Approval and Vacation

[candis314 0]

Finally got approved today. Due to timing, it looks like my surgery is gonna be about a week and a half before my Christmas vacation in Disney World. Now I'm concerned about if I'll be up for the trip, being less than two weeks out. On top of watching my family eat all of the yummy Disney food & I'll prob still be on liquids. It's always something.

I don't think I could have done more than half days at Disney at a week and a half post op. If you do go, make sure you have an exit strategy for each day -- how you are going to bow out and get back to your lodging to rest if needed. Good luck!

Congrats, enjoy your vacation. I'm sure you will keep up with your liquid diet. Just think that when you return you will start a new beginning.

You will not be up for it and you'll ruin it for your family. Watching your family eat will not be an issue as you won't be interested in food that early out and nothing will look yummy. Postpone or send the family off without you.

I'm one week out and take a nap a day. Disneyland I've been the food I could handle but walking on a diet that you will be on,that will be hard part. Using all your energy. I don't think you would be able ride the rides with your stomach. I can hardly go across the farm, being bumped around. I know it's a family trip but please do take care of yourself and rest when you feel like it. Good luck with your surgery. Take care of you.

I'm thinking I'm going to try for a date immediately after Disney. That way I'd be on the pre-op diet while there, but I'd still be able to walk and ride the rides.

I would try for 2 weeks after vacation ends if I were you. That you you can relax and enjoy. Not have to worry about liquid diet while on vacation and be tempted to cheat on it. The temptation is bad enough at home. Let alone on vacation.

Have fun and congrats on approval!!

I would reschedule my surgery until after you return .. Disney isn't a trip I wouldn't want to enjoy .. you will be tired grumpy hungry and unable to participate in anything

Sorry I read this wrong, if this is before surgery. It might be okay. I would say please stay hydrated and rest. Enjoy your time.
