In the next two weeks, I'm going on two vacations. Memorial Day weekend, for 4 days, I'm going to The Wharf in Orange Beach, AL and then 4 days later, I'm going to Seattle with a side trip to Victoria, Canada for, for 8 days. I just hit a milestone, 149 lbs, and don't want to screw up. I want to have fun and enjoy my trips, but I don't wanna backslide. I'm really just wanting some positive reinforcement!

Thanks, ahead of time for your encouragement and positive thoughts!!!

Have a great time!

All I can say from what you posted is that it seems like you will get a chance to do lots of walking and eat some great fresh seafood. I can't wait to be able to take a long walk on the beach.

Be sure a post some pictures.

Have fun, put Protein first and don't stress about it too much! Order appetizers instead of Entrees or split something. Take some stand by foods with you "in case" like shake powders or Protein Bars. You can do it!

It's a vacation--be active and make it about the experiences instead of the food, or just CHOOSE the occasional splurge and enjoy that--you can go full force again when you get home.

I lost over 2 pounds in Maui 3 weeks ago. Just walked a lot, and made sure I was eating the way I normally eat 90% of the time. If I knew I was going to indulge in some carbs or sweets or a Mai Tai or two (;)), I would just eat a little less dinner or lunch. Still had my daily Protein shake for Breakfast (we had a full kitchen in the condo) and brought Snacks like Jerky and nuts in case I wanted to munch. Easy peasy! You can do it! Oh, and keep that Water flowing!

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

      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! 😞
