Wow, a vacation that was food obsession free!



Recommended Posts

I went on my first vacation to Barbados where I didn't plan my whole day around food! I went to the Breakfast buffet and just had my normal meal rather than a five course breakfast. I had a tiny lunch and a normal sized dinner and no snacking. I even managed to lose 5 lbs while I was gone! It is so nice to have the band actually be working!

Wow! It's like a whole new world, isn't it? Love my band, too. Congratulations on your success. Keep up the good work.

isnt it just awesome. To go on holiday and not be either stressed out about how much you're gaining or driving yourself nuts trying to avoid food so that its all you think about!

I even go the whole hog and treat vacations as a bit of a health camp - I up the running, get out and see things, walk around etc. I come home feeling so healthy and fit, that's what a holiday is all about, not rolling home unable to button your jeans.

That sounds fabulous. Enjoying the holiday, eating like a normal person and not having to go on that post holiday diet.

Well done

      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.
