6 weeks post-op

[LaLa Lady 98]

Hi All, I Will be six weeks out tomorrow and have been doing well. I did have a UTI last week (I am prone to them) and was treated by my PCP with a five day course of antibiotics. I was feeling better until today...I felt nauseous all day. I did have a small piece of filet mignon last night (2 ounces) and chewed it well and than had two Apple slices afterwards. I'm wondering if I feel this way due to the food or the UTI or maybe even a stomach virus that seems to be going around. I was just wondering if Anyone else have trouble with these foods at this stage? Thanks.

It can be the antibiotics also...I'm also at 6 weeks (had Surgery Mar 20th) doing amazing so far! How much have you lost?

I think its the beef. I love steak and have had it. But it does sit heavier in my tummy than other things.

Ohh, as for the UTI, I got one the week right after surgery. Ugh! Make sure you keep your Water up (I know its hard). But I have also started taking cranberry pills - don't do cranberry pills from natures bounty (which is what I have). THose pills are huge! Also up your yogourt. I try to eat yogourt for lunch. I also use greek yogourt for chicken salad instead of mayo.< /p>

My NUTs instructions say to hold off on steak and pork chops until about 3 months post-op.

Thanks all... Feeling better today. I think I am tired of the lack of variety in my diet but every time I try to add something new it doesn't always agree with me. I do believe it was the steak also, any suggestions for non-complicated interesting food at this stage would be appreciated. I'm not much of a cook and get discouraged with all these receipes with 12 ingredients. I shouldn't complain as I am doing well, no complications, speedy recovery and 30 lbs. lost! I'm just bored with my food. I am afraid that if I don't spice it up I will be tempted to look to junk foods. Someone suggested these new home delivery programs that ship nutritious ingredients and receipes to your door for you to prepare. Anyone tried them? I am not overly concerned with calories as my stomach only holds very small amounts before I am full, So a 1/4 cup of food is usually pretty low cal! Okay I'm done. Thanks for listening.
