Lost weight on vacation! A first



Recommended Posts

I am just back from a 5 day vacation. We ate out every meal. I tried to make semi wise choices but was far from perfect (do you hear margaritas??). I lost 4 lbs. I was shocked. I expected to be up.

I am beginning to like this band.

That's great! Perhaps it was an active vacation? I lose weight when we go to Disney.....all the walking. LOVE IT!

Great! I just did the same thing! I had a great time letting loose on vacation and thought for sure I would be upset when I got on the scale at home... I not only gave in to the margaritas, but the chocolate cake too! I was shocked to find out I was 5 pounds lighter when I got back! I guess I didn't eat as badly as I thought. I'm definitely thanking my band right about now!

Same for me. We were on vacation for over 2 weeks and lost 4-5 pounds. I ate TONS on vaca but we also walked a lot. I was so happy (and surprised) with the results.

sometimes it is good to shock your system and change things up. I went backpacking for 2 weeks in Asia last year and ate different things good and bad and lost 3 kg in 2 weeks. I couldn't believe it!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
