Its been 5 yrs since my surgery and I can't seem to get back to the weight I was before surgery, of coarse this also includes having a child a year and a half afterwards...But I'm constanly being told by the doctors nurse to stay away from the greens!!! I know about the vitamin K, but I can't seem to keep my coumadin levels straight!!! Any suggestions! Thanks for reading, Hope tp hear from ya'll~~Becky

Rebecca - you had a child with a mechanical valve??? If so, there's lots of women that would like to know your story!

Anyway - those who say "stay away from the greens" don't know Coumadin. Our saying here is Dose the Diet, Don't Diet the Dose. And we could probably post that half a dozen times a day. Eat what you want/should eat and adjust your dose accordingly to what your INR is on what you are eating. I LOVE salads and probably have one 4 times a week. I love brocolli and many vegetables. I eat them. I don't binge on spinach or anything else high in K, but I do eat normally.

Do you have an exercise regime that you do? If not, that may help. Just make sure you run it past your cardio.

Being a mom of young children makes weightloss a challenge. I would say do anything healthy you need to do to lose, if that is your desire, and let your Coumadin be adjusted according.
