Traveling problems



Recommended Posts

Alright so I am two days into my Disneyworld excursion and I am finding it so so hard to get calories in. Water I am getting better at. My problem is it’s so hot and humid that I need to drink tons. I was told water was more important then food and with the whole 15/30 rule going 45 minutes without water multiple times a day that’s precious water drinking time. But I’m burning around 800/1000 a day with all this walking but only getting in 400 or so. That’s so so bad. I try to only eat food unless it’s super high Protein but I feel like as this point my body will start to go into starvation mode or something. Advice help more food ideas. I’m in soft stage and 7 weeks out.

cheese sticks or laughing cow spreads, peanuts or Peanut Butter, Protein Shakes. Carry with you everywhere

It's not forever and you can reverse starvation mode when you get back

But definitely stay hydrated

I don't want to hype Protein Shakes as we should get our Protein from natural sources that said, protein shakes will do two things for you; give you much needed protein and help with Fluid intake. The pre mixed shakes like muscle milk light and Premier Protein are very portable as well. Enjoy the vacation. Also as the above poster stated eat the cheeses as well.

Concentrate on the Water and get your Protein Drinks down. They also count as liquids!! It's WAY more important to stay hydrated under those conditions and more important to meet minimum Protein needs. 2 Premier Protein drinks per day gets you to the goal line of protein. Then you can eat a normal dinner. That way, you only have 1 episode of 15/30 for hydrating.

My RD told me that I do not have to use the 15/30 rule for Liquid Protein sources--only for puree, soft, and solid foods...

Have fun at the greatest place on earth!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
