    Take Protein bars with you. Keep them with you at all times. If you're on deck by the pool and you're hungry, the temptation will be lower to go in to the buffet than to stay where you are and snack on a Protein Bar. Also, take fruit with you on sight seeing trips. You can pick it up at the buffet on your way off the ship. Water, Water, water.
    Remember, this is vacation. So enjoy yourself. Have realistic expectations - maybe think "I won't lose weight this week, but I also won't gain". You'll be walking a lot. Maybe try to take the stairs instead of the elevator whenever you go anywhere on the ship. Most ships have tracks and/or fitness rooms so you can exercise while on board.
    Eat slowly, thoughtfully, and don't overdo it. You're going to do great!

    I usually used airborne or alka seltzer products, which are forbidden. What else can I use to relieve sore throat & coughing ??

    I had surgery Tuesday- had an endoscopy in January and no hernia was found. But Tuesday in surgery the doc found a small one. So there is no guarantee and honestly I wouldn't know the diff of recovering with or without the hernia repair. Recovery is miserable so far- one day at a time.

    I was sleeved on 3/3. Lost 15 pounds the 1st 2 weeks then nothing. I spend an hour at the gym every morning Mon-Fri... I weigh every morning 216 and every night 218. Been this way for 2 weeks. Grrrr!!!

    I picked up a nice set of "baby" utensils, and I find that they really help! That and smaller plates. I'll also be getting a hourglass sand timer (30 minutes) and make sure I use that time to consume each meal. It's hard, though, especially when you're only having 4oz of broth.
    Be well…

    Download an app called Eat Slower for your phone. You can set it to chime when you should take a bite.
