IT'S SHRINKING

HI there. I too am doing the Lovenox shots. I had to start them two days before my surgery, which is tomorrow 9/10. I am also a nurse so I am use to giving these shots to other people. it is harder to give them to yourself i agree. All I can say is pinch the area you are going to inject and then go in quick. those little needles are pretty sharp and really small. Don't let go of the pinch until you have withdrawn the needle. That shouild decrease some of the bruising. There is nothing to be done about the burning. It will be over with before you know it. Kind of like the killer liquid diet. I think diet is worse than the shots. Good luck.

Hi I'm Inan from CHicago and I am scheduled for surgery on 9/10 with Dr Jeffery Rosen. I love his group. They treat each person as an individual. They really seem to care. I am on day 6 of a 14 day medifast pre-op diet. They are powdered meals, shakes, soups, pudding, eggs and oatmeal. I add a little spice to them and they are pretty good. They are a high protein, low calorie, low fat meal plan. Good luck to you and all the rest of the september samuris. This is my first post on here. Actually my first post ever. I am looking forward to having a great group lile this to support each other.
