I’m on day 5 of self injections, and believe me I am a huge sook, but this has been easier than I expected. Have the nurse show you how to do it painlessly. The needle is so fine you barely feel it.


Will definitely have the nurse instruct me on it. I already have the prescription for it. Thank you for the advice! I’m just such a big baby about shots. Scarring childhood incident to blame for that, lol

same here! i have one more community support group to attend and that’s my last requirement. next appointment with my surgeon we will *hopefully* be submitting to insurance. she thinks insurance could approve and i could have as soon of a date as sometime in july! i do have to do self shots though (i think, i’ve lost 13lbs but couldn’t get my BMI under 50) which i’m scared of but my best friend is currently a CNA and a nursing student so i’m going to make her do them for me lol

What are the shots for? My surgeon didn’t mention anything about shots. (Thankfully) but just curious what they do

Hope it’s not tmi, if so, I’m sorry. My surgeon only prescribed me the lovenox because I have a birth control implant so the hormones make me more prone to clotting

      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.
