Disney World at Thanksgiving



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

My hubby just told me today that he wanted to go to Disney world for the week of Thanksgiving. I love Disney World. I have had my band for 4 weeks. I am supposed to have my first fill Nov. 5th.

If I go to Disney what would I eat? We would have to eat counter service for finances and I can't think of any healthy options. Anyone experience anything like this> All help and suggestions will be appreciated. i also posted on food and nutrition board.

It's disney world! I'd just do the best I could...I'd chew chew chew, not snack, not drink with meals, but enjoy myself. Even counter service at disney often offers healthier choices....you can do it. Have fun!

There are healthier choices most places you go, just eat small portions. Take Protein supplements with you in your purse, especially if you are going to do alot of walking and lots of Water. Stay hydrated and protein fed. I don't eat many meals a day normally but when I am out travelling I find I eat more frequently making sure I get my protein in and in small quantities which keeps my energy up. Ask your nutritionist for suggestions and write ahead to Disney World - they have reps that help with people with special needs who can offer suggestions.

The kids meals have applesauce and hamburgers.

When I was there this summer I was all about eating the bugers with out the Buns. There are decent choices. Bring oatmeal for Breakfast in the hotel and Snacks that work for yourself.

Don't fret, look at it as a learning experience. OMG, have so much fun!

You can bring food and even a small soft side cooler into the parks. I brought Water, crystal light packets, Protein Bars, nuts, fruit, oatmeal, etc.<o:p></o:p>

We stayed in a condo instead of a hotel so I had the benefit of a full kitchen to prepare Breakfast and a few dinners.<o:p></o:p>

Food was the last thing on my mind while in the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:Street><st1:address>Happiest Place</st1:address></st1:Street> on Earth!!!!<o:p></o:p>

You will be fine. Just skim all the menus and choose the best option. I think you will find something everywhere.. I know I do.

Have fun and relax :)

      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.
