Disney vacation planning... newly sleeved.



Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I am 8 days post-op and I'm feeling good! I am so completely tired of the liquid diet, however, I know this is what I have to do to be healthy and successful. Here's the problem... I am a part-time Disney travel agent and I have an upcoming Walt Disney World trip coming up at the end of February. I've been doing a lot of planning while I've been home recovering. I've been driving myself mad reading restaurant menus freaking out that I'm not going to get my Protein and Water quota while walking 12+ miles a day. At this point I will be just over 3 months post-op. Can anyone give me any suggestions, experiences, advice on how to stay energized and not get sick while in the parks? Luckily, it will be winter so I'm not too concerned with the sun dehydrating me. I also know that this is in the future and I don't know how my body and my new stomach will be then. Just looking for some input.

Thanks!

I work outdoors and I have a small cooler. I put an ice pack in it with my 32oz water bottle, two muscle light shakes, 2 yogurts (oikos triple), string cheese, canned salmon/tuna fish and edamame Beans. These items are light and you can eat them throughout the day on the go.

All of those are great ideas, but you do need to get your Water in. I live near Disney, and our winter is not like actual winter. February is often in the 80s and extremely sunny. Dehydration can happen year round.

If you don’t want to carry food around, Disney has lots of options that can be fairly inexpensive. There are stands everywhere with healthy Snacks so you aren’t spending a lot on huge meals that would take a month to eat.

I usually get a kid’s meal with grilled chicken, side salad or broccoli, yogurt, and bottled water for $4.95. They have condiment bars with the Peanut Butter containers that I take for snacks.

Have fun! You’ll have a great time!

      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.
