That's a great point about the vitamins, I hadn't though of that. Last year I did a 12 day Disney cruise around the British Isles and was able to find a pill case for all my regular meds, but now after surgery and all the added pills that is a problem lol. I thought that after this surgery I would have less daily pills to take, but now it seems I have twice as many. Enjoy Greece, that may be next years trip.

Will do! I've never been, so I'm sure I'll be trying a few different things on this trip.

Yumm! That sounds great. I'll add that to my list of places to try, thank you.

I'm flying to Paris then heading down to the south of France for 5 days. From there I'll be going to Amsterdam, Germany, and Belgium before returning back to Paris to fly home. I'm just at the phase where I can start eating chicken, so I too am now having more editable protein and then a premier shake.

Thanks for the info, I too will ask my NUT. It's going to be a little over 3 months post surgery, so I'm not sure if they will suggest the same advice.

I'm traveling abroad for the first time since surgery in a couple months and I'm trying to find out the best way to bring my protein powder/shakes with me. Not sure packing a huge container or small baggies with protein powder is a great idea. Has anyone had this issue and found good ways to travel with your supplies?

I miss Larry already, he was making me laugh

Wow everybody, you are all doing so GREAT! Keep up the strong work.

Weigh-in Wednesday. Surgery on the 22nd and I’m down 22lbs.

Amazing! [emoji3]

I like the idea. For me it helps seeing others progress to help keep motivated to work hard.

Haha, I totally understand that. I can’t stop sipping now. 1 More day in the hospital and then back to the real world.

Thank you! I was just able to have water/liquids for the first time today and wow that was like heaven!

You’ve got this too!

Well I survived and now starting day 1 of my new life. Hope you all are feeling good and positive. Thank also for tips for the post-op!

Surgery day is finally here. Sitting in pre-op just waiting!

For sure. I just went on a walk yesterday and my icd (Implantable cardiovascular-defibrillator) almost triggered, so I'm hoping I won't have any complications post surgery with that.

I know that the majority of you who are post-op say walk, walk, walk but I wondering on how much you are walking, or do you just let your body tell you that’s enough?

Awesome! Thanks for advise,

Thank you. Glad to hear things are going smoothly for you. I hope I’ll be able to say the same.

Well good luck on going and hope it all continue to go well for you.
