Where and what do you have planned for the summer? Some have shared how extra planning helps on those times away from our regular routine.

I plan on taking Protein Bars on my outing. And my refillable water bottle.< /p>

I think airlines let you bring fruit also

( but not Hawaii) so I will attempt to plan ahead.

Share your vacation ideas ????

I flew Alaska when I went to Hawaii, and they offered a really nice fruit and cheese platter for like $7 that my husband and I split. Then I drank lots of Water on the flight.

We stayed in a condo that had a kitchen in Maui, so I stocked up on my usual stuff I use at home: Water, Jerky, nuts, even Protein Shakes (I still have one for breakfast). Worked out really well.

I walked a beautiful path every morning to make sure I got my exercise in. That was on top of swimming, shopping, snorkeling, etc....

The little bit of planning ahead worked. I ended up losing 2 pounds on vacation. I have never done that before :)

You can bring fruit..in fact any food is basically allowed on domestic flights. Not sure about international though. I'm going to London next month and have so much walking planned out that I don't expect to have any issues regarding overeating.

Unjury makes single serving packets that were a godsend on vacation. I keep them at work now, and use a small plastic Peanut Butter jar as my shaker.< /p>

This summer has been fantastic so far.

Went to a concert at an outdoor amphitheater in 102 heat. Lots of Water and pulled pork.

I have a wine run. Beautiful wine country vineyards to run past. Concert, food and wine tasting afterward at the winery (just good food choices)

Several gathering with friends -BBQ good lean meat and salad and fluids

Traveling - Mostly restaurants food. I pull up the menu's online before hand so I can make good choices.

Enjoy your summer everyone~!!!

      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.
