Vacationing All Inclusive Post RNY



Recommended Posts

I am 4 months post of RNY gastric bypass. I have healed well, and I am getting all of my Protein in. I am considering going on an all inclusive vacation with some girlfriends next month to Punta Cana in the Domincan Republic. I have had alcoholic beverages since surgery, but I sip. My concern is over the food and drinks. Ideally, I do plan on drinking but I am concerned everything will be sugary. I get dumping with high sugar. I'm sure I can be choosy with the foods.

Has anyone else done all inclusive post RNY, and if so what do I need to know? What issues did you encounter? What did you drink? Thanks!

Your safest drinks will be wine, or alcohol with a sf mixer, like vodka & soda w/lime twist or whiskey & Water.

^^Agreed. Also, I always, always mix my own drink. I'll order a shot of vodka and a glass of whatever I'm mixing it with. I usually start out with a half of a shot. There's nothing worse than getting drunk when you are just trying to "feel good" or getting drunk in an environment that isn't appropriate like a nice dinner.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
