I also received the shots in the stomach while in the hospital. It's a pretty common practice' date=' helps to prevent blood clots. I was sleeved on July 29th. I've had very little if any major issues other than the typical - drinking Water, intake of 70-80 grams of protein.[/quote']

I have to do the 2x a day shots for 30 days. You don't?

Hey people' date=' I am 3-days post-op! 8/19 and feeling good. I am getting my fluids in taking anti gall stone pills and prilosec along with all liquid vitamins from C, B-Complex, B-12, multi, hair nails skin, Calcium caltrate among other things.

What's puzzling to me is I havent read anyone else discussing giving shots 2x to the abdomen after surgery. They are blood thinners but I was terrified but I did it. So happy.

I got them while I was in the hospital for 2 days once I was release I didn't have to get them I guess. I just made sure I was up and walking. I guess each doctor is different.

Welcome and good luck to you on both of your journeys.

Thank you. Cancer to me is much easier to beat and conquer than losing weight.. for it's amazingly true.

Congrats. I'm in Jersey too. Are you in Central Jersey??

I was closer to NYC, but recently moved to southern NJ, not far from Atlantic City. I need to update my profile...bad habit really.

When I had a hysterectomy in 07, I gave myself those shot everday for a month.

I never had shots... while in the hospital they gave me blood thinners. But even those were just shots in the arm. Maybe it depends on your blood work when you leave or how much you're moving around... personally I walked a lot after surgery. I'm talking mere hrs after surgery I wanted to get up and walk (it helped with the gas pain). But every doctor and what they prescribe is different.

My doctor orders for everybody. The shots were delivered 3wks before I was even approved. They started them in the hospital the morning of surgery. One shot per day for 20 days

Wow! Yeah I didn't go through that... and actually glad. I can't imagine giving myself a shot every day for 20 days. Every doctor is definitely different

I can't lie the whole box is still in my room. I just couldn't do it. I just made sure I got up walked hourly to prevent blood clots. Just call me chicken.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
