I'm struggling
shelleylester replied to shelleylester's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How much do you consume at one time. Im scared to try anything. I am not getting shakes down either. Too sweet and make my mouth taste terrible. I cant get my butt to work because i don't know what to feed myself and am in so much pain still and cry all the time -
I'm struggling
shelleylester replied to shelleylester's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm still on mushy... Yogurt. Pudding, eggs. What are you eating? -
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?
shelleylester replied to Gumpgal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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
shelleylester posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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. -

shelleylester replied to shelleylester's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm calling tomorrow again. It's hard to get a person on the phone, but i will keep trying. Just don't know to think. My life has been full of disappoints just hope this isn't yet another. -
Waiting seems to be the worst
shelleylester replied to TLW's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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. -

shelleylester replied to TLW's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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. -
