Disney vacation planning... newly sleeved.

[kns2033 0]

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!

Get a day pack and fill it with some cheese and turkey sticks, maybe yogurt, Protein Bars and Water.

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!
