Yes you can bring crystal light packs but no waters(unless frozen solid)through security. Doesn’t matter what airline it is. Snacks are absolutely ok.

I’d find another surgeon honestly..mine didn’t require any weight loss or preop diet. I just couldn’t be heavier than I was at my first appt. hopefully you find someone to work with you. The surgery will surely help manage the diabetes better. Good luck!

Daily..almost 9 weeks out from VSG. I have lost 44lbs so far(14lbs preop). My tolerance was sky high before and still is. I don’t really get the munchies. If I want to snack I always have like boiled eggs or veggies with ranch dip in the fridge. But I don’t necessarily get them. I honestly feel like it helps with curbing my appetite. It did preop as well and aided with the 14lbs. I don’t really talk about this with people because opinions are strong on usage, surgery or not. Glad to see others who enjoy as much as I.

I weigh daily. I only log a loss. I feel it helps me recognize trends and not obsess so much when I’m a few ounces more today than yesterday. I fluctuated with 3lbs during my first stall. Weighing daily helped me see it was just moving here and there and then took off again.

I’m 24 days out and stalled as well. I’m not sure how long to not see any more loss. I’m just trying not to obsess. I just got so used to seeing the weight come off that now it’s kikda disheartening.

2 weeks and 6 days out. I was pretty much hibernating the first week. I’m able to do things now but I go to sleep as soon as I get home if I go run errands or something. I get easily exhausted.

Walk. Hold down liquids. Pee.

I’m there as well. I’ll be 3 weeks out Thursday and haven’t lost for about 3 days. I had that “is it working” moment today.

Yes I had a hernia repair. One of my symptoms was shortness of breath from it pushing up on my lungs. I felt the difference in that immediately after surgery so I know it was repaired. Haven’t had any issues.

You’re going to do great! It’s tough at first but trouble don’t last always. I’m 12 days post op and feeling good!

Welp! At 9 days post op I’ve lost 17lbs. Pain wasn’t as much of a factor. The gas is way way worse and can last quite awhile. Walking and a heating pad got me through. Today is really the first day I’ve felt myself. It’s been very surreal for me. I’m just spending my time looking for good recipes to cook that my entire family can enjoy and watching YouTube. I’ve had 2 breakdowns. One was cause I was just tired of the gas pains. The second was faux concern from a quasi friend. I’m learning that this journey is all my own. Nothing is written in stone. And to take one day at a time because it WILL get better. Best of luck on Monday. And your fellow North Texans aren’t far for support.

I’m just south of Fort Worth myself. Sleeved 6/7/18.

Everyone is different so never gauge yourself based on others. With that said, I’m 5 days post op and have lost 10.6lbs.

Heyyyyyy surgery twin! I’m so glad you’re doing great! That nausea was a beast those first few days. Yuck! I’m trying to get my liquids in too. I haven’t tried anything like the cream of wheat just cause I’m a chicken. But I couldn’t be happier with my decision. All the built up anxiety is finally gone. Again, I’m glad you’re doing great.
