Super hot weather advice



Recommended Posts

Hello. I am 7 months post op sleeve and am traveling to texas for vacation next week. It's supposed to be over 100 every day I'm there. I plan on getting lots of Water immediately off the plane and there will be A/C in most places. Wondering how anyone deals with the extreme heat and stays hydrated enough?!

And use a straw!!!

I love the heat. I love the beach, I love sitting in the sun, in fact, I spent yesterday turtling (laying on a river rock soaking up the heat like a turtle) and enjoyed every moment of it.

WLS does not mean you have to change your activities. You changed the shape of your stomach, not the shape of your future. Well, you did, but in a positive way!!

Carry Water at all times. Invest in a great insulated cup you love and don't worry about cost. Drink G2 if you stomach it, I can't -- I mix Gatorade and Water. Cut your sodium intake. Beef Jerky is not your friend in the heat if you have a hard time getting in fluids.

SF Popsicles, Italian Ice, watermelon, grapes, high water foods are great treats!

Wear your sunscreen and have a great time!

I live in Texas and every year I think I will not survive it and yet I live to face another summer! Water - drink it, swim in it, etc. Every place has A/C so enjoy that but if you aren't used to it, you might bring a light sweater. Some people (foreigners we like to call them ????) get cold when they move from the heat to A/C so much. Enjoy! It is a great place to be. Unless you are going to Houston. Miserable place if you ask me ????

I lived in TX and now live in FL so I know hot. Not much you can do about it other than drinking a lot of Water, popping inside to cool off in the A/C any chance you get, and in TX, get yourself a Bill Miller Tea Bucket to keep full of ice and Water ;)

I'm in Houston, we haven't hit 100 yet...it's not that hot. Right now it's 81... you don't have to worry about 100 degree heat until July/August.

      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
