Gruene Violets

Thanks for the input. You confirmed what I thought. Actually the only things extra I need are 2 DeJa Blue bottles. That's what I fix my Crystal Light in and they are the perfect size. But I can pick those up anytime after I land.

Woooo hooooo... one week from tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay all you Houston people. I am freaking out right now about the time that I have to switch from one concourse to another. I have 51 minutes to get from A to B. Will I have to go through security again? I am nervous Nellie! I don't fly much and HATE to change planes. I could no I take off in the gate next to where I come in and still be afraid I am going to miss the plane.

Do I have to worry or should I be able to breathe easy? I am flying in on Chataqua (sp) which is a Continental, and flying out to SAT on regular Continental.

Thanks,

Jane

Terry you are sooo organized and helpful!!!! Thanks, I haven't flown since 9/11 so will look into that website to do what is right.

no, you don't have to go through security again. 51 min should be plenty of time for you to walk from one concourse to the next. if you see yourself pressed for time you can catch a ride with one of the little shuttles that go around the airport. just flag one down. it looks like a long little golf cart.

I did not go to Walmart and buy any clothes for the trip. So unless I have something that matches from last year....I am gonna be left out!

I bought me a disposable waterproof camera today....kept forgetting that. I also got some heavy duty sunscreen---Pamela warned me about steroids and sun....so I got the highest SPF I could find!

Judy---I forgot on the other thread, but loved your pictures---especially when you left your halo to show!!!

Rick brought me a manicure set from the oil & gas show----made me laugh. I am putting it in my checked luggage---at an oil and gas conference!!!

Well.....gonna go walk now....talk to ya tomorrow, see ya in a week!!!

Heads up everyone. My mom was admitted to the hospital last night. She has a BNP count of 5000+. The normal is 95, 1300 is considered crazy-high. It's a marker for heart failure. I spent several hours in the ER yesterday with her and I'm wiped out. Have to be at work today but my sister is with her.

I sure can't say what all this means, but I will certainly try my best to keep my plans intact. At the very least I'll try my hardest to be there Friday to round everyone up and at least most of Saturday.

Cross your fingers! Who knows.... she could be fine in a couple of days.

Oh, for those of you who have connecting flights: If your first flight is running late and you miss your connection...you go straight to any flight desk and see what they can do to get you another connection ON ANY AIRLINE. They will try to connect you on one of their flights but if the schedule is not convenient you are allowed to raise hell and make them pay for a ticket on another airline. Especially if you have plans like these where there are 'deadlines' to meet.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
