It is typical for my surgeons office. I was not at any risk.

No need you answered my question. It must be IM at a 90 degree angle. Thanks Piplula

What gauge is the needle?

Yes this happens. I would try to take baby sips. I know it's difficult.

I have my 6 week post op appt next Monday. I'll ask him then. Do you inject them at a 90 degree angle in your Lower abdomen similar to lovenox?

I hear ya... I'm getting frustrated too. I was sleeved on 7/30/12 and am only down 29 lbs. ugghhh. I agree though I think my body is in starvation mode. I can only get like 600 cal in per day.

So it is. My bad!

According to other posts, I thought you already had the sleeve done?

See you on the other side. :-)

Wow... Your a total Hottie!

I am so tired of the extreme critical opinions I have been seeing regarding eating carbs etc. I think that a cheat here and there is healthy. I myself I have tried diet after diet, depriving myself of certain things only to lose 50lbs and gain 80 back. I think deprivation got me to the weight I was pre-op. the great thing about the sleeve is, the portion control it forces. I will not feel guilty for eating a piece of toast, a bite of Mac and cheese, or a sugary sucker, nor will I allow others to make me feel guilty.

You look great. That is a great loss in 4 months :-)

I had to inject 1x daily for 10 days, as a blood clot prevention as well.

You can also add sugar free soda the blender takes out the carbonation. I used to love adding 6oz of sugar free orange crush, ice cubes, vanilla protein powder and mandarins oranges to make an orange creamsical protein shake. It was my favorite pre-op drink recommended by my surgeons office.

I noticed I get tipsy after 1/2 a glass of wine now, however it wears off just as fast. I am almost 6 weeks post op and had my first drink at 4 weeks out. No judgement please! I don't think 1 drink will hurt.

I would try an Ecig. They are great especially if the addiction is more "hand to mouth" related. I use the cignot brand as they have 100's of flavors to choose from, like peach, vanilla, cotton candy, toffee.... The list goes on.

Lost 2 lbs Weight this week: 229
