What should I bring to Tijuana?

I live in remote AK and do not have access to big box stores, GNC, etc. I am stocking up for my sugery in Jan 2015. Can anyone please help me by adding to my list? Or, help me cross stuff off if I don't really need it?

Also, other than boullion, what can I consume while travelling on the liquid diet? All I can think of to do is bring bulllion. (I will be on a 3 day clear liquid diet.)

To bring to Mexico:

-Bathrobe

-Flip flops

-Pillow (will be able to throw away or leave there)

-Light blanket

-Boullion (for plane ride down there)

-Laxatives (what kind did you use??)

-A few light outfits (mainly yoga pants/capris)

-The usual toiletries (mini shamps/condish, soap, etc)

-Kindle loaded with TV shows, movies, books

-Neosporin

-Immodium

-Someone said bring pads for diarheaa....was that for real?!

-Compression stockings for air travel

Post Trip (have on hand at home)

-broth

-Jello

-SF popsicles

-Protien shakes, powder

-Mini Blender

I can buy groceries for the puree and soft food parts...but am just trying to cover all bases. If you can't tell, I am a nuerotic planner and might be getting a bit nervous! :)

Much thanks!

@@staceytapia I will send ya a message :)

I live in Atlanta and I walked it the length of the airport. I figured since I was on the plane for so long, it was better to get my legs moving. I also went to walmart after leaving there but I am a pretty tough cookie. I didn't carry a purse though and my carry-on was a roller. I only needed help getting it down from the overhead compartment.

I brought my computer but honestly, I could've kept it home. I used my phone the majority of the time.

@@shizwiz - are you ready?? :D

@@LezzieLez I AM!!! I just found out that I have one more day of REAL food, so that is cool, too! I thought the 3 day liquid diet was 3 days before the surgery day, but I guess I am supposed to count the day of actual surgery? Which is weird, but oh well.

I am finishing up my packing tonight and getting on my plane in the AM!

SO MANY READYS!!!!

Good luck shiz wiz!!!
