What would he say?

Yes Ma'am.  In Texas they do, if it's a full bar.  Don't know about CA or Hawaii, but I would certainly ask.  My favorite brand is Firefly, but there are others out there that are good too...Have fun!

 Elina, we are nearing the end of our once in a lifetime Europe/Holy Land cruise. By the time I get home it will be 22 days, the longest vacation I've had post op  by far. I weighed myself this morning in the gym and am right where I should be. This is after days in Venice,eating more pasta in 3 days than I've had in the past 5 years.  I've had wine and/or ****tails every day. And dessert. And scrumptious food.  I've also walked and walked and walked! And I have tried to go for protein first at meals (except in Italy :-). I think you WILL moderate yourself more than you know, without even thinking about it) and be just fine. 

Where are you staying on Maui? We've been there the last several summers--have a wonderful time!

Lizanne, we are staying in Lahaina.  Do you have any suggestions for us?  I intend to be active all day, with hiking and swimming and snorkeling and then dance all night.  You are probably right, I will almost certainly burn it off. 

How was your cruise?  It sounds wonderful, but a bit dangerous with the Arab spring and all the unrest.  I am sure the cruise ship crew are making sure you stay safe.  Have you stopped in Turkey yet?  If you are still going there, buy some leather.  Their leather good are fantastic.  I have a beautiful red leather jacket that my Mom purchased for me from Turkey on the same cruise I bet you are on.

 
Oh Elina.....Where do I start ????????

I wish I didn't read this at 3 in the morning.........

I know how you tick......I got your number.... were Teammates (yeah, I saw your post about Ms. Shell....and I'm watching the Olympic re-plays.......)

Some Random thoughts:

- First.... your gonna be fine and Dr.C trusts you.....

- You could come back 12lbs. heavier...... and have it off in a week.......

- Dr.C would be thrilled for you!!!! Remember.... He is all about the "Better Quality of Life" after WLS and WL..... 

- Don't even try and kid us......You will be "Mindful" Going on Vacation. A few days won't undo what you have worked for..... Sure your gonna go over the line...... but you know where the line is and your willing to pay the price.....that's how your wired !

- If your like me.... after a few days you will still be enjoying yourself immensely ...... but there will be a desire to get back to your normal comfort zone.

- I say enjoy yourself..... your gonna be active.... I call it a push......

- You probably will come back a few pounds up..... sodium and airplane bloat..... 3 days back and your all good.....

- Send Dr.C an e-mail and ask him for some restaurant suggestions !!!!!
He goes to Hawaii about 10 times a year for the last 8 years or so....... I talk food and restaurants with him all the time..... heck...we ate with him.

- And finally......Dr.C would tell you to have a great time...... You know what to do.......

(and for y'all....For Elina, that doesn't necessarily mean for her to stay on a plan..... It just means she knows how to handle it any way she wants, and he trusts her.)

Don't take this the wrong way, but I love you Frisco.  Really, Alan will not mind if I tell you!  Your support is like no other.  You really do get me, and you are right, right about everything.  Now, call me already.  I have send you two emails and nothing.  I need to tell you a few things. 

Make more good choices than bad....and repeat...SEAVIEW

I, too, lost weight on vacation. I just kept to the rules most of the time and the rest of the time just rolled with it. I wouldn't worry about it now. When you get back, weigh yourself, nod your head and get on with the program. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Here's the thing. You're going to Hawaii. You, I know, really like food. Enjoy it and don't worry about it. I lived there for several years. I love it there, you're going to have an amazing time.

Go to Haleakula at sunrise (yes, that means getting up at 3am). Seeing that is the most amazing thing in the world.
