Just sharing my thoughts...first time traveling since I got my band just after 2 weeks. Hard to be around everyone snacking! I brought some food but couldn't possibly bring enough for three days so now I have to figure out how to get what I can eat. I didn't drive and I'm visiting my sister who lives out in the country so it's tricky! Not looking for answers just sharing with my fellow bandsters cause I know you'll understand! Going to my nieces wedding reception tonight and that will be another temptation but I'm afraid of straying from my diet so I know I'll behave! Just frustrating.

Eat before the reception. Stick to Proteins where possible. I wish you well. Traveling is hard. I always hit the local groceries for my food when I arrive. Enjoy yourself, that is most important.

I wish I could hit the store but my sister lives out in the country and there is nothing within a 40 min drive!

Soup. Stick with hearty Soup.

My favorite this on earth is stuff you can most likely find in her house and you can improvise on my recipe.

1 pack of ProtiDiet chicken soup mix

3 cups Water or chicken broth

2 chicken bullion not if you use broth.

1 can of canned chicken breast

1/2 cup chopped carrots

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup quinoa or pastina

Pepper.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
