I have not read any posts about the flavored cool aide sugar free that you just add to a bottle of Water lots of flavors also there is the crystal lite ones too. Thought I would put in my carry one. From what I have read the injury stuff is the best so am going to order some chicken broth today and hope it gets here. Slowly added to my suitcase...Mexico here we come!

MGM, have you checked with your iPhone carry about get the international calling? I am not taking my phone as if I even turn it on it will take a big hit. My husband uses his for work so we put the calling plan on his. Had to do 3 different additions..calling, data, and messaging. Taking both IPads his for work mine because it has all my books. Also the grand kids want to FaceTime with us. :-)

Oh that is right, you will get massive charges if you don't have an international plan. Good suggestion!

I have sprint. Couldn't get an international plan. They suggested I turn off roaming for talk, text and data so I don't get those charges. By doing that, I will be able to still use my iPhone Internet where wifi is available, such as at the hotel. I will stay in touch with my family via emails and Facebook with free wifi.

I downloaded an app that translates English to Spanish. This was helpful when the nurses had difficulty understanding my English. I used my iPad.

      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
