You may wish to consider bringing whatever protein powder or ready made protein drink you can tolerate. With this you are ensuring you meet your protein requirements. Then you can try to eat a 'meal' once or twice per day. Food choices are hard when you're out on vacation. If you remember to chose high quality protein first and add good carbs as a bonus (veggies, fruit etc) you'll be less frustrated. One app that I find extremely helpful is Baritastic. (I receive zero compensation of any kind from the app developers). Have fun & let us know how things went!! [emoji254]

Defining moment was almost dying from sepsis from pneumonia, getting Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia at the young age of 59. I knew I'd never see my granddaughter graduate from high school or college.

Stalls are normal. Everyone is different with caloric needs. Try not to weigh daily. It could be you are building muscle with working out and may notice inch loss more than weight loss. Keep going! [emoji254]

Great job! Your surgery date was the same as mine. [emoji254]

Excellent advise! [emoji254]

Yep I can relate to the experience of eating more than able. I bought a "healthy" 1/2 sandwich, even had them hold 1/2 of the bread. Took 4 bites while waiting for my Dr's appt. and as soon as those bites hit my stomach I immediately had to vomit them up. That was an eye opening episode that I hope to never repeat. Thank you for sharing your experience! [emoji254]
