Is Gatorade Safe To Drink After A Double Mastectomy, And What Foods Are Safe To Eat To Avoid Thinning My Blood?
I recently had essentially a double mastectomy. I drink ginseng tea after surgery which my doctor believes to have thinned my blood causing me to bleed too much and leak blood from my drain sites. I’m trying to avoid foods that are blood thinners now but I was drinking Gatorade. Is Gatorade safe to drink? What are foods that are safe to eat?
