Silly question but gotta ask



Recommended Posts

I see the weight tracker at the bottom and was wondering how do I do that? I would like to show off my 18 pound pre-op loss so far lol

I am flying on Delta and was wondering if drinks are allowed outside of the ones they give you? I was thinking more for when I head back home.

I know the basics people took with them but is there anything that you took that most don't think about but was glad you had it?

For those that had surgery in Mexico, did you use cash or credit if you shopped there? I don't know if I should take $100 cash, less, more, or just my cards. I mean I am going for surgery not a vacation but hear you sometimes go out shopping before or after surgery and also, not sure about how much or if the driver is tipped that takes me in Mexico.

Any replies at all would be helpful!

They are weightloss tickers you will need to go to a site to make one up and then copy the URL that they provide at the end to paste into your signature. Check out the different tickers everyone has they will have the name of the site usually somewhere on or around the ticker. Mine is by lilyslim.

I think with any airline you can take drinks on that you have purchased after you go through security. Anything before and you will have to chuck it. There are shops in the waiting areas at the boarding gates that sell Water, juice, pop etc.

I was glad for slip on shoes (no bending). Other than that something to keep the boredom away would have been nice. I did not have a computer and totally forgot that I had my ipod. So I spent my time in my room watching tv (sometimes in spanish even though I did not understand).

I brought a little bit of cash and used that. I personally do not like to use my credit cards unless I really have to. 100$ was plenty for me but then I did not go shopping. I did however buy nexium mups there. I tipped the driver also. I guess it boils down to what you prefer to carry cash or credit cards.

Hope this information helps you.

      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.

        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!
