In less than 2 weeks my family and I will be in Disney - Orlando for 8 days....staying at a nice resort on the mono rail line....

My family elected me to make the dinner reservations for everyday we are there....they still consider me the food connoisseur and restaurant junkie.

So that is what I have been doing...making reservations for some very nice places to eat...some of which are upscale "Signature" establishments.....

I find it very ironic and and somewhat amusing that I am doing this....actually enjoying myself.

I'm picking the better restaurants because they have the better quality food...no burgers and fries places...and definitely no "Buffets". That would be a waste of money. And just like at home, there is nothing very band friendly at fast food places, other than ice cream perhaps.

I have vacationed a few times since being banded, cruises, etc...where food and drink is abundant...and every time I put the band to the test...it works daily for me at home, why would a cruise ship or resort be different? Why and how would the band change? And every time the band has performed as expected...how could it be different?

I suspect, with the hot weather, walking all day long, plus we expect to be either at the pool or a Water park everyday, I imagine I am going to loose weight.....

One thing I need to consider is bringing some type of Protein supplements with me, in the way of powder or ready made drinks such as muscle milk or naked, etc.

Can't wait for vacation...I need it. Orlando here we come.

Have fun!! Sounds like a grand vacation!

That is so awesome! I live about 2 hours away from Disney and it has been very hot. I am going back once I hit my goal ... it's gonna be so different not lumbering around in the heat with all this weight, being able to walk around without running out of breath and being able to fit on all the rides! Congratulations on your weight loss and I will pray for blue skies ahead and hope you have a vacation of a lifetime!

They put a great person in charge! You can look out for your health, and theirs too!

At the same time you're in FL, I will be enjoying Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea! Much easier to negotiate food-wise because there are more limited choices. Too much choice is a slippery slope for me.

Have fun!!!!!!!!!

Go to down town Disney . Nice rest and great hang out places. House of blues best place I ate .

I have to agree the Fulton Fish House , Wolfgang Puck express, Raintree Forest Cafe, etc

I love Orlando...I go every year, this one was my first after the band and yes you will loose weight. I ate at all times of the day of course small amounts to avoid getting stock and I manage to loose 12 lbs. i recommend to go to Cracker Barrel their kids menu has the most wonderful grilled chicken with mash potatoes. Is what you can call a small plate. Of course is out of the disney resort, there is one in Route 192. Hey if you can don't miss Seaworld is the best park in the Orlando area. Enjoy and get a nice tan!
