WHO STOLE THE SCALE and other challenges on vacation.



Recommended Posts

I'm on vacation in Europe on a river cruise and have been weighing myself every few days on the gym scale (bathroom type). An hour ago I get there and it's missing. Grrrrrr. They say a passenger must have taken it back to their cabin. People can be so inconsiderate.

This vacation has been very challenging, mostly due to being bitter cold, (I'm a Floridian) walking great distances (this is a good thing though), and just unable to get nearly enough Water in while bundled up , cold and not thirsty.

Probably why I'm stalling rather than losing. I've been strong passing on pastries and bread, carbs in general. I admit to having a piece of Belgium chocolate now and then when placed in front of me. Glad I'm not a fan of Guell wine as they really push it. There are just so many sweets. I can tell I miss Pasta. I've had no trouble saying no thank you to it, but sometimes it's the only thing I like on the menu but I'm good to order a healthier alternative but feel deprived when others are eating pasta.

The positive about this, I can bet I would have put on 15 lbs during this 3 week vacation if not more if I hadn't been sleeved 4 months ago.

I look so good in my pictures. post-258580-14810077521475_thumb.jpg

Anyone else having challenges while on vacation.

I have challenges every Sunday and Wednesday at church. They eat every Wed night there and Sundays we go out. Normally not healthy restaurants either. Its a challenge. I try to eat just the meat and green veggies of they are available. Sigh and the Water. I never drink enough I'm never thirsty and liquids are uncomfortable. I'm 9 weeks out rny, but I love my clothes falling off.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
