Hi Everyone,

As much as I worried about going away, the trip was just what I needed.  At eight weeks out, I questioned my own decision to go out of the country knowing I really needed to watch what I was eating and drinking.  It turned out to be just fine and I even learned a whole new confidence about making good choices while eating out.  Of course, I can still only eat about 4 ounces so there were several times when I had to convince the waiters that I liked the fish but was just not able to eat anymore. 
 
Protein drinks, nuts, tuna, oatmeal, yogurt and fresh soups helped me get through the trip.  I did a ton of walking and went to the gym three times while there.  The weather was cool and cloudy most of the week, but I got a chance to relax and reconnect with some good friends. 

Oh! Did I mention I lost three pounds while I was away!   Pam

Congrats on the awesome vacation Pam!

So true about the food. I have to state numerous times that there was nothign wrong with the food and I just wasn't hungry enough to finish the plate. Most chain restaurants don't care. but, I've had the propreiter of a mom and pop restaurant come out to ensure I didn't dislike their food.
