Back from Vegas!

Sep 16, 2013

Overall, I had a great time!! I'm sure I didn't drink enough water or get in enough protein, but I tried my best! I always had a bottle of water with me -- every time the cocktail waitress came by the blackjack table, I ordered a bottle of water.

I bought Isopure at a GNC when I arrived in Vegas. I drank one of them the first day. It was only 20 ounces (with 40 grams of protein!), but it took me FOREVER to drink it - like ALL DAY. I remember back when I was drinking Diet Coke, I could finish 20 ounces in no time! I didn't care for the flavor of the Isopure -- there was a distinct aftertaste. And the next day, I had diarrhea for the first time in a while. I figured it had to have been the Isopure, since that was the only new thing that I consumed. So, I didn't bother drinking any more after that. :(

If we ate out at a restaurant, I would order a hamburger patty with cheese and bacon (nothing else -- no bun, no lettuce, nothing). I had my handy-dandy reduced-sugar ketchup bottle with me every time (LOL). I could only eat 1/2 of the patty at each meal. I can't believe how full that would get me! At breakfast, I ordered scrambled eggs and bacon. And for the rest of the day, I would just eat some of my snacks.

I had enough energy to last me the whole trip -- although, we weren't staying out until 2am or 3am like I used to do! But I think that has more to do with my age (39) than with my surgery. Hehe
