I'm packing light too- clothes are going to be comfort > style... no judgements at the hotel lol. Bringing gas x (even though I heard it doesn't help with surgical gas), this super awesome lipbalm I got at sephora (Bite Agave lip mask), some single serve fruit flavored Syntrax packets, sugar free crystal light stuff, etc

By the way guys, I've heard a lot of talk about Syntrax Sweets chocolate Truffle Protein... actually I also tried the Cappuccino flavor.. Super delicious!!! I'm actually looking forward to drinking those three times a day lol.

what is everyone packing?! I am flying through spirit and can only bring a small backpack.. need to crafty Ideas of how to fit everything so I don't have to pay their over priced baggage fee's.. I heard back light but would like to hear everyone else's lists..

Spirit even charges for a carry-on, craziness! I'm going to try to fit everything in my shoulder bag. I was thinking it would be best to roll up my clothes and put in zip lock bags, they won't be wrinkle-free but it will save $$ and the hassle of checking a bag. I'm just taking comfy pants (yoga-ish) and t-shirts. Do we need to take our Vitamins with us? I was thinking meds had to be in a prescription bottle; does anyone know? I have to have zyrtec daily or I break out in hives so I'm going to have to find a way to either get a script for it or buy it when I get there.

I heard that people did it. You don't have your passport yet? I don't either yet.

I applied for my passport on the 3rd and had it by the 13th. I paid $30 to have it expedited. I also ordered a passport card, which they do not expedite, and I still got that by the 17th.

Hi Ladies,

You don't necessarily need a passport to enter Mexico. However, US law requires that you have one to re-enter the US. Naturally, there are some rumors of people who have made it without a passport - but I have also heard stories of people who have had to wait in Mexico / Canada for several weeks while it is sorted.

Regardless, I would highly recommend obtaining a passport prior to your trip.

  • I have not got mine yet.. I have spoke to several people who said they did not get one and just came back with their BC and ID and that worked fine for them.. I really hope this is the case! I don't want to be detained in mexico lol .. I might just have to get it expedited.. problem is the post office only does them until 2pm and I can't time off work! ugh

I don't see how I missed this thread!! I'm flying out on Monday April 7 from Orlando, Fl. I arrive in San Diego at around 10:45am, which is 9:45am TJ time. I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up sitting around and waiting atleast once or twice that day because I get in so early. I hope the Marriott has early check in! Look forward to seeing u all!

      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.
