Loc: Hawaii (The North Shore of Oahu)
Thanks so much Jennifer for all the great ideas and for the encouragement. This is our 20th anniversary cruise and I want it to be wonderful – certainly not messed up by my food problems. It's been a long time since we traveled away from Hawaii, and you're right, it's beautiful here -- hard to leave, even for "trip of a lifetime" vacation.
It's great to have someone to talk to about these things. My husband thinks my getting bloated by afternoon is "in my head." Yeah, right! That's why all my clothes are drawstring these days.
You're sure right that I don't expect to gain weight on the cruise. The IBS diet turns out to be a weight loss program – at least for me. I'm surprised too after all these years of people telling me not to eat white bread and white potatoes and that whole grains and more beans and greens in my diet was what I needed. This is a whole different way of eating.
I've got Beano and Gas-X packed in my carry-on. Don't want to get too far away from it. Also, packets of soluble fiber. When you say to eat soluble fiber before your eat vegetables, do you mean benefiber or bread?
I have so much to learn. Can't wait for my books to come…
