Nantucket- Island vacation,, What to bring to save some money,



Recommended Posts

Hey loves,

I am able to eat any type of Protein as long as it (moist)- hate that word, haha!

All I can think of is tuna in those packets- mixing an oil rosemary dressing

Bringing Protein powder and shaker but need more ideas.

Please help me I don't want to be buying out 3 meals a day. I want to buy dinner and thats really it. My stomach can fit such little food I don't want to spend money on wasted food.

No MINI BAR/ Fridge at inn... what the f**k!

You can buy little cans or packets of salmon, sardines, herring, trout, oysters, crab, shrimp, octopus -- all sorts of seafood! And there are pouches of chicken and turkey as well.

Is it possible to bring or pick up an inexpensive foam cooler or even a soft sided collapsible one?...keep a few things in it with ice in your room? The foam coolers keeps the ice much better and typically doesn't leak.

I have a small soft sided insulated tote.....got it at a grocery store last month and it's cute.....I bring it to the office with my refrigerated RTD Protein shakes, have my wallet/phone in the outer pocket, and everyone assumes it's a purse, and it comes in different sizes, and there are some that just look like a tote bag.

<gag> Little known fact about me, often exploited by my baby brother...I hate that word, too. ;)

Beef or turkey Jerky isn't too dry for my tummy, not sure if you've tried that yet. I would probably be bringing a little insulated cooler/lunch bag with me for cottage cheese in individual cups, string cheese, that kind of thing. Or ask the hotel if there's some way you can get access to a fridge, as you have special dietary needs.

I like the Starkist lunch to Go packs with low fat mayo and relish packets. It comes with a "bowl" and spoon, I toss the crackers.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
