Where and what do you have planned for the summer? Some have shared how extra planning helps on those times away from our regular routine.

I plan on taking Protein Bars on my outing. And my refillable water bottle.< /p>

I think airlines let you bring fruit also

( but not Hawaii) so I will attempt to plan ahead.

Share your vacation ideas ????

I flew Alaska when I went to Hawaii, and they offered a really nice fruit and cheese platter for like $7 that my husband and I split. Then I drank lots of Water on the flight.

We stayed in a condo that had a kitchen in Maui, so I stocked up on my usual stuff I use at home: Water, Jerky, nuts, even Protein Shakes (I still have one for breakfast). Worked out really well.

I walked a beautiful path every morning to make sure I got my exercise in. That was on top of swimming, shopping, snorkeling, etc....

The little bit of planning ahead worked. I ended up losing 2 pounds on vacation. I have never done that before :)

You can bring fruit..in fact any food is basically allowed on domestic flights. Not sure about international though. I'm going to London next month and have so much walking planned out that I don't expect to have any issues regarding overeating.

Unjury makes single serving packets that were a godsend on vacation. I keep them at work now, and use a small plastic Peanut Butter jar as my shaker.< /p>

Let's see they have concerts in the parks out here in California so I will be dancing my rear end off lol , that will be some exercise & walking of course , also catching up with some High school friends at dinner parties & at the beach which I don't care for , also going out to some dance clubs & since the Holidays started in I say April till December , I will be working a lot , so being busy & trying to budget finances since I really don't know how to but have to now because some of my family have had cut backs in their hrs & pay so it's time to bear down & not be so frivolous , I also have to buy either shorts & a tank top or try & fit in to a one piece bathing suit that one I am dreading , haven't had to buy a suit in like 6 years ,

This summer has been fantastic so far.

Went to a concert at an outdoor amphitheater in 102 heat. Lots of Water and pulled pork.

I have a wine run. Beautiful wine country vineyards to run past. Concert, food and wine tasting afterward at the winery (just good food choices)

Several gathering with friends -BBQ good lean meat and salad and fluids

Traveling - Mostly restaurants food. I pull up the menu's online before hand so I can make good choices.

Enjoy your summer everyone~!!!

      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!!

      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... :(
