_Kate_ 2,224 Posted December 6, 2015 So, we just got back from a fantastic holiday, nearly 3 weeks in Cuba. Beautiful country and the Cuban's were very friendly and lovely I have to admit that I was scared before going away, as I only had my sleeve on 23/07/2015 and was worried about getting enough protein/water and food I could eat/tolerate. Especially as the majority of the holiday was driving round the Island and I wasn't sure what we would be eating. I took 24 Protein bars and a bag of Vitamins and off we headed to the sun. I ate clean, well 97% of the time, drank Water and stuck to chicken and fish when I could. I was sick 4 times (ate to much or too fast, or had food that didn't sit well with the sleeve) but otherwise everything was okay. I had a small beer near to the end of the holiday and it made no effect at all! I was very disappointed that I didn't feel drunk (only kidding!) Jumped on the scales this morning and I am 5llbs down from before I went away. I was astounded as I felt I did eat a lot even though I stuck to the plan. I have NEVER EVER been on holiday and come back lighter than when I went. I LOVE my sleeve!

Kathy812 794 Posted December 6, 2015 I've heard quite a few people mention that they returned from vacation smaller then before they left. That's a win-win in my book (weight loss and adventure). Glad you had a great time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
