Just back from a week in Orlando and St Pete Beach with my DH and DS. Had a great time, still horrified by the way I look in the photos, but I look better than i did before my band, that is for sure. I had a few problems eating out all the time--can't eat shrimp no matter what I do! Found a great restaurant called the Melting Pot, which serves fondue--we had a ball there, cooking everything and the food is all cut up in tiny pieces, so it was easy to keep track of what I was eating. YUM!
So, I was nervous to go and wondered if I could function as well outside of my home environment--it felt great to lay in the sun, walk on the beach, etc....We traipsed around Disney World in searing heat and I never felt like I was going to die (like I think I would have with my pre band self). Acutallly wore a pair of shorts!
So, now we are back, it's MINUS 9 degrees here and I have a mountain of laundry to get done!
