Starting to get nervous....



Recommended Posts

I fly to Puerto Vallarta in 3 1/2 days!

I'm starting to get nervous.....

Mostly about the FLYING! LOL

Hope everyone had a fun 4th :thumbup1:

I bought some yummy Protein Drink mix at GNC. They let me taste it!

It came in a huge blue bottle/canister...50.00!! But if that's my sustenance for about a month? That's NOT much:biggrin0:

I hear you about flying, is this your first time? I had never flown in my life until a year ago in April when my husband and I went to Vegas. Nobody could believe that at over 40 years of age, I had never flown, but it was the truth. I was a complete nervous wreck about it. I had myself all worked up. Turns out, once on the plane, I actually enjoyed flying. But, for some reason, everytime we took off, my nose would bleed. I just flew in April again when I had my sleeve surgery and the same thing happened again. I have no idea what that is all about. But, I am sure you will do fine.

Let us know how everything goes.

VA,

It's Max Protein. Is that a bad one? I tasted good and the CA told me that ready made drinks have a lot of sodium.

Oh I have no idea - I was just curious of the brand - I haven't been able to find a Protein powder that I can tolerate yet so was curious as to what brand it was. That is the one that Eggface wholeheartedly recommends, so it's probably pretty good.

I just need to find a GNC in Las Vegas that will give samples - the one nearest my house doesn't do so. :thumbup1:

Susan, no..it's not my first time. It's my first time w/o any family, though. I feel more vulnerable alone? LOL How silly, no? And too bad we can't take anything that day before surgery (if we have to fly that day).

VA, how frustrating for you!!! I'm so sorry :scared0:

VA, I never did find one I could really tolerate. As soon as I was back on full solids, all the Protein Drinks were tossed. I just make sure I get all my Protein in with my meals.

I have a feeling that is exactly what is going to happen -- although DF is having the sleeve surgery on the 11th and he isn't nearly as picky as me, so he might be able to drink them - will keep them until we see if he can tolerate them. It will be a good way for him to get in his protein while on fulls.

Max Protein is GREAT! But my GNC doesn't carry it. :thumbup:

I really like the choc. Peanut Butter that you get online from netrition.com. It's very smooth and creamy.

The only thing I don't like about flying is that it's very boring.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!

      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!
