So I just returned from a 10 day vacation in Disney and visiting family in Florida. I was worried how I would do with eating out and all that! While I didn't always make the best food choices, I am proud of myself!! I came back and lost 2 lbs. I really tried hard and didn't feel like I missed out on anything! Even at the buffets in Disney there are healthy choices, I sat at the table and drank Water and coffee while everyone got there first dish. When I finished drinking and waited some time I went and got my food - while most everyone was on their second plate! I scheduled things for us to do everyday that were healthy! Had a wonderful time and my feet didn't hurt after walking around all day. I enjoyed every minute of have less weight on me! 4 more pounds until I am under 300lbs for the first time in years. I am so happy I started this Lap Band journey. It really is a wonderful tool to help you on the right track to losing weight and getting healthy! Have a wonderful 4th of July everyone!

Congratulations! Your story gave me the 're' inspiration I needed today! I am 7 days post band,,being completely grossed out drinking Protein shakes...underlying nausea, dull port pain...so thank you for reminding me better days are ahead! Losing weight at Disney is a great accomplishment!

Congratulations. I am going on a 4 day cruise at the end of the month and I am determined not gain weight. It can be done if you think before you react.

That's awesome-- I'm headed to an all-inclusive in the Carribean and hoping I can manage not to have my first gain myself :) This is an inspiration.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
