Silly question but gotta ask



Recommended Posts

I see the weight tracker at the bottom and was wondering how do I do that? I would like to show off my 18 pound pre-op loss so far lol

I am flying on Delta and was wondering if drinks are allowed outside of the ones they give you? I was thinking more for when I head back home.

I know the basics people took with them but is there anything that you took that most don't think about but was glad you had it?

For those that had surgery in Mexico, did you use cash or credit if you shopped there? I don't know if I should take $100 cash, less, more, or just my cards. I mean I am going for surgery not a vacation but hear you sometimes go out shopping before or after surgery and also, not sure about how much or if the driver is tipped that takes me in Mexico.

Any replies at all would be helpful!

They are weightloss tickers you will need to go to a site to make one up and then copy the URL that they provide at the end to paste into your signature. Check out the different tickers everyone has they will have the name of the site usually somewhere on or around the ticker. Mine is by lilyslim.

I think with any airline you can take drinks on that you have purchased after you go through security. Anything before and you will have to chuck it. There are shops in the waiting areas at the boarding gates that sell Water, juice, pop etc.

I was glad for slip on shoes (no bending). Other than that something to keep the boredom away would have been nice. I did not have a computer and totally forgot that I had my ipod. So I spent my time in my room watching tv (sometimes in spanish even though I did not understand).

I brought a little bit of cash and used that. I personally do not like to use my credit cards unless I really have to. 100$ was plenty for me but then I did not go shopping. I did however buy nexium mups there. I tipped the driver also. I guess it boils down to what you prefer to carry cash or credit cards.

Hope this information helps you.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
