Did anyone just take a carry on and were you ok to carry it after? I just have 2 changes of clothes it's not heavy at all.

I only brought a book bag as a carry on. Omar specifically said that I wouldn't be able to carry it back, and he asked if I had a roll on bag. I told him that my husband could carry both of our bags home.

I would weigh your carry on to see if it is too heavy to lift. If you are traveling alone, you could bring a carry on the rolls and ask someone on the plane to help you with it.

I was alone and had a single small roller suitcase as a carryone with the absolute least amount of stuff in I could take. I wore the same pants and maybe 2 shirts and a few pair of underwear. I actually walked all the way in the airports, one leg was really long but the airport had trams and moving sidewalks. It can be done but it's not pleasant by any means.

I had a rolling carry on. I had no problem walking with it and whenever it needed to be lifted, I asked for help.

      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.
