Week 5 - Going to Vegas!

Sep 11, 2013

I had this Vegas trip planned before I even knew I was going to have surgery. Before my surgery, I wasn't sure if I'd be feeling well enough to go since I'm only 5 weeks out. When I asked on the boards, some people said there was no way they could do it, while others said they would have no problems traveling at five weeks out.

I'm feeling great and I'm pretty sure I'll be able to handle it. The one thing I really need help with is loading my suitcase into and out of the car. I don't see an issue getting help for this (hopefully!).

This is a VERY low key trip -- just me and one friend. I'm not a big drinker, so that was never in my plans. We'll just be doing a couple of shows, some gambling, and some walking around.

When I arrive in Vegas, I'm hitting GNC so that I can buy some bottles of Isopure (one for each day I'm there). I've packed hard-boiled eggs and packets of mayo so I can have "egg-salad" every day for one of my meals. (I'm keeping them in a cooler and will have a fridge in my hotel room.) I'm also taking pumpkin seeds, protein bars, and beef jerky for high-protein snacks. I don't plan on hitting any buffets (A MIRACLE!) so I will just order chicken breast, hamburger patty, or scrambled eggs when we eat out. (I'm even bringing my own bottle of reduced-sugar ketchup!) HAHA

Wish me luck at the blackjack tables!
