Nantucket- Island vacation,, What to bring to save some money,



Recommended Posts

Hey loves,

I am able to eat any type of Protein as long as it (moist)- hate that word, haha!

All I can think of is tuna in those packets- mixing an oil rosemary dressing

Bringing Protein powder and shaker but need more ideas.

Please help me I don't want to be buying out 3 meals a day. I want to buy dinner and thats really it. My stomach can fit such little food I don't want to spend money on wasted food.

No MINI BAR/ Fridge at inn... what the f**k!

You can buy little cans or packets of salmon, sardines, herring, trout, oysters, crab, shrimp, octopus -- all sorts of seafood! And there are pouches of chicken and turkey as well.

Is it possible to bring or pick up an inexpensive foam cooler or even a soft sided collapsible one?...keep a few things in it with ice in your room? The foam coolers keeps the ice much better and typically doesn't leak.

I have a small soft sided insulated tote.....got it at a grocery store last month and it's cute.....I bring it to the office with my refrigerated RTD Protein shakes, have my wallet/phone in the outer pocket, and everyone assumes it's a purse, and it comes in different sizes, and there are some that just look like a tote bag.

<gag> Little known fact about me, often exploited by my baby brother...I hate that word, too. ;)

Beef or turkey Jerky isn't too dry for my tummy, not sure if you've tried that yet. I would probably be bringing a little insulated cooler/lunch bag with me for cottage cheese in individual cups, string cheese, that kind of thing. Or ask the hotel if there's some way you can get access to a fridge, as you have special dietary needs.

I like the Starkist lunch to Go packs with low fat mayo and relish packets. It comes with a "bowl" and spoon, I toss the crackers.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
