Road Trip For 2 Weeks! What To Eat?!

[2bfit 62]

Well, here's an update. I am a little over a week into my 2 week hiatus. Eating while on the road has been at times a bit of a challenge. I never realized how easy it used to be to just pick up some crackers, toast, bagel etc and go! Now I am doing all I can to get my Protein in while on the road. I am doing ok with my fluids but I do feel that I am not eating as well as I should be. Because I am on vacation I have had a nibble of a brownie and a nibble of dark chocolate. Not the whole thing mind you but just a nibble and that makes me feel guilty. I know I am still losing weight I just don't know how much because I am nowhere near a scale at the moment but I feel it.

I am on regular foods now that I am over 6 weeks out and I have found that nothing tastes the way I think it will. You know foods I thought I would want once I could eat again. The basics of the diet still taste the best. According to my nut I can slowly incorporate different foods now as long as they agree with me. But I am afraid! I feel like every choice I make is a bad one. Too many carbs, not enough Protein etc. I am doing my best but I am really ready to go home so that I can feel like I am more in control of my meals and menu.

Anyway, that's the long and short of it. I am definitely feeling the restriction and I am not gorging so that is a definite plus. I guess I just need some support from my fellow sleevers!

Aww, I am proud of you girl. You are doing well under the circumstances. My surgery is Tuesday and my family and in-laws will be taking a vacation when I am 4weeks out. I hope I can do as well. And don't feel too guilty over the nibble, that is the whole point of the sleeve. So you can still eat like a normal person, but in very small controlled portions :0)
