Eat anything you want- just be mindful that you've come so far and you don't want to sabotage yourself. Save some money and don't order anything- just ask the person/people you are with to give you 1 bite of what they have. So, a bite of a hotdog, fries, ice cream-whatever is fine. But try to make good choices, of course. Water instead of soda or juice and veggies/protein instead of fried stuff.

Have fun in the sun! I've not made it to Myrtle this year, weird.

Hi, I just got back from Myrtle Beach last week. My hubby and i went and what worked for me was I let him order and I either ate a small portion of his (sharing can save alot of $$), or I ordered the Soup and salad. My hubby was very considerate and ordered things he knew I could eat. I ate broiled seafood (very good Protein source), Soups, veggies and mashed potatoes. So, maybe youcan talk whoever is going with you into shating with you. Good luck and have a great time. We go to MB about 4 times a year, so let me know if you have any ?s.

I was just wondering this myself! Except I usually go to Topsail NC, and it's like a 12 hour drive. I was trying to think of good choices at the fast food drive thrus we'd inevitably be going through

That's awesome! We looove North Topsail, been going since I was a kid. We're booking our home next week for 2010's vaca - we're serious about it lol

I'm a peds nurse and would love to move around that area sometime late next year. I know New Hanover hospital in Wilmington has recently opened a new pediatric unit in the hospital, but other than that I don't know of many pediatric hospital/units near the cost. My understanding is that the big places to take the kids are Chapel Hill and Raleigh?

I live in Carthage, which is an hour from from both Chapel Hill and Raleigh, and I too am a nurse. I am an LPN, working n my RN. If you want any suggestions, just let me know. BTW, as far as traveling, we ate at KFC and I ate mashed potatoes, slaw and corn. Ate at MCD's and had the parfait and a burger without the bread. Taco Bell, refried Beans. Subway, had them make me a sub without the bread (they put it in a salad bowl for you). If you have anyother questions, just let me know. My e-mail address is mmarsh4@yahoo.com, I aslo have a Facebook and myspace.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
