sleeveme85 2 Posted January 8, 2013 So my Surgury date is also Jan 14. But I haven't been so luck. I have given in to my hunger pains more than I would like to have. Being a flight attendant on long haul flights with nothing to do and Migraines because I couldn't eat. Really wasn't good for the altitude inflight. I'm feeling so bad now but now I'm taking it one day at a time. I wish I could have taken off for the 2 week pre- op diet. But just finished my EGD today and I'm super exciter????????????????

Nothing to do, galley full of junk and a belly screaming at you! I gained weight flying too. Take some raw veggies and rice vinegar ( maybe ask doc for something in case security won't let it through!) I put cucumbers in a zip loc and throw vinegar on them and munch like they were potato chips! I buy carrot chips and baby carrots too, the already cut "chip" ones are easiest. I'm sorry you're having a hard time. Hang in there. We only have few days to go!! Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
