Disney World

Hi guys!

Am planning a trip to Epcot in May. Will be 1 month post-op.

Is it hard to make good choices there?

Any idea best place to eat in the park?

If your program is similar to my own you will be on soft foods. Both WDW and Disneyland have excellent options for people who have had bariatric surgery. There is Piccolo Pete's at the Magic Kingdom. You can get refried Beans or tortilla Soup without the strips. They have yogurt parfaits but you have to be careful with those as they can contain quite a bit of sugar. If you have advanced to regular food they have lots of awesome options including quinoa and lean chicken meals plus salads. Lots of fresh fruit. They also offer a pomegranate lemonade made with Splenda which is 5-15 calories per serving. I love it. If you are staying at the resort each one has there own dining areas and convenience stores and many healthy options. They carry Dasani and Vitamin Water Zero in the park. I did take some Protein Bars to supplement. Even a few shakes. I took my pedometer and walked over 70 miles while I was there. It can be quite humid and you will be sweating so really be on your hydration. I was very happy and relieved with their options. If you happen to not feel so swell they even have medical centers at each park. It was one of the best vacations of my life. Just listen to your body. If you need to take a break then take a break. You can even pull up the menus for each quick service and dining room online and pre-plan. You will have a blast!!

Most of the Disney parks allow you to bring food and drink also. I'm going to Disneyland about 5 weeks post op as well. We're staying at a residence inn (comforts of home hotel) and I'll be able to bring my own foods just in case I can't manage to find something in the park that's ok to eat. You can research online what all the different eateries in the parks offer.

Good luck and have fun! Went to Disney World about 3 years ago and it was incredible.
