Any dinning advice for Disneyland in California?



Recommended Posts

I'm going to be 6 weeks out and already tolerate regular food. I know my limits and listen to my body. We are going to Disneyland for Christmas. It's a family tradition. Does anyone have any suggestions about what I can eat in the park?I have read a lot about Disney world and its completely different from southern California. We practically live in this park but I have never looked at it through bariatric eyes...

Just so happens we are going to Disneyland tomorrow. There is a food 4 less about 2 miles away to pick up what ever you make your shakes with. Powdered Protein travels easy. I got individual packets to powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. There is very little you can eat 6 weeks post WLS at Disney restaurants, but you can get 2% milk at some venders. I will bring a shaker and packets of Condiments with me. And buy tuna in pop top cans, a pound of cottage cheese and a roasted deli chicken. Which will last me all five days, my kids will eat the chicken along with their crispy cream donuts.. there was a group on for Medieval Times so we are going there too. Can't wait to see

What I'm paying $52.00 to not eat.

Have fun!

I would opt for the tuna pouches. Maybe some turkey/cheese roll ups. If they allow you in the park with food. Or leave in cooler in car, good exercise walking back to car for lunch.

I have not been to Disneyland but went to Disney World a couple weeks ago. We ate out for most meals. My daughter (9) and I would usually split a chicken Cesar salad or occasionally a cheeseburger which I would eat with no bun. Also ate part of my husband's meals and never really ordered one for myself. I did not want to be carrying a bunch of food around while in the parks. I took strollers, bags, and tons of stuff for years so I am happy not carrying anything more than a small purse!

When I was preparing for the surgery I bought a bariatric food case because we travel a lot! I could use it for the car. I was looking at the menus for Disneyland restaurants and I see where I can manage meals. I totally can eat salmon and lamb and we will get a late reservation for the carthay circle world of color dinning tickets. Then I can get a doggie bag...

Ok guys so one update I have for you is the bengal barbecue. It's considered a snack stand and it's across from the jungle cruise. They sell skewers of meat for $4.50, which by Disney standards is a deal! For a Normal person it's a snack but for us the perfect size and a good dose of Protein. I plan to visit today I'll post pics.

@@Miss Rachel We were at Disneyland in October...there's a wine stand at the end of Cars land, next to the Wine Country Trattoria, that sells a nice cheese and salami plate, plus bottled Water. There are also turkey leg stands, which my boys loved and I could steal a couple of ounces of meat from them.

I carried a small crossbody purse and kept a couple of Protein bars in it, and filled my water bottle every chance I got. It was a great trip with plenty of walking for exercise, have fun!

We had dinner in a Disney California Adventure restaurant last night. I had two slices of tritium, a bite of lobster, two spoons of potatoes and a few bites of broccoli. The desert plate featured creme brûlée, a Madeline and a dark chocolate mouse cake . So basically $50.00 for 4oz of food. dinner included preferred seating to the holiday light show. Kids are having a blast.post-305160-14813306826737_thumb.jpg

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
