Tons of fresh seafood, and smoked salmon as well. Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon is a standard Breakfast offering, and pretty perfect for us, BPs.
Oh yeah - the salmon and fish here is tasty too!

Our Protein Bars are Fulfil and Carb Killa. You can get them at pretty much any supermarket like Tesco or Supervalu. You can also buy Protein Powder and RTD shakes from Holland & Barrets (they're all over the place).

The produce, meat, cheese here is pretty good quality. Beef that is grass-fed is normal here. You'd struggle to get non-grass-fed beef.

You don't need to tip in restaurants here unless you get outstanding service.

Most coffee places will have Skim milk or soy available (some, like Costa also do coconut and almond milk).

I'm trying to think what else might be helpful to tell you. I'm not in Dublin so I can't recommend any specific markets but is there anything else I can tell you?

We have Aldi and Lidl which are discount supermarkets but you'll get a wider range of products at Tesco.

Haha, we’re coming from Minnesota so anything above freezing is delightful weather! Also, when we first looked at the forecast it was supposed to be pouring every day and we’ve only had one brief and light drizzle so far, so we’re delighted! Hoping 50s and cloudy holds for today’s trip to Giants Causeway!!

Oooh they're supposed to be spectacular! I'm jealous, I've never seen them. Have you done a hop-on hop-off bus tour in Dublin? That's good fun!

Haven’t done a hop on hop off bus tour in Dublin, we’ve been doing a lot of walking around the city since most things were closed our first two days here for Christmas Eve and Christmas. This morning we’re heading over to Kilmainham Gaol!

Quick question: are NSAIDS called something different here? Have a terrible sore throat and was going to stop by pharmacy to get something for it and want to make sure that I don’t accidentally take something I shouldn’t! Thanks!!

Not sure but I think the UK has the same or similar products to Aus. So what you should be looking for is paracetamol - possibly panadol or panado but there would be lots of generics too. Avoid the ibuprofen

Thanks! Got something with paracetamol after I let the person at the pharmacy know I couldn’t do ibuprofen/nsaids! Hoping it kicks in sooooon!!

Yeah paracetamol (Panadol is the brand name) is what you want.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

      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!!
