1st Road Trip.

I will on my first road trip since surgery come next Thursday. Ironically I will be in Arkansas with my cousin who is having WLS on April 13th. I am looking forward to it but I am also a little nervous I will mess up bad. I have been doing really well with what I eat and all. I don't want to mess that up. Hey, if you would please give my cousin a little support? She is Sheila D. and her surgery page is at: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/status.phtml?N=D1064885942 Thank you for your support!

Chelle, You will do just fine. If you mess up a little, just get back on track! Don't beat yourself up about it. Thats part of a vacation, we all know it. Just have fun! Tracy

Chelle, I went away this weekend.....didn't get all of my water in or my protein. BUT I exercised a TON more.... I made sure I had my vitamins with me, some protein shake... and snacks that were low -carb in case we stopped at places that weren't food friendly. Thursday night we stopped at McD's. We can't take long since the dogs are in the car... I tried the new Fried Chicken Breast Cobb Salad. The dressing only had 5 sugars for the entire package....cheese crumbles, mixed greens and a whole breast filet. I have NEVER EVER liked chicken at McD's....and it was AWESOME! IF you want to ge good they also have a grilled chic. My surgeon's office told me to add more roughage (sp?) and salad was a good thing she said... Also said (plain) popcorn was a good snack...and fruit too....Easy to carry with you. YOU will do fine....just don't go over on calories even if you don't get to eat what you should (protein/low carb etc). I lost 3 lbs since last Thursday morning...
