I'm in a nice hotel and on vacation. I've been going out to eat for every meal and living it up a little, but the sleeve is still working and I'm not overeating at all.

A little demonstration of how this works:

Breakfast:

Ordered: cheese and mushroom omelet and an english muffin:

Ate four bites of omelet and one bite of english muffin

Water

Walk around museum, someone orders fried clam strips, I have one.

More water, Sobe LIfewater. When we get back to the room I have a Protein wafer bar.

More water.

Two ounces of cheese and four crackers.

Dinner:

Hot tea

Ordered: Outrageous appetizer, specialty small plate entree, flourless chocolate cake.

Ate:

One bite of appetizer

1/2 small entree

1 bite of flourless chocolate cake

back at the hotel, somebody orders nachos, I have a little more of that later, maybe six loaded chips.

So I got through the day fine, had fun, ate what was there, and probably ate about 900 calories. I'm not sick, my stomach doesn't feel overstuffed, I had plenty of energy. Can you believe anyone could be served a piece of flourless chocolate cake and eat ONE bite?

I know I could not. One bite and it would be all over. I would eat it til I got sick.

You are working your sleeve even on vacation and that is great! Life w/food after the sleeve and you are accomplishing it. Great Job!

Good for you!!! This is exactly why I need this surgery....as way to help me control my portions. Have a great time!

I'm on vacation too! I'm staying with a friend so I can bring home leftovers. Each meal becomes 4 meals! I love that in satisfied with just a taste now!

. I know, I'm not really "working" anything. This is easy. What's weird is watching *everybody else* and thinking good lord, where are you putting all that?

You are amazing. I can't even imagine eating like that on a vacation yet, but I love that the sleeve is working for you and that is totally a way of life now.

Isn't that funny how things change, I feel the same way when watching other people eat! gotta love the sleeve
