Nervous on vacation!!!! Help!!!

I'm on vacation with family and struggling. I've lost nearly 100 pounds since my surgery in June. Meals are costing way too much on this trip!! The touristy areas will not accommodate my dietary needs. The portions are big and expensive and there leftovers are going to waste!!! I think I may start packing my lunch and dinner before we head out for the day? Thanks, I needed to talk through that.

Good idea since I am already having low BP probs!

Yea I remembered that from another post of yours. You should be able to find Gatorade there if you have an issue sneaking in the peanuts but I say if your gonna have calories it may as well be protein if it can.

I agree, plus I am not a huge gatorade fan. But will drink it if needed.

I think that in such cases you need to forget about the fact that it is a little expensive as you think because you are on vacation. In addition, there are a lot of places at a normal price and with a good choice of food.

If thr portions are large, ask if someone will share with you. Maybe you eat some of their protein/veggies and you buy them desert.

Maybe there is a kids meal that you can order or appetizer.

My husband likes to eat out, so I have been watching what I eat (my surgery is Oct 11th) and giving him more than half of my food or taking it home. I order steamed veggies as a side or a salad. I'm sure things will change after surgery.
