Hi! I'm new to the forum. Just checking in because I'm starting to worry that my surgery is a fail. I will be 8 weeks out this coming Tuesday, July 19. Almost 40 lbs down. BUT...I can EAT anything. The only reason I know this is because we've been on vacation for 2 weeks. I drink tons of Protein drinks still, but because I'm so limited on food options, I just "try" a little bit of whatever. So far I've never dumped. Ever. And I even tried a tiny bit of a lemon bar last night at our hotel. I was amazed I could tolerate the little bit of sugar. But now I'm freaked. I don't want to tolerate sugar. Is something wrong with me? I even tried a chicken strip and had like 2 French fries. Ugh. Please be kind. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Only 8 weeks out....you should probably still be on pureed to soft foods as tolerated. Sent from my SM-G800R4 using the BariatricPal App Oh I do only eat soft puréed food. Mostly Oikos triple zero Greek yogurt, but while on vacation I've "tried" other stuff. Emphasis on tried. Like I said, because I can't find any good food while on vacation, I've been drinking and mostly surviving on premiere Protein Drinks. When I said I tried a chicken strip, I didn't eat the whole thing. Tried. Also had 2 French fries. 2. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you again, Cervidae! At home I totally eat everything you mentioned and I'm very strict with what I eat. But while on vacation, I struggle to find appropriate foods. BUT! Tomorrow we're headed home. I just worry about stepping on the scale when I get home. I'm totally a routine girl and being out of my routine has been tough. Thanks again.

James, your response was super informative and helpful, thank you! Especially while on vacation I've been continuing to drink my premiere Protein drink (30g of protein), because I noticed before I left that I had hit a stall and I think it was due to not enough protein and Water consumption. So I feel good knowing that if I drink one a day then I'm hopefully getting close to my 60g. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yikes, Limesqueeze, that kind-of worries me. Did she successfully lose weight? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you, Cervidae! Part of the problem is my dietician said "no salads" until my 3 month appointment, and while on vacation and eating out, that really limits my choices! When did you guys start eating lettuce? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
