Let's share all our sophomore experiences, our angst, our struggles, our suggestions--let's talk about life! Let's become friends! You can be on any kind of food plan, do any kind of exercise or not, be gay or straight, engage in cardio or not--you just have to be in the "tweener" stage post WLS.

Not a Newbie but not yet a Vet - Sophomores have different challenges and are coping with an awkward middle stage, so please only post if you've passed the six month post-surgery mark!

On it - two weeks in March. Most of the tabs on my computer are excursions and hotels.

Might be too far away, might need to schedule one next month.

Aaaaargh!

... Just dive deep on the planning, map out recommended restaurants, put together budget spreadsheets, read travel forums!

Meanwhile, I literally threw out my 15 year old kimono the day before you got yours. I don’t know what that means, but it’s weird.

This is a significant factor in my “how to alleviate boredom” outlook. Plan trip, maybe book other trip, lure in paramours.

I search for museums, Jewish & African quarter, nightlife, metros, weather predictions (I backpack), markets, exchange rates lol

I just missed a sale to Forteleza, pissed.

Anyways, I don't know what did it or why it is exactly but restriction is back in effect!!!!!!

@Orchids&Dragons I have been waiting longer between eating and drinking like I said I would try, but also no straws again, no sliders, not eating past my very very subtle done signal,, no protein cookies, IF...

just plain luck???

IDK, but I'll take it

I agree, take it!

@sideeye What about a vacation? I enjoy vacation planning almost as much as vacations themselves.

I just booked our 11 day cruise for December 2019 to celebrate our 35th anniversary. I LOVE planning shore excursions, reading about ports (this time Cartagena, Curacao, Aruba, Bonaire, Grand Cayman) and it drives my husband over the edge. I do a spread sheet for our wardrobes (including shoes, bags and accessories) and he is not allowed to take Harley Tshirts anything without my approval. I really enjoy it and can't wait already.

Do you embark in Cartagena? If so, get there early and spend some time! I loved it there!

No we embark in Fort Lauderdale and have 2 sea days (sigh...) before Cartagena and only there for the day. We do have an overnight in Aruba so looking forward to planning that since we have never been there. Mr. is going to recertify in scuba so he can dive in Bonaire but you could not pay me to go that far under water.

At this point, I actually like less port intensive itineraries because we have so much fun hanging out on the ship and relaxing.

How are you getting to Lauderdale?
