Finding Vegas travel difficult and boring; hell this entire diet is same old, same old

Sleeved Aug 10, so whats that, eight or nine weeks ago. Absoutely no issues because I've been following the plan regarding to eating slow and stopping when I feel full. I have never ever felt nauseous or upchucked, which I believe is a blessing. My diet is extremely restrictive from what i read here for others. I'm basically allowed Protein, no veggies, no fruits and God forbid any carbs. I'm supposedly on soft, I rarely use a blender, I mush things up in my mouth. I'm sort of pickey eater, never liked cottage cheese and hate greek yogurt.

I've had a challenging 2nd month with two fancy weddings and a vegas trip which I'm still on. My cheats have been twice I had regular light and fit strawberry yogurt, once I took a vegetable foo young and carefully sliced the fried top and bottom off, and last night for my daughters birthday, I had an ounce of really delicious red wine. Other cheats, I took a piece of cantaloupe with my egg yesterday, I also had to buy a grocery chicken salad in a pinch which had onions and had no issues. While I get my protein in, usally with the help of a Premier shake daily and genpro in my morning coffee, I eat pretty much the same thing. An egg or sometimes two for Breakfast, turkey and cheese roll up and chicken. Lord, is it getting boring. When home I'll cook up the ricotta bake. I know there are so many recipes out there and I promise to try more during October when I'll be able to cook at home each day.

My daughter is pushing me to eat at a buffet tonight before we see our Cirque show. ugh. Although I can probably pick a nice piece of seafood from the buffet I'll be paying $60 for. lol I actually sat with her with a glass of Water at one buffet and it didn't phase me in the least, although sometimes, I am definitely hungry and my stomach lets me know.

Bottom line, I have no regrets, this is more just a vent. Too bad I'm not into cooking anymore (I'm 62). the traveling is just a little difficult. I had no issues bringing my turkey rolls ups onto the plane. I had put some ice cubes in a ziplock to keep it cold for my 8 hour flights.

I would get some Soup at the buffet, and the seafood.

The Soup will be a cheat as not allowed but I think I agree those are good choices. I cannot seem to get more than a couple of ounces in before I need to stop.

I'm looking forward to my NUT appt Thursday. Hoping since I'm doing well, she will approve me for soup and to introduce occasional vegetables and or fruit.< /p>

I LOVED the buffets in Vegas. There will be a plethora of things you could choose from. That being said, there is no way that I would ever pay Vegas prices for a buffet again, there is no way it would be worth the small amount I can eat. I would, however, take the money ($60) and treat yourself to some fine dining instead. Vegas has a great selection of fine quality dining available (steak, seafood...).

Just keep in mind, it's not always going to be this way. As things continue to heal up for you and you advance stages, you will be able to eat a bit more and feel more part of the crowd instead of a patient with food restrictions. It's hard for us at first when we feel like such outsiders. Also, it's new not having food be the complete center of our universe all the time. You learn to live with it, and even like it!

We purchase the tix4tonight mirage buffet coupon, $22.50. I can deal with that even if I only eat 4 ounces.
