Thanks for checking, Jane.... it's no big deal. I only use a couple of their products anyway. It IS good stuff, let me tell ya!

Terry, I can get B&B, but not at a discount. I use it and my salon sells it, if you need it. But again, not at Janie prices.

Speaking of which, I need to barrow some Shampoo on our trip. I want to carry on my bag and don't want to deal w/ 3oz of shampoo...+ conditioner.

my salon sells it too, Pammy.

I'll try to remember to bring some small bottles of shampoo/conditioner. I'll put it on the grocery list.

Michelle and I are checking luggage---we already discussed this!!! So we will have extra too---we will share with ya!

Jane---what I used to use was just a leave in conditioner, it may be what you are talking about---I don't know. My hair tends to get wierdly dry now if I am not careful of what Shampoo I use. I half jokingly told Rick, if I had cut out all the fried, and oil filled foods before, my hair would have been normal, as opposed to oily when I was younger!!!

Thanks Jane!

Janie, Yes you are. All liquids and this includes mascara and liquid eyeliner must be in a quart size ziplock baggy. Some airports have their own baggies, others do not. Deodorant, face cream, all of that MUST be under 3 oz or they will take it away! Sad but true. Now, if you check your bag, you can bring whatever and any size. But with me having to go take two flights to get to San Ant. I am going to carry it w/ me and not take any chances.

Thanks for the shampoo and cond. I have a 3 oz bottle of Bumble and Bumble leave in spray!!!

wooohooo!

Michelle and I arrive within minutes of each other. So we conferred over checking luggage. I have a direct flight, so I am not especially concerned....and if you guys end up looking at me wearing the same exact clothes for 3 days---so be it!!!!

They also rejected my Dad's pill taker thing at the airport! He takes several meds, ao he uses one of those weekly pill containers. They refused it! They told him it is their discretion! He said to them he could open his shirt and show them his open heart scars---they siad the pills needed to be in a prescription bottle and they usuall allow no more than 7! OMG they acted like they were God! I ended up coming home, and overnighting Dads meds to my Uncles house!

I think he said no more than one quart bag per person--no writing on the bag. And only 7 items of under 3 oz. each in the bag.

So....if you have any questions about items, go to the website and check into the legalities. Dad found out, he could have had his meds, he just had no idea how to handle it other than to get agitated!!

Wait, you guys are showering on this trip? I thought we were goin' au natural, and bathing in God's river? :lol:

I got a letter from my flight info, thought it was a change in schedule, but it's a change in policy. You now have to PAY for every checked in bag, if it's over '1'. So 1 bag. Luckily, I travel light. I might have raised hell. Although, now I gotta fit your goodies in my bag, and they aren't small. Hint # 2 :crying: And Kity, you get a special one. You'll see why! :crying:

I just scheduled to have my tooth pulled out, it's going to be exactly 1 week before our trip. I haven't had a tooth pulled in so long, anyone know if 1 week is enough time to be back to eatin spicy food? I want some tex mex!! :smile:

Laura---my stuff I am bringing is smaller than I had anticipated----but I had discussed with Terry about mailing the box of my presents to her, and let her bring it---so I would not be stuffing my suitcase....she was willing....so you might think about that.

A week, should be ok, but chips and salsa will likely be a no go.....I still have to be careful with chips in my old tooth socket--or wear the torture device.

I cannot form a thought today. And I have a feeling I just antagonized a new complications poster on the board--I just really wanted to tell him to take a flying F#*@!!!!!!! What has me in that mood??????? OMG!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
