I need your advice. I am 5 weeks post op and traveling to London for 9 days on Sunday. The friends I am traveling with do not know I had the surgery. We will be eating out for all of our meals. Is it going to be difficult for me to find food I can eat at restaurants? Currently I am on a soft solid diet. Mainly I eat fish, chicken salad, greek yogurt, low fat mozzarella cheese sticks, thinly sliced deli turkey, green Beans, cooked carrots and broccoli, lean ground beef and bananas. Any advice you can give me would help so much!! Thanks!!

You are coming to a developed country lol, we have all the same food stuffs that you can get in the States, just avoid KFC and McDonalds and you will be fine.

Seriously, everything you've mentioned is purchasable at supermarkets and/or restaurants.

Make sure you have food and drinks sorted for the flight, if you tell me where in London your going and what sort of price range restaurant, happy to give you some recommendations.

I tend to stick with the starter and sides on menus and you can always order off menu or ask for stuff to be added or left off.

It will be fine!

We will be staying in Kingston-upon-Thames but will be going into Central London to see all of the wonderful tourist attractions. I am so excited about the trip!!! I'm not sure about price. Maybe 20 - 30 pounds per person. The reason why I am so nervous is because I ate something last night that I should not have eaten and got so sick!!! I don't want that to happen in front of my friends since they don't know I had the surgery!!!

      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.
