    Miss Rachel got a reaction from cindylynne in Vitamins   
    I use the Patches and I am good on all my blood tests. I just couldn't constantly take Vitamins. The Patches really works for me.

    I would opt for the tuna pouches. Maybe some turkey/cheese roll ups. If they allow you in the park with food. Or leave in cooler in car, good exercise walking back to car for lunch.

    Just so happens we are going to Disneyland tomorrow. There is a food 4 less about 2 miles away to pick up what ever you make your shakes with. Powdered Protein travels easy. I got individual packets to powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. There is very little you can eat 6 weeks post WLS at Disney restaurants, but you can get 2% milk at some venders. I will bring a shaker and packets of Condiments with me. And buy tuna in pop top cans, a pound of cottage cheese and a roasted deli chicken. Which will last me all five days, my kids will eat the chicken along with their crispy cream donuts.. there was a group on for Medieval Times so we are going there too. Can't wait to see
    What I'm paying $52.00 to not eat.
    Have fun!

    I have not been to Disneyland but went to Disney World a couple weeks ago. We ate out for most meals. My daughter (9) and I would usually split a chicken Cesar salad or occasionally a cheeseburger which I would eat with no bun. Also ate part of my husband's meals and never really ordered one for myself. I did not want to be carrying a bunch of food around while in the parks. I took strollers, bags, and tons of stuff for years so I am happy not carrying anything more than a small purse!

    I'm going to be 6 weeks out and already tolerate regular food. I know my limits and listen to my body. We are going to Disneyland for Christmas. It's a family tradition. Does anyone have any suggestions about what I can eat in the park?I have read a lot about Disney world and its completely different from southern California. We practically live in this park but I have never looked at it through bariatric eyes...

    Omg! I'm so glad to hear that not everyone is post surgical angels that become robots after surgery! I think if we do what is right 99% of the time we can be bad on vacation! How do you not eat in new Orleans?! I will go on vacation and make a mess out of myself and come home, repent and get back on track. You made my day!

    Miss Rachel got a reaction from Slim and Trim in Vomiting/Dry heaving   
    I have had nausea with this as well as my friend. We are surgically just a couple weeks apart. I asked for a scapolsmine patch, small doses of Ativan and I have an essential oil diffuser and I use lemon or peppermint essential oils and let them permeate the air. I was desperate to do anything that I could to rid the nausea. I'm a nurse so I know what to ask for. It has helped my friend and me and I'm so glad. I have also seen this combination work with my cancer patients.

    Miss Rachel got a reaction from laceemouse in When is it safe to eat pureed food?   
    I had mine Nov 7th and at Stanford it's protocol for the sleeve patients to be on liquid diet for 4 weeks, puree for 1 week, and soft for 1 week. It sounds like a long time but they created a new seem in your stomach and that is a lot to heal where as the bypass patients have less surface area to heal. My friend had her bypass 2 weeks before I had my sleeve at the same place and she is eating food already and I still hurt and can't imagine food yet...

    I would totally call your doctor. You should have never been able to leave the hospital without that scan. With how serious things can get you need to be evaluated

    Miss Rachel got a reaction from kmorri in I might be premature on this   
    I'm only going to travel when I can eat solids. Otherwise I will hurt myself and that would ruin all my hard work. I absolutely think that sharing food is responsible. Although, my boyfriend thinks it rude to the restaurant if I ask for a plate to share his meal. I think he has a lot of things he needs to get used to. I only see eating as a means to survive, not pleasure anymore. I'm hoping he will get used to this new way of life and start making changes to his diet as well, he is not thin and needs to lose weight too. Thanks for your advice. I'm so glad to have the support of everyone here.

    I use a Cbd patch made by Mary's. Some have been derived from hemp but the one's that have an extremely low thc dose and high cbd count helps with anxiety and pain.

    I'm a hot mess! A huge ball of anxiety. I say horribly inappropriate rude things to staff when I am like this. They just need to drug my butt when I get there. I am a nurse and was a Paramedic for years so I know everything that is going to be happening and I am totally OK doing it to other people, not having it done to me. I sound awful but I can't help it right now. Wish me luck and maybe the staff too. We will all need it.

    I have people who don't think this is a good idea and I could just diet and lose the weight. Here it is, this is your body and I'm going to say something not so nice, tell them to go f**k themselves. Until you can't make a decision on your own and have to have other people wipe your butt, you get to be your own person. You are doing what is best for you and congratulations on being your own advocate and taking a stand. You got this.
