So embarrassed - nearly fainted on a flight yesterday!



Recommended Posts

I am 19 months post-VSG and in recent months have had very few problems and very much in maintenance phase. Happily living with my sleeve without too much thought (and by that I mean my routine is so ingrained that it has just become my new way of doing things).

Off on holiday yesterday, and had the normal last minute rush in the morning making sure we were all sorted, so didn’t have much to eat then had a boiled egg at the airport.

Got on the flight late afternoon and had some champagne (naughty), small tub of pringles and some of my son’s haribo (more naughtiness) all while thinking I am on ‘holidays’ I can have a slip! Got up to go to the loo, and the queue was massive. After 20 mins of standing in the aisle desperate for the loo (which I think contributed) I came over very hot, shaky and thought I was about to pass out - I lent on the nearest wall and slid down it. The next 5/10 mins are a bit of a blur but I know the cabin crew offered to put me in their jump seat pilot came out to make sure I was OK and sent for Water.< br />
I am so embarrassed - I hate a fuss being made, and that was a sore lesson to learn. I spent the rest of the flight feel hot, bothered and desperate to go to sleep. Am still not convinced I feel 100% OK this morning, but am 600ml of water down already!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
