It depends on your plan. I am 6 weeks and I can eat enough things that I can look almost normal eating, just small appetite.

I can eat eggs at Breakfast. I could eat oatmeal or something if I wanted, but I don't

lunch I can have salads at 6 weeks, so I could have a salad with a Protein and just eat the Protein first.

dinner, fish or seafood.

As long as you have a smooth recovery you will do fine on vacation. Just take some individual protein packets, and shaker. Make sure you drink Water all day.

I was gonna say, if it is an all inclusive resort that provieds delicious foods and drinks whenever you want, I would postpone surgery. OR, if you were going someplace famous for their foods, delay surgery. Since the place comes with a kitchen and you have to prepare your own meals, keep your surgery date. Be very careful of the sun. You will be more sensitive to the sun and will have to hydrate yourself twice as the dr will recommend. NO ALCOHOL!!!!!! Hope you have a fantastic time!!!!

You will be fine! I am on vacation now with my family. I am almost exactly 2 months out. We have a kitchen but go out frequently. I made pancakes for my family today and wasn't even slightly tempted. I made egg whites with cheese for myself. Last night we were out and I had a cucumber salad and a burger patty no bun. On an island you should have tons of seafood options which are great post op. Enjoy!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
