Okay all, I'm going to Orlando in September and will be 6 months post op by that time. My question is, will I be able to enjoy anything in small portions while I'm there? I knoooow I KNOW that the whole point of surgery is to change my food habits and I am. That's not what this is about. It's about one trip that I want to just let myself be human for the weekend so please no scolding or lecturing. Our main go to will be Harry Potter world. I know nothing will be bariatric friendly and I plan on taking protein bars and drinking lots of water, etc to stay on top of nourishment. But like, can I enjoy a drink? A brew? A sip of butterbeer? A bite or two of cauldron cake? I just want to be able to enjoy stuff in small portions and I'm wondering if anyone here has successfully indulged in small portions around 6 months post op??

At six months after surgery your pouch will be completely healed and you can eat or drink anything you want.

Have fun at Harry Potter, that sounds awesome! You will most likely find that you get intoxicated fairly quickly when you drink alcohol.

On a daily basis I would not go near any of the foods you mention. Not no way, not no how.

Vacations, however, are a horse of a different color. While my surgical restrictions are still in place I explore different than normal foods and drinks. I have fruity alcoholic drinks, I have cognac after dinner, I have desert. For meals, I make 'interesting' choices, explore local foods, whatever. I still leave a lot on the plate but that is life.

We can't tell you if you can eat or drink anything. My eating and drinking at 6 months wa**** and miss. Plus, I dump. Generally, taking a small taste was doable most times but I would not want to dump in the middle of a theme park.

I've never been anywhere that I could not find something my plan would allow.

Good luck, enjoy your trip.

I agree with White Dove However There may be consequences. Dumbing is real and can ruin at least a few hour of you day.

I did Harry Potter a year after my surgery. It's doable. Have just enough to enjoy it and not be deprived. I was able to share with my husband so I have the urge to eat and drink everything. You know yourself better than anyone and what you can handle. ENJOY it.

I would recommend not trying a new food group while on vacation that early on. Try a few bites of something similar at home to se how you will react (I have dUmping and RH, not everyone does). I prefer to risk spending quality time in my bathroom than in a public one. Also, unless they have a sugar free option, I'd give the butter beer a wide pass - anecdotally it seems sugary liquids cause more issues than a bite of sugar foods. Regardless, enjoy yourself! Active vacations are so much easier post WLS!
