I am now nearly five weeks since open radical nephrectomy. I still have very little appetite, incisions feel quite tight at times and have regular stomach ache and back ache and feeling nauseous. My bowels are moving regularly although they do tend towards diarrhoea.
I was just wondering how everyone else coped with these issues and how long it took before you felt like you were approaching normality.
I had considered trying protein drinks but on looking into them they do appear to be high in potassium and sodium which can be risky with just one kidney.
Any advice/suggestions gratefully received.
Thank you
