Mexico and going alone?



Recommended Posts

I packed light with clothes, you really won't need much. I did take my Netbook, but it's a tiny laptop and doesn't weigh much. I took headphones/ear buds so I could listen to music or hear something on my netbook if I wanted to. I used a large duffle bag that has wheels on it, it seemed lighter than my rolling suitcases. I did the carry on thing, but I had someone to help me with lifting it into the overhead compartment on our return flight so I didn't have to worry about that. You might want do carry on on your flight there, but then check your bag on return so you don't have to worry about the lifting. I also used a messenger style bag that doubled as a handbag, laptop bag, and also put my small camera in it, along with my passport, money, chapstick, etc. I didn't want a bunch of different bags to have to worry about.

Good luck!

:)

Another question when going alone is...how did you pack? I know you aren't suppose to lift much? I thought about bringing my lAp top but thought it might be too heavy for me. Thinking I better pack light.

Thanks KellL! Checking my bAg on the return flight will help! My lap top is pretty big so I don't think I will try to take it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
