Rohler' date=' what channels did you have on the tv? Or what tv shows were you able to watch. Trying to decide if I need to try to bring something to watch.[/quote']

There was a good HBO channel and a few others u should be fine. How ever I did watch movies on the plane to pass time.

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. I made it home safe and sound but what a long day of travel. We left hotel at 8 am and got home at 3:00 am well 12 am if u don't count the time change. Word from the wise: even if I think u r fine and don't need a wheel chair ( which we didn't ) GET ON IF U HAVE A CONNECTING FLIGHT WITH A SMALL WINDOW OF TIME BETWEEN FLIGHTS. We only had a 50 minute layover and if not for are wheel chair that where waiting on us we would have missed r next flight. They ran us threw the airport and we made are flight by 1 minute and I'm not exaggerating. I feel really bad for the 2 wheel chair pushers that ran with me and by friends big bodies thru the airport. Lol. So now that I have been home I have been very tired and having a really hard time eating or drinking. I did manage to get down 1 Protein Shake and 24oz of Gatorade yesterday and two Protein Shakes and 8 ounces of Fluid so far today. I will get in more fluid b4 bed but I don't know how much. I am 12 pounds since pre op diet or just down 3 pounds since surgery. But I will take that.

Congrats on the loss! I'm definitely keeping wheelchairs and layovers in mind for traveling home.

Glad you made it home safe and sound. Flying home can be exhausting. And congrats on your loss, also!

If asked, would i do it again; I would do it agin in 2 seconds flat and not change a thing. I feel good. It just seems like I am focused all day on getting in all my Fluid and Protein. I'm doing pretty good with Protein Shakes. I'm getting in a minimum of 60 grams so far shooting for 74. However, I'm not getting in as much fluid. I am pushing to get in 24 oz a day. I got in 42 oz today but boy it was a struggle. I'm never hungry and can't tell when I'm full. VERY WEIRD!! It hurts my stomach a little to eat and it helps when I stand up to eat. Cream Soups seem to be the easiest to get down but everyday gets better and better.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
