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!!!!!!!!!!!

That reminds me.... don't forget that toothpaste is considered a liquid. get one of those travel tubes to bring with you.

Here's a link for the regulations again if you need it TSA: SimpliFLY Your Carry-ons

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.

      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.
