Just found out something really good. My family and I are heading to Disney soon. If people get a card from their doctor re gastric surgery, they can qualify for kids' food rates at buffets and allows people to order off the kid's menu at other places. I called my doctor's office and they said yes it was true. So keep that in mind if you're heading there!

But how many healthful choices are on a kid's menu? Which Disney? Disneyland or Disney World? At Disney World, there are some places in Epcot that have healthful food.< /p>

Disney World. There are healthy items on a child's menu. Some things might need to be modified a bit, but it's the idea of smaller portions that make it worthwhile to me. When at Disney I certainly can't take half of my adult meal home. Plus, any way to save costs appeals to me!

Yep, my doc gave me a few of these cards when I left the hospital. I need to put one in my purse, but thought it was cool for any time at any restaurant. Although since my hubby had RNY 3 yrs ago most likely we will order one entree and just share it. But, at times when he is not with me it will be nice to order smaller portions.

Have fun at Disney....that is on my 40 to 40 list (40 things to do before I am 40, 4.5 yrs to go)

      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.
