*****Tuesday Roll call*****

Have you submitted to insurance already - after your 6 mos diet program?

The insurance won't deny you if you have gained weight either way in most cases.

Your SURGEON, however, may (mine would...if you gained weight from the first time you meet her at your consult to surgery date, your surgery gets cancelled.  I gained weight from consult to PATs and then lost it before surgery, so I was ok)

Hang in there!

Hello,
I am working on gettting submitted. I have a consult on Nov. 3rd. Then they will make me meet with the nutritionist. Then they will submit to insurance.

Good Morning All,
Today finds us running errands, and shopping at several different store, Walmart, Target, GNC, Michaels.  I am getting a little nervous as my daughter and her family are planning a Disney trip in January, and  I am going.  My daughter asked me what I would be able to eat,  I told her we will wait till it gets closer and worry about it then.  I will be asking for ideas when the trip gets closer.  Have a Good Day All

I did Disney a few months after my surgery and it worked out just fine with a little planning.  Make sure that you tell your hotel that you need an in-room fridge for medical reasons.  You can also request a microwave (depends on the hotel - some will, some won't).  If you have room in your luggage, take a magic bullet blender with you and you can get milk and fresh fruit and whip up protein shakes to get your morning started right...  Go to the grocery store when you get there and stock up on easy, portable proteins like cheeses, lunchmeats, peanut butter, etc.  If you're staying on Disney property and don't have a car available, there is a grocery delivery service that will do the shopping and deliver it to your hotel room... I can't remember the name of it, but just do a search online and you'll find it.  All the restaurants offer egg beaters or egg whites for breakfast (just ask), and you can find great broiled fish in that area of FL. 

My daughter brought a camelback with her (it's a backpack with an insulated water bladder in it that you can fill with ice water)... I brought my little insulated lunch bag with protein bars and ice-water refillable blender bottle.  Wasn't a burden to carry and I always had something available that was "safe" and always had water.  All the restaurants were great about filling the bottle with ice and water for me!

It's do-able... you just need to put a little thought into your day (just like at home).
