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

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
