Travel question



Recommended Posts

I'm in a similar situation. I have a cruise planned mid September. I could have had surgery anytime this month but chose to postpone my surgery for a week and a half after I get back from the cruise. I'm sure I could have managed and still had fun but lets be honest....I already purchased the drink package...I'm obligated to not let that go to waste! ;) I'm super happy with my decision. I can fully enjoy my trip then come home and get ready for the big day. By the time I'm ready for my next vacation, I'll be adapted to my new WLS life style.

PS When I visited Paris, I walked around like crazy. All the museums and sites and not to mention all the delicious carbs!!! I'm glad you are postponing your trip! I would have been sad for you if you hadn't hahaha. Good luck and have fun!!

I went on vacation at 6 weeks but out was relaxing at the beach and was fine. But I had no energy at 2 weeks. At that point I was still trying to drink enough. I'd ask them if they can put you on the schedule for right after your trip.

      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.
