Good News from the Dr.

Went to my 2 week Post-Op and just got confirmation that I have no leaks! My incisions are healing well enough for me to begin exercising, lifting, and taking a bath! LoL
I also admitted to her that I did not take my blood thinner but she said I'm not a huge risk for a blood clot anymore. I told her I felt good a few days ago and I kind of cheated and had refried beans and a finger length of soft fish and she gave me the ok. Pretty much told me I can start trying other foods, just to stay away from: caffeine, sodas, alcohol, hard cheese right now, pasta and of course red meat. Just to make sure I chew and make sure it's moist. she also told me I'm pretty low on my B12 and to add that in addition to my multivitamin. Ugh, another pill. Showed her my grocery list and she was pretty pleased, made me scratch off oatmeal and baby food. I can live with that.
 
That’s great! Are you predisposed to blood clots? I have to do a shot once a day for 30 days after my surgery to prevent a blood clot because I have MTHFR, and I’m not looking forward to it. But, I also don’t want a blood clot, so I’ll do the shot lol
