A few bites of one of those awesome turkey legs, the guts out of a chicken sandwich or turkey burger... And stay at least 25 feet away from the churro carts!

Each resort I have ever stayed in has a food court/ convenience store type place. I have always been able to buy fruit, yogurt, and other healthy items....and Mickey Head ice cream bars, of course :)

You'll actually want to avoid juices post op, especially in your immediate honeymoon period. They're nothing but sugar and carbs, which are two things we REALLY ought to avoid.

Your Intestines are still very tender and healing at 3 months post op.and suseptable to those sutures coming undone , apart. Those Hard fast rides will surely do it. May even cause Hernias afterwards. Theres also a thing called Intestines separation after Wls. it hurts like a (you know what) tell me how you tolerate pain after that..Its happened to me because I choose to ride horses right after Rny and fell off 3 times.Hope you stay well after Rny. Today is my 10th Yr. anniversary from Rny. Hasn't been easy...because of some of the wrong choices I made..Ask your Wls surgeon I say. My cardiologist told me NOT to ride horses, Wish I'd listened..

No WAY your intestines are not healed in 90 days!!!! WTHF?

Your inside organs heal very quickly. There's a reason you can do ANY exercise you like after 6 weeks (42 days) and that's errs on the side of stupid anatomy knowledge (ie your surgeon covering his ass) and their fear you'll cause a hernia.

Roadapples. That's just silly. Quit fearmongering.

This reminds me of a group of women telling labor stories. There's always one who had every single complication and tries to scare others.

Yes, you will be able to go to Disney. Take a couple of protein bars just in case. Last time I was there, you can always buy water. Eat from the kids dishes. Once when I went to a buffet after WLS, I told them I had bariatric surgery. They charged me the kids rate. Even if they charge you the regular rate and you only eat a little, who cares. The food would have been wasted on your body---creating a need for more food, or you throw it away before it enters your mouth--same difference. The rides should be much easier than riding a horse and falling off. Just use your arms to brace yourself if it is a jerky ride. Any where your family eats, you can eat. If at Micky D's, I get a breakfast burrito and just eat the fake eggs and crap inside the one burrito. At any other fast food, just take a few bites of the inside of the sandwich. You will be fine. You can have fun with your family.

I just wanted to add, I try not to eat at fast foods often, maybe once per month. One of the important things about WLS is new habits and new food. you need to learn to cook and have food prepared for days sitting in the fridge. That being said, when I am on vacation, or out and about, I can make healthy choices anywhere. Ex: Fried chicken, peel the skin off and eat 2 ozs, no fries (the smell will probably make you sick). At 3 months out, you won't need much food, you won't need veggies, just protein. Later, when you get closer to goal, you can add veggies, fruit, complex carbs--whatever foods you find you can eat a small portion and that will not trigger overeating. BUT.....I would not add fruits, oranges, while you are on vacation. The sugar may give you the foamies or an upset stomach. I had to carry a cup with me everywhere the first couple of months.
