ShannonbKSU 53 Posted December 19, 2014 Is anybody just exhausted? I saw someone say they walked the mall already??? Holy cow the bathroom and back makes me tired! My Dr requires a full week of Clear Liquids only so I think that's part of the problem... Just not taking any calories or nutrition in.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Dr requires a full week of clear liquids only so I think that's part of the problem... Just not taking any calories or nutrition in.. I was thinking the same thing. I have no energy. I am constantly sleeping cause of my medicine. Have to take that. I thought I would try walking around Walmart today but fell asleep to the idea ha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

get2chris 28 Posted December 20, 2014 Today was my first day out. Did some grocery shopping and Christmas shopping. Wore myself out. I had to come home with those lovenox shots. It doesn't seem like anyone else did. I am sooooo tired of them! Glad I got to go out but I did have to take a nap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexandra Jackson 0 Posted December 20, 2014 I am so afraid of blood clots that my NUT said that I must walk at least 35-45 mins a day. That was my motivation. Yesterday the mall, today kohls. I am terrified of blood clots too, but sadly haven't managed that level of movement. I instead get up every hour to 2 hours and walk around the house for 10-15 mins. That wears me out enough.

I know it, those clots are scary - I even purchased a pair of compression socks in the infomercial section of the CVS - supposed to better the circulation & massage ur leg as ur walking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MyssJones 84 Posted December 20, 2014 @@ShannonbKSU Are you taking a chewable Multivitamin, chewable Calcium, and liquid B12. I'm also on Clear Liquids and believe these are my saving grace, especially since I'm not taking in the 48-64oz of liquids I should be. While I don't feel ready to walk the mall, I do feel like short grocery store trips, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJP1243 46 Posted December 21, 2014 I have lowered my pain medication to twice a day. Hoping to switch to just Tylenol after the staples come out! Still hurting but it's semi manageable but it is worse at night time cause I can't get comfy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amy Carter 67 Posted December 21, 2014 I'm not doing well on stage 2 foods right now. I have only been able to drink a little Protein Shake and some Water most of the day. I have been stressed and devastated since Friday when I lost my mother during open heart surgery. I know she would yell at me for not trying to eat like I'm supposed to so I'm going to try to do better tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
