Okay so my husband is taking me to Vegas in a week for vacation. I am a little nervous this is my first vacation since being banded in December. Also, I had a fill a week ago and am having a lot of restrictions.

Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

I am ecstatic that I am skinnier then before and can wear a few dresses while there, but I am still nervous about what and how to eat while there.

Oh...I don't think it's nuts to unfill.....and I looooove Vegas and would definitely consider it if it was an option. I'm still a newbie, though, I'm not sure I'd trust myself enough to get right back to the doc for a refill at this point :thumbup:

And, yes, Arbor Day was in jest. But maybe President's Day wasn't? :thumbup:

Oh, I know you were kidding! I love your sense of humor, Enchanted!

Im new at this fill/unfill thing but Im sure Ill catch on: ) I dont see anyone as weak except myself, which is hard to admit and not pretty. Seems I must fall on the "cupcake sword" every morning. I will be going on many trips this summer w/fill. I deal w/ guilt and fear issues concerning food. Love/hate relationship and really just want a truce w/it . I may be in over my head--fill/unfill--dunno :thumbup:

patches:)

Okay so I made it through. It was a little tricky trying to find out what I could eat. I know hotdogs go down easy, so for lunch and while we were out walking I would get a hot dog and not eat the bun.

Now for the buffets, I still had to pay full price, I even talked to the manager and showed her my lapband card. she stated even if I only entered and did not eat anything I would still ahve to pay full price. SO we only did the buffet once. After that we just ordered off a menu.

My husband and I would decide on what we wanted and he ordered it all for him and I got a second plate and ate off of his. If he ordered a salad I ate a little bit, he ordered shrimp and I ate a few pieces.

I think it worked out wonderfully. And with all the walking (because the weather was in the 80's) I think I lost quite a bit of weight. I think I am going to the doctor in a week or two.
