I'm struggling
15 days out. very anxious. Like my skin is crawling. I can't seem to get my protein shakes in or water. I want food sorta. Like to taste it. My mouth tastes so nasty i can not stand it. I quit smoking before surgery but right now i want one badly. I get ready to fix something to eat and just sit back down cover up and want to sleep. Help...

13 days out stomach pain
I started my vitamins and honestly have no idea if i am doing any of this correctly. I feel like I'm drinking to fast. 2 oz in 15ish mins. Today i have a lot of pressure in my tummy. Gassy sounds. And generally feel like crap. I cry off and on most of today. Wednesday i can add mushy. My belly feels bloated.

Abdominal Binder?
I had the same situation... It was so painful. Good meds though. Taking longer to get moving the way i like but getting there. They will give you a binder there but you'll want a spare.

Still no answers... Losing hope
I have finished my 6 month requirements april 1. I still don't have final insurance approval. May 1 was my surgery date, but that won't happen. I am very discouraged right now. I feel like it's just not going to happen.

Waiting seems to be the worst
I hear ya. No smoking. I guess i could get my supplements. It's a struggle for sure. We just need that final word right. Its comforting to know so many of us are in the same boat and hopefully not the titanic. Lol.

Waiting seems to be the worst
I had my final apt on April1. Still no word on final approval. I am very discouraged. I have called a couple times to check with no response. I get voicemail everytime. I usually hang up as i dont want to be that person... But no answer everytime is a bummer. I just want to know if I'm approved. I don't want to buy stuff until i know. Now all i want is starbucks and a cigarette. How long does approval take.
