Everyone recovery is different. I unfortunately wasn't one of the lucky ones that had a smooth recovery. I'm 6 weeks out and finally feel so much better. I had a lot of nausea to the point where I would vomit and ended up in the ER twice for fluids. Even though I'm better, I don't think I would have the energy for Disney.

I would think you should be good to go then. At five weeks I was on regular food, so you should probably be on regular food and your energy levels should be good.

it's really hard to say since everyone recovers differently. At 5 weeks out I was cleared for all foods and with that my energy was starting to come back. I can only speak for myself, but at 5 weeks I felt fine. But disney does involve lots of walking and lots of yummy foods. If you are cleared for all foods by then I would say go enjoy your trip and enjoy tiny bits of all the yummy stuff but stop and sit for a little bit every now and then

Yes look at your food plan....what stage will you be in at 5 weeks?.....Once I was on real food I was feeling back to normal.....I'd say you'll be fine by then as long as you're eating normal food.

You can always talk with your nut. I know soft food is limited but it is still way more normal than liquid!

I too will be headed to vacation on cusp of my scheduled change to "full" food stage, she told me to just discuss timing and I made my six week post op appointment now with that timing in mind.

My husband and I went away right around my 5-6 week

mark and although I got tired easy I was fine.

Keep up your Water intake in the Florida heat, especially with all the walking.

There has been a couple Disney post lately with some great tips on food choices exc. search for Disney and they should come up :)

Yes so much better! I ended up in the ER got IV fluids and Vitamins and the nausea went away. I can now eat and drink with no problems and losing weight is definitely a plus . Being sick for over a month left me very weak but I started walking and I'm beginning to get my strength back.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
