Choices on Vacation?



Recommended Posts

Hey Penni,

I was just talking to my husband and threw in a casual, "Hey, you wanna go to Jamaica in August?". He said, "Heck ya! Let's go."

That was easy. I've never been, but it sounds like fun to me. Shall I start researching package deals? :)

Our family's worst vacation was in Jamaica. I guess that it depends where you are. We had a house overlooking a golf course in Ochos Rios. My husband is an international businessman and a Marine-he is pretty much comfortable anyplace. My daughter was assaulted at the falls. We were shook down for money at the same place. While we were driving back to our house, rocks were thrown at our car.

My good friend is Jamaican. They are good hardworking people.

And then we drove down to Negril-completely different. But be very careful in the tourist spots and away from the tourist spots.

i have been to negril for the past 3 years. and can't get enough! i love that place. it's true though, that you have to keep your eyes peeled. i live in new york, so i guess i'm used to it. but the people are wonderful, the food is wonderful and the beaches are beautiful. if anyone goes to negril, you gotta check out 3Dives Restaurant. it's on the side of the road between the rock house and xtabi.

but definitely let a girl know about any LBT Jamaica excursions!

      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.
