I'm packing light too- clothes are going to be comfort > style... no judgements at the hotel lol. Bringing gas x (even though I heard it doesn't help with surgical gas), this super awesome lipbalm I got at sephora (Bite Agave lip mask), some single serve fruit flavored Syntrax packets, sugar free crystal light stuff, etc

By the way guys, I've heard a lot of talk about Syntrax Sweets chocolate Truffle Protein... actually I also tried the Cappuccino flavor.. Super delicious!!! I'm actually looking forward to drinking those three times a day lol.

what is everyone packing?! I am flying through spirit and can only bring a small backpack.. need to crafty Ideas of how to fit everything so I don't have to pay their over priced baggage fee's.. I heard back light but would like to hear everyone else's lists..

Spirit even charges for a carry-on, craziness! I'm going to try to fit everything in my shoulder bag. I was thinking it would be best to roll up my clothes and put in zip lock bags, they won't be wrinkle-free but it will save $$ and the hassle of checking a bag. I'm just taking comfy pants (yoga-ish) and t-shirts. Do we need to take our Vitamins with us? I was thinking meds had to be in a prescription bottle; does anyone know? I have to have zyrtec daily or I break out in hives so I'm going to have to find a way to either get a script for it or buy it when I get there.

I heard that people did it. You don't have your passport yet? I don't either yet.

I applied for my passport on the 3rd and had it by the 13th. I paid $30 to have it expedited. I also ordered a passport card, which they do not expedite, and I still got that by the 17th.

Hi Ladies,

You don't necessarily need a passport to enter Mexico. However, US law requires that you have one to re-enter the US. Naturally, there are some rumors of people who have made it without a passport - but I have also heard stories of people who have had to wait in Mexico / Canada for several weeks while it is sorted.

Regardless, I would highly recommend obtaining a passport prior to your trip.

I don't see how I missed this thread!! I'm flying out on Monday April 7 from Orlando, Fl. I arrive in San Diego at around 10:45am, which is 9:45am TJ time. I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up sitting around and waiting atleast once or twice that day because I get in so early. I hope the Marriott has early check in! Look forward to seeing u all!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
