I had a Gastric Bypass 39 years ago. I have, had lost over 100lbs gained some back and lost again with a great struggle. Back then there was no proper education/instructions as to what to do afterwards. No pre-surgery instructions nothing. You had your surgery spent a week in hospital and sent home and now living with life long complications. No follow up instruction others then to remove the 135 staples holding you together. It’s so much safer today with greater success. Both you and your husbands journey the last year is amazing, keep up the great job. I’ve just started watching your vlogs and truly enjoying them, since being introduced to you through Victoria. Love all the wonderful trips you take. Enjoy life to the fullest 💕🇨🇦

The boats are so fun!!! We went to Disney (my first time!) for our honeymoon, and we were gifted a stay in the Saratoga Springs resort. We took the boat everyday to and from Disney Springs - we'd go shop, get snacks/food, some drinks, and take it back to our hotel room. It was so fun!

Hi Catherine, loving your blog. I have a gastric sleeve in October 2021 and have lost 112lbs, now 148 lbs and a size 10, I haven’t been back to Disney since I had my surgery so this is really helpful! I’m also interested to know if you’ve done an all inclusive holiday as I have one coming up! Did you find you ate more in Orlando due to the amount of walking? Did you need to increase your water intake also? Any other differences you find (outside of eating)?

I would worry about food poisoning keeping leftover chicken in a container for later - but I'm paranoid like that! Also, I got a nitro cold brew once and it made me SO shaky and upset my stomach. Haven't made that mistake again and stick with regular cold brew. My favorite is the pumpkin cream in the fall.

My cousin lost weight and I asked her how she did without working out. She said she PORTIONS what she eats and she stops eating when she feels full. We as people usually over eat hence why a lot of us don’t lose weight. Hahaa but happiness and stress free also plays a key. Thanks for another amazing vlog hun 🥰

Your totally right, my portions were out of control before surgery! ✨ I agree with the stress, that can be such a huge factor for overeating, I know it was for me!

Have you ever ran into an issue of traveling or going into an event and you're not allowed to bring sealed/packaged snacks or water? I'm having surgery soon and often wonder if places that go through bags/purses for security would require me to toss out stuff I've brought. Ideally I will always have something on me after surgery so I'm never without a quality protein source or water when I need it. Would love any feedback if you experienced any issues with that. Thanks for these vlogs! It is helpful to know how things change over time after surgery.
