Back from 2 weeks holiday YIKES



Recommended Posts

Two weeks in Sweden and Denmark...fell off the cheese wagon, but I was careful and didn't over indulge. It was difficult eating when I am used to, small meals over the day. Got my Protein with fish, and occassional egg and...cheese:drool: Go for another weigh in and hopefully a fill next week. I don't think I did too much damage..probably didn't lose but didn't gain either!!

So... How was the trip??? I am an avid traveler and am always considering Sweden. I hear it's beautiful, lots of nice locals and a totally different way of life compared to the US.

Glad you had a great vacation. I wouldn't worry about indulging a bit here and there. We just got back last week from vacation and I tried for the first few days to eat like I should, but it was just too hard and I indulged myself quite a bit. I expected to come home to a disaster on the scale and I ended up actually losing 2 pounds. I know that is a bad message to send but my thinking is that I don't eat like that at home and we only do vacation like that once or twice a year and even if I had gained 5 pounds, I would still not beat myself up for it.

I have a desk job. While I do exercise regularly after work, when I'm on vacation I'm typically WAY more active than usual. Swimming, walking, snorkeling, hiking, dancing, etc. So I almost ALWAYS lose weight on vacation. Even pre-band. Just HAVE FUN, and you shouldn't have to worry about the "indulgences". that's part of a vacation. Part of my weight loss journey was to ENJOY life again, and be normal. That's part of it, and why I love my band. Quality of life is at the top of the list for me.

      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.
