make up....not for me I'm sure ill feel kinda crappy so I want to look equally as crappy. I wish i had a maxi dress but then again i don't own any dresses. I don't know what the weather will be like in mexico and I'm not sure if I want to dress wrong get back to colorado and freeze. so I'm wearing sweat pants and t-shirts. I'm dreading the flight since the seats are so tiny and my butt is so big!

Lol yeah, I live in AK, so I am bringing a pair of yoga pants and a sweatshirt in my carry-on for when I get home. I'd rather not die during the deplaning process lol.

I actually bought a seatbelt extender for the trip down there. I can usually squeeze in, but figured it would be nice to feel my legs during the flight and have a few inches to allow a bit of leeway... I like the outside isles in the back of the plane. Most of the time you can put the outer arm rest up and give yourself some extra seat room. Plus, I like being close to the bathroom so I don't have to apologize to 50 people for bumping them.

God, I am so excited to be normal size and not have to worry about this ever again. Sigh.

Yea I have not bought one I usually just ask for one thats why I do priority boarding so i'm not asking in front of 100 ppl..it's like yelling hey fatty here I can't fit the seat belt! I do have an aisle seat as well on the way home it is in the back otherwise i'm in the front. the seats in the back of planes tends to be a lil smaller but i'm hoping i'm a lil smaller too. I CAN'T believe we only have 7 more weeks! How friggin exciting is that. I use to be 150 lbs so I have some clothes I can get into but of course im going to buy all new stuff. YAY!

I decided on maxi dresses bc I scared of being uncomfortable with the waist band of pants.. And weather for me prolly won't be bad bc I live in Texas so the weather won't be too bad. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF YOU CAN BRING G2 Gatorade into Mexico I know there's a Walmart like 3 blocks from the hotel but I'm not sure how I feel about walking to it??

It should be fine if you buy it when you arrive in San Diego. Also don't fret about walking to the Walmart. Mexico isn't any worse than the U.S. and their Walmart has all the same stuff as ours.

I did not find one maxi dress that was even remotely flattering to my figure so I just think it will be sweats for me. my waist band does not cinch or anything so I think it will be very comfortable. you can just about everything drink wise in mexico that you can in usa. btw i have not had soda or anything but once a day cup of peppermint tea for 23 days. it was not as hard as I thought it would be!

Mine is Jan 13th!!! I'm getting so excited. I have a two week pre op full liquid diet. I'm very nervous about this. I need to figure out what Protein is the best. I don't have the money to spend to try all different kinds. Congrats to all!!

Congrats on setting a date!!

I found "premier protein" to be delicious and affordable ( choc flavor.) can be bought in bulk @ costco and pre made for an easy 30g protein!!

I think it's safe to say we are all a bit apprehensive about liquid dieting! However, I tell myself it's SO worth it! Stay positive and make sure and write in for encouragement in the low times. :)

I don't like Protein Shakes mostly because they are usually chocolate or vanilla and almost always chalky tasting. But I did buy the Atkins pre made shakes (cafe caramel and mocha latte) and I kind of like them. Probably because I'm a coffee drinker and they have coffee in them. Probably not good for after surgery but for the pre-op stage it's not bad.

      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.
