Going to the emergency room finally



Recommended Posts

I have to give myself Lovenox shots for 2 weeks due to family history of blood clots on both sides of my family. I hate doing it, but I'm following orders.

I have DVT and pulmonary embolisms presently on coumadin. This is so scary and I must admit 6 weeks and I can still barely walk from the pain in my calf. All my mind can think of is the pain, subsequently I can barely eat. I am definitely struggling.

Tanyamann32. I know it's been awhile since you've written this, but can you please tell me what they did about your bleeding ulcer? I have another one now and it's bad too. He only gives me carafate liquid to take 4 times a day. It's not gone yet. I know you know how they hurt. Would you please tell me what they did for you and how are you doing now? Thank you, Sharon

I have to be on lovenox shots for 4 weeks postop. My surgery isn't until 6/21/17. I had bilateral pulmonary embolisms a couple years back and to this day no one knows why I had them. They were awful and hurt a lot. I had to see a hematologist to get me cleared for surgery. My surgeon usually puts everyone on the shots for 2 weeks, but the hematologist said for me to be on them for 4 weeks just to be on the safe side. I'm all for it.

      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.
