Hi all,

I had my surgery 9/15. I'm feeling great and am pleased with my weight loss at this point in the game. This weekend I moved onto Stage 3, moist chicken, fish, scrambled egg etc. After weeks of Soups and yogurt I am very happy to be in this phase. My question to you is what and how much are you eating?

Hope you are all doing well!

Are you staying inside of Disneyworld?

Not specific to Disney. But I never had a problem sticking to my program when eating out.
appetizers became a meal. Shrimp cocktail is perfect.
Aim for things like lean Protein, chicken breast, fish, filet mignon, etc....and a small side salad without cheese or croutons and the dressing on the side. Just dunk your fork before each bite.
Ask that things be prepared with little to no oil/butter/fat.
sauces on the side & dunk your fork before stabbing the food. You will get the taste of the sauce with few calories.
No potato, Pasta, rice, bread, etc....
If you can peruse menus online beforehand, there may be helpful nutritional info.
It's best to stick with whole protein as opposed to ground meat. Some places I've seen the turkey burger with FAR higher calories than a beef burger. Both options would be too high in fat.
If you see a sandwich that you want to try, ask that they leave off the bread and put it on a bed of lettuce.
Stick with the no liquid 1/2 hour before/after eating.
If people at your table are OK with no basket of bread/butter, that's a help.
Stay away from things breaded, fried, sauced, etc....
I still do all these things at almost 6 years out......
And.....have a wonderful time!!!

Hello all,

I just recently had my surgery, 9/15. Things are going great and now I'm starting to look towards future. We are going to Disney World in December, a little over 3 months after my surgery. Anyone have tips on how to eat out for a week straight? DW specific tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I had my surgery 9/15, and feel GREAT! I am down 29 lbs since I started my pre-op diet on 9/1. I am on Day 2 of Phase 2, so I've been eating non-fat cottage cheese, non-fat greek yogurt, sugar free pudding, Protein Shakes and strained low fat "cream of" Soups. No complaints other than some Constipation that I hope to resolve sooner rather than later. I hope you all have a quick and speedy recovery
