Vacay question



Recommended Posts

I wasn't sure where to post this, so here goes...

I'm just 6 wks out and took a mini vacay close to home for the 4th. Now....any food suggestions when traveling (across country)? I'm going to visit family in a couple of weeks and will be in a rental car traveling around during a those 2 weeks; staying a couple of days with one, a couple with another until I fly home at the end of the month. Help! I don't feel I was a successful this past weekend as I could have been. My activity level as good, but food was a mess. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I've been able to get most of my Protein from food with minimal coming from shakes. So...any ideas out there? Thanks!

I travel on weekends alot and what works for me is a small cooler packed with some essentials, greek yogurt, cheesesticks, chicken breast chunks (I don't mind it cold) and then I have recently become addicted to Cocoa dusted almonds, that are great and have some Protein, also boiled eggs are good if you like them, hope it helps and enjoy your vacay!

I am almost 8 weeks out and my husband was just in the hospital and of course, only eating 3 ounces at a time, the cafeteria had a salad bar, which had diced meat, cheeses, cottage cheese, so I was able to pick and choose out of that...if all else fails you might want to give that a try.

I just got home from a week plus vacation and packed a small cooler. We ate out nightly and I'd get chicken, etc and had ziplocks on hand to put leftovers in cooler for next day's lunch. Cottage cheese, cheese sticks, unsweetened applesauce, boiled eggs do travel nicely.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
