While I have had great success post op, I am kind of in a slump. It is so cold outside (I am from down south, but live in Ohio now) and we are supposed to only get more snow in the near future. I haven't started walking like I said I was going to do because again, it has just been so so cold.

So I booked a trip to Disney tonight. :001_tongue: We leave in less than 2 weeks. I just needed a little sunshine and positive feelings about the future. I know I made the right decision and some days I feel fantastic. Other days-well, to be honest-most days, I just don't. I am not eating enough. I am not getting enough Protein. I have diarrhea and stomach cramping every.single.day. I am really working on it though. I want things to get better-I need things to get better.

I am hoping this trip will help me move to the other side of recovery. I know it sounds crazy-feel like crap? Take a big trip. But Disney *is* the happiest place on earth, right? :001_wub:

It will get better. If not you can come to TN and punch me in the face... Taking out aggression always makes me feel better = ].

DISNEY.... sooooo fun! one of the things on my list is planning a vacay soon whenever I am in the dumps. Plus I read somewhere that most food places in Disney allow you to get 'kid size' portions with your bariatric card (The one you get from your doctor)

From what I read and experienced, it's quite normal to be down in the dumps post wls. I went through periods like this as well. Planning a vacation is a great tool, but maybe you can find a therapist to talk to as well? I know the snow and cold can't be helping either. I was just talking to a friend today about how hard I would have it if I was trying to establish an exercise routine this winter because of the my dislike of the cold and just wanting winter to be over. Good luck and enjoy Florida! My husband and I will be heading down there in 6 weeks (I already have a count down going).
