Hey guys. Im going to Myrtle beach on the 27th and it will be the first day that I can start normal foods. What should I order at restaurants and what Snacks should I bring along for the ride? All suggestions welcomed. My first trip to the ocean!!Yay!!:scared2:

Eat anything you want- just be mindful that you've come so far and you don't want to sabotage yourself. Save some money and don't order anything- just ask the person/people you are with to give you 1 bite of what they have. So, a bite of a hotdog, fries, ice cream-whatever is fine. But try to make good choices, of course. Water instead of soda or juice and veggies/protein instead of fried stuff.

Have fun in the sun! I've not made it to Myrtle this year, weird.

Hi, I just got back from Myrtle Beach last week. My hubby and i went and what worked for me was I let him order and I either ate a small portion of his (sharing can save alot of $$), or I ordered the Soup and salad. My hubby was very considerate and ordered things he knew I could eat. I ate broiled seafood (very good Protein source), Soups, veggies and mashed potatoes. So, maybe youcan talk whoever is going with you into shating with you. Good luck and have a great time. We go to MB about 4 times a year, so let me know if you have any ?s.

I was just wondering this myself! Except I usually go to Topsail NC, and it's like a 12 hour drive. I was trying to think of good choices at the fast food drive thrus we'd inevitably be going through

2 1/2 hours away from me.

That's awesome! We looove North Topsail, been going since I was a kid. We're booking our home next week for 2010's vaca - we're serious about it lol

I'm a peds nurse and would love to move around that area sometime late next year. I know New Hanover hospital in Wilmington has recently opened a new pediatric unit in the hospital, but other than that I don't know of many pediatric hospital/units near the cost. My understanding is that the big places to take the kids are Chapel Hill and Raleigh?

I live in Carthage, which is an hour from from both Chapel Hill and Raleigh, and I too am a nurse. I am an LPN, working n my RN. If you want any suggestions, just let me know. BTW, as far as traveling, we ate at KFC and I ate mashed potatoes, slaw and corn. Ate at MCD's and had the parfait and a burger without the bread. Taco Bell, refried Beans. Subway, had them make me a sub without the bread (they put it in a salad bowl for you). If you have anyother questions, just let me know.
