Just A Few Questions About What To Take

[cissiesue 119]

Did any of you take a couple of bottles of Isopure with you? What kind of isopure do you like? My nut recommends it, and I was wondering if it was available in TJ or if you brought it with. What else did you take? Im planning on some bullion cubes for the flight home. We only have a 90 min flight. Please give me your suggestions. Thanks

I didn't take any Protein with me and I couldn't stand Isopuke and you can't take liquids thru the airport anyway. I drank tea and Water on the flight home. The nurse gave me a big bottle of Gatorade to drink on the ride to the airport and while I was waiting for the flight. I was fine, not hungry or thirsty. I did bring a heating pad which helped with the CO2 pains in my shoulder after surgery.

I don't know if they will let us take it over the border? If so maybe I'll pack some extra and we can all have a "drink" by the pool!! . You know they do make SF margarita crystal light now. . Hehe!!!

Deb! If you bring me a few, I'll gladly repay you! I saw one if the girls on YouTube that had one at her hotel. Maybe I can bring the powder?

[Finding Myself 146]

Hey now that's a plan! If they will let us bring them, I will!!

[cissiesue 119]

I will contact Omar about it, maybe we can get it there?

I just googled it, and found that there are two GNC's in TJ

lol @ isopuke. I am getting mixed reviews about this stuff. i am wondering if there is somewhere to get a free sample...

[cissiesue 119]

Someone said that if you go to GNC, that they will let you sample as many as you'd like. I'm going to find out hopefully tomorrow

[cissiesue 119]

Foxbins, I understand that we are given a few gatoraides, im not a huge fan of the sugary taste, so I was hoping to find some Isopure instead

Just wanted to chime in - heating pad is a MUST. Spent my second night curled around mine like a newborn, it was the only thing that kept my sanity with all that dratted gas.

Other things I was glad I brought - crystal light (cause my new tummy HATES plain Water. With a passion!), and a ton of lip balm. Wish I would have brought a powerstrip! My hubby and I are technophiles - the 4 plugins that were in our room just didn't cut it for fan, cell phone charger, heating blanket, laptop cord, alarm clock, and other sundries.

I brought Protein Powder with me to Mexico (Dr. Kelly) but it turns out he recommends no Protein until day 10 postop so it was not necessary to bring it. I bought an OJ and a Water when I got through security and drank that on my flights home.

[cissiesue 119]

Thank you ladies! I will throw a box of crystal light in, and the heating pad is on the list! Im going to be making up a surgery basket for my aunt and cousin, so c.l., chapstick, gasex strips, and a heating pad will be in there. Since we will have two rooms between us and I think I will be the only one bringing any tech devices besidrs a phone, I may throw in a power cord. Did any of you pack a bigger bag than a carry on? With 5 days there, plus all of our extra goodies, I cant imagine it all fitting! I will try a test run! Lol

I was going to bring gatorade, then realized it would be taken at airport security to scratch that idea!

Taking gas-x strips though & a heating pad.

I am hoping to just take a rolling carry-on, so that I don't have to deal with collecting luggage. Have to check my rolling bag is small enough for a carry on though!

I took a small extenson cord it came in handyto plug up cell phone and nook. i also took a heating pad but never used it.I only had a carry on. There is also a store across the street we walked to that sold gatorade . I also got broth from the resturant at the hotel. They also give u 2 bottles of Water in your room and there is a coffee maker so i used that with the small packets out of the oodle n noodles i took with me.
