What will I be able to eat at Disneyworld parks?



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I am hoping for some tips on what I can eat at the Disneyworld parks over the thanksgiving week.

I will be 5+ weeks post op at that time, so according to my docs eating requirements, I will be on "soft foods". I am on mushies now and doing great!

Thanks for your help.

Disneyworld has every food you can think of so as long as you pick healthy things you will be fine.......... which may be hard because they have lots of yummy bad stuff lol

disney is very good about accomodating special diets. either ask to speak to the chef at any restaurant (including counter service) and they will make you what you need how you need it. or you can email specialdiets@disneyworld.com ahead of time and talk to them about it.

i have done this numerous times for my gluten intolerance and they have always been responsive.

i will most likely be up there thanksgiving weekend and i will just be starting mushies around then!

also it might help to go to allearsnet.com under their dining link they have menus for both table service and fast food locations but if you haven't made reservations for table services now for ur thanksgiving(this year) trip u will not be able to walk up to a table service restaurant and get seated as that week is one of the busiest of the year there i would suggest bringing some Protein shakes as a backup plan i go at least twice a year and last time i went was the first time with the band i had a fill 3 days before leaving so i sort of rushed through the liquids and that was the worst idea! i couldn't keep most things down but this was because i had not followed my surgeons instructions

btw if u end up at any of the buffets go to guest services at the parks and ask for a GAC pass saying that u had bariatric surgery allowing u to only eat about a cup of food so u should only be charged the child's price

good luck and have fun!

I went when I was about 4 weeks out from surgery. I had just went to soft foods and I did fine. You will do fine.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
