Hi I'm Glenda, I lost 108 lbs on my own, then decided to have gastric bypass to get to my goal weight.

I'm so glad to join this group. I'm 3 weeks post surgery down 29lbs. I have problems getting my water and food in. I get so full so quickly. I'm afraid I'm not getting the proper nutrition.

My fear is my upcoming vacation I'm going to Costa Rica. I'll be 10 weeks post surgery then. Very apprehensive about how I'll manage my food. Help please.

Congrats on your WL so far!! Since you have problems just getting your water and protein in and filling up so quickly, doesn't sound like you should have any problems with eating just because you are in a different place. I just had surgery last Tuesday. Normally by the end of a long holiday weekend, I would feel miserable both physically and mentally after pigging out and drinking all weekend - I had absolutely no desire to eat or drink - it was awesome! I would make sure not to drink alcohol though, cuz any control you do need to maintain will likely go right out the window - lol! Enjoy your vacation!!
