8 days post-op

[Auntiex3 13]

So I had surgery last tues, and went yesterday for my one week appointment. They took the drainage tube out & said everything looked good! I've also lost 19 lbs!!!! I'm still struggling to get all fluids & Proteins in, but I'm doing better than I was a few days ago with that. I feel very exhausted and tired all the time though. I've told myself all day that I was gonna work out, but it hasn't happened yet. I just don't seem to have the energy. It still hurts a little when I bend over but nothing major. I'm looking forward to cottage cheese next week!!!!!

and it's WAY too soon to work out in my opinion. i'm not working out until i have NO pain at ALL in my body, however long that takes, i'm ok with it.

my drainage tube came out under my right breast. I had to empty it and record the mL. I'm not pushing the working out right now, but I also don't want to put if off. I asked yesterday at my apt, and they said, whatever I'm comfortable with.

This sounds horrible but I can't figure out how to start a new topic. Done it before a couple times, but don't see it now, lol. Anyhow, can anyone give suggestions on Gummy Vitamins? I'm wanting to switch from the pills to gummies, but i'm not sure which route I should go. Thanks!

I'm not an expert, but my doctor told me the Gummy Vitamins don't have Iron so they aren't good for us. One of the biggest issues is iron deficiency. Perhaps it's brand defendant, but make sure you get your iron. Also, make sure you take your Calcium at a different time then the iron because the calcium prevents uptake of iron, and you end up pooping it out.

Instead, take a look at liquid vitamins. They are full of the right nutrients and they taste good. Two tbsp by itself, or in your favorite liquid. I put mine in my Protein smoothies.< /p>
