I had to do it for 2 wks, 14 shots. But I actually stopped on day 11. In the beginning I got used to them and they didn't hurt, but the last few I did were like the most painful thing. I think by then I was bruised and sore all over my abdomin. My husband gave them to me.

I just had them while in the hospital for the surgery. They gave me quite a few doses.

The shots were given to you to either stop a blood clot from forming or dissolve one you already have. You should never stop taking them until you have completed what your Dr. has ordered. If you have or get a clot and it breaks loose in your blood stream it will either go to your heart and cause a Pulmonary Embolism that carries a 75 % death rate. Or it will go to your brain and cause you to ha e a Stroke. So please follow your Physicians order so you can live to enjoy your new life

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
