Well, just a little update, was supposed to leave BWI at 5:10 and the left engine would not turn over so about 1.5 hours later, they got it fixed and we are on our way, love having wifi on the plane! Mom is at the hotel near DFW, we will leave tomorrow morning for San Diego and then on to Mexicali!

I took my daughter's pillow, has cute little hearts all over it (already had a few looks from other passengers...). This is my oldest and she has the worst time with me leaving so I gave her my pillow and took hers, I hope this helps her get through the next 5 days.

I will update as I can and also give Mom a tutorial on VSGtalk so she can update if I am unable to after surgery.

Take care! If anyone is on Chat right now, you got my undivided attention for the next 3 hours! Long flight!

I had the pain in the middle of my back... it was an indication for me that it was time to slow the drinking, just going too fast. It has since transitioned to the front. So, good luck with that! Glad you are doing well and both swallow tests were great!

Almost to San Diego Airport, headed home today!

You did it Angie! I am so excited for you. Now comes the part where you take over. You're going to be great!

I know you get home late tonight... or maybe its early morning. Let us know how your feeling and how the plane ride was. I know you were a little concerned. My guess is your doing just fine.

Take Care

We had some setbacks on our travel, diverted to Austin due to bad weather at DFW and now back at DFW waiting for plane to Baltimore, I will not be home until about 4am! So tired!!

Oh, bless your heart. Waiting for a plane is horrible even when you feel your best. I hope you are handling the wait well and hope you get some sleep on the plane.

That sucks. Hope you're staying hydrated and you make it home soon!

Trying to stay hydrated but realizing that stress would normally have me eating and drinking like crazy! Sure won't gain any weight on this flight! Drinking some blue berry juice cocktail, really gotta start some protein at home tomorrow!

Yeah, definitely: Water and protein, protein and water. Right now, that's the name of the game.

Hi Angie, Just keep sipping to keep yourself hydrated...then when settled you can integrate the protein into your diet.

I hope you made it home safe without dehydration. You had a challenging trip regardless of having surgery. Great that your mom was with you. Best wishes.

Yikes... stuck in an airport!!!! Hopefully by the time I'm reading this you are sound asleep in your own bed. Keep sipping and let us know how your doing

Well, I made it to my bed at 4am this morning! Have you ever been so tired that you are not? Well that was me... But I tried to sneak in bed without waking my husband who stayed at my house to watch kids. He immediately got an attitude with me for not saying hello (again, tried not to wake him) so after him trying to start an argument, I asked him to leave.

This journey will be challenging enough without having an insensitive, self absorbed person taking my energy and quite frankly I don't have any energy to hand out right now.

This may be more of a beginning for me than I realized. I took the kids to school which was extremely scary and swear I will never do that again on no sleep and came home and got 6 hours of sleep so I feel better. I took my Nexium (anyone know a better way to take these without dissolving and taking the chalk down?) and am sipping on beef broth now getting ready to tackly an Isopure Protein drink.

There were Hershey's Kisses on the counter when I got home (leftover from my last minute eat anything you want stage) and I tossed them in the trash. Did I want one, yes, is it worth it anymore, absolutely not!!! Thank you Will Power, thank you Sleeve!

Talk to everyone soon and thank you!!!

Angie

So sorry for you having to deal with your hubby when you were already past tired.

As far as your meds, I took mine right away with a sip of water. No problems at all! I have been able to do that from just a few days out.

So glad to see you are finally home and in your own element! You will feel so much better after a good nights sleep and a few hugs from the kids!

Good luck and happy losing!

Hi Angie, just checking in to see if you are okay? Rested?
