Starting to get nervous....



Recommended Posts

I fly to Puerto Vallarta in 3 1/2 days!

I'm starting to get nervous.....

Mostly about the FLYING! LOL

Hope everyone had a fun 4th :thumbup1:

I bought some yummy Protein Drink mix at GNC. They let me taste it!

It came in a huge blue bottle/canister...50.00!! But if that's my sustenance for about a month? That's NOT much:biggrin0:

I hear you about flying, is this your first time? I had never flown in my life until a year ago in April when my husband and I went to Vegas. Nobody could believe that at over 40 years of age, I had never flown, but it was the truth. I was a complete nervous wreck about it. I had myself all worked up. Turns out, once on the plane, I actually enjoyed flying. But, for some reason, everytime we took off, my nose would bleed. I just flew in April again when I had my sleeve surgery and the same thing happened again. I have no idea what that is all about. But, I am sure you will do fine.

Let us know how everything goes.

VA,

It's Max Protein. Is that a bad one? I tasted good and the CA told me that ready made drinks have a lot of sodium.

Oh I have no idea - I was just curious of the brand - I haven't been able to find a Protein powder that I can tolerate yet so was curious as to what brand it was. That is the one that Eggface wholeheartedly recommends, so it's probably pretty good.

I just need to find a GNC in Las Vegas that will give samples - the one nearest my house doesn't do so. :thumbup1:

Susan, no..it's not my first time. It's my first time w/o any family, though. I feel more vulnerable alone? LOL How silly, no? And too bad we can't take anything that day before surgery (if we have to fly that day).

VA, how frustrating for you!!! I'm so sorry :scared0:

VA, I never did find one I could really tolerate. As soon as I was back on full solids, all the Protein Drinks were tossed. I just make sure I get all my Protein in with my meals.

I have a feeling that is exactly what is going to happen -- although DF is having the sleeve surgery on the 11th and he isn't nearly as picky as me, so he might be able to drink them - will keep them until we see if he can tolerate them. It will be a good way for him to get in his protein while on fulls.

Max Protein is GREAT! But my GNC doesn't carry it. :thumbup:

I really like the choc. Peanut Butter that you get online from netrition.com. It's very smooth and creamy.

The only thing I don't like about flying is that it's very boring.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
