get into the dr! Hope that was useful info!! keep us posted on how ur doing and what the doc says!!

Thx! No more meds for me?.

I stopped them first week.

I'm thinking I'm not getting enough protein

Keep you posted after this week.

How are feeling now? Are you okay? I would suggest that you start taking mashed up food, but only if you can tolerate liquid foods. Beans, fish, egg whites, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. are good for health.

Before my hysterectomy I was extremely short of breath because I was extremely anemic. I also craved ice which I found out was also a sign of anemia. I hope you feel better soon.
