Hi everyone,

My hubby just told me today that he wanted to go to Disney world for the week of Thanksgiving. I love Disney World. I have had my band for 4 weeks. I am supposed to have my first fill Nov. 5th.

If I go to Disney what would I eat? We would have to eat counter service for finances and I can't think of any healthy options. Anyone experience anything like this> All help and suggestions will be appreciated. i also posted on food and nutrition board.

It's disney world! I'd just do the best I could...I'd chew chew chew, not snack, not drink with meals, but enjoy myself. Even counter service at disney often offers healthier choices....you can do it. Have fun!

There are healthier choices most places you go, just eat small portions. Take protein supplements with you in your purse, especially if you are going to do alot of walking and lots of water. Stay hydrated and protein fed. I don't eat many meals a day normally but when I am out travelling I find I eat more frequently making sure I get my protein in and in small quantities which keeps my energy up. Ask your nutritionist for suggestions and write ahead to Disney World - they have reps that help with people with special needs who can offer suggestions.

The kids meals have applesauce and hamburgers.

When I was there this summer I was all about eating the bugers with out the buns. There are decent choices. Bring oatmeal for Breakfast in the hotel and Snacks that work for yourself.

Don't fret, look at it as a learning experience. OMG, have so much fun!

I'm so jealous!! We went to Disney last Oct, 2 months after my surgery.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

You can bring food and even a small soft side cooler into the parks. I brought water, crystal light packets, protein bars, nuts, fruit, oatmeal, etc.<o:p></o:p>

We stayed in a condo instead of a hotel so I had the benefit of a full kitchen to prepare breakfast and a few dinners.<o:p></o:p>

Food was the last thing on my mind while in the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:Street><st1:address>Happiest Place</st1:address></st1:Street> on Earth!!!!<o:p></o:p>

You will be fine. Just skim all the menus and choose the best option. I think you will find something everywhere.. I know I do.

Have fun and relax
