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>

Let's see they have concerts in the parks out here in California so I will be dancing my rear end off lol , that will be some exercise & walking of course , also catching up with some High school friends at dinner parties & at the beach which I don't care for , also going out to some dance clubs & since the Holidays started in I say April till December , I will be working a lot , so being busy & trying to budget finances since I really don't know how to but have to now because some of my family have had cut backs in their hrs & pay so it's time to bear down & not be so frivolous , I also have to buy either shorts & a tank top or try & fit in to a one piece bathing suit that one I am dreading , haven't had to buy a suit in like 6 years ,

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~!!!

        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
