About to head off for an eleven day vacation with my husband, two "adult" daughters, and two teenage sons....... SHOULD BE INTERESTING!

I guess I'm writing this on this forum to help me COMMITT to doing the following......

1. Get to the gym at the resort four out of the six days there...... for a 45 minute cardio workout before heading to the amusement parks..... Why?

I have MORE ENERGY for the day on the days I work out.

2. Carry in my backpack: Protein Bars, individual bags of nuts, and Water bottles.< /p>

3. Share lunch and dinner options with my husband and/or kids, instead of ordering a whole entree, and not being able to take home the leftovers.

4. Take a bite or two off of my kid's daily buy of Micky Mouse Ice Cream bars, and not devour two or three a day on my own.

5. Take a vacation from myfitnesspal, and NOT log in on a daily basis, knowing that my trusty band won't let me overeat anyway.

6. Start my beach days off with a long walk and end my beach days with a long walk along the beach.

7. Enjoy being able to walk the parks, get on and off the rides, and take pictures with the kids, w/out the burden of the extra 125 pounds of weight I

had on my body the last time we did this trip.

8. Walk around the water parks in my size 12 bathing suit WITHOUT WEARING A COVER-UP ALL DAY.

I'll let y'all know how it goes........ YIPPPPEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!

@@HealthyNewMe have a WONDERFUL time on your vacation!

I just made a post every similar in regards to what I have to do to stay on course this summer, meaning modification and game plans. I wish I would've done what you just did and mapped it out BEFORE this weekend!!! I winged it and learned I just can't do that!

Again, have a wonderful time and enjoy every minute of it!!

      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.
