magic699 0 Posted January 3, 2006 I wrote a long post earlier and when I clicked to send it- I got an error message and my post was gone. So aggrevating! Anyway I am doing great. I have lost 15 lbs. in 13 days. Tomorrow I get to start adding a few mushies. I've gotten used to the liquid and it's gonna feel funny chewing again. I am going on a cruise Jan. 15. I had to talk to the nutritionist about it. She went ahead and added fish this time so I would have something to eat on the cruise. I will just have to have a lot of will power and determination. I think I'll do fine. Now Kathy, how are you doing? One more thing- my daughter-in-law is in labor! I may be a nana again tomorrow! I'm so excited! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunsett 2 Posted January 3, 2006 How exciting nana! I went on a 9 day cruise not even 3 weeks after my band. I was so afraid that I would have food problems. I recommend everyone who gets the band goes on a cruise right away! It was a fantatic way to try differen't foods that I don't noramlly want to oder or buy. I had my protien shake in the morning because I am really not a Breakfast person. Then for lunch I'd have a little of fish or chicken and some veggies. LOTS OF Water, and for dinner I had a roll or 2 with butter (Royal Carribean has hese wonderful seeded very small rolls yummm they were good) I would order Soup, and a main dish and of course desert. I consentrated on the protien, after my roll..lol...then veggies and a few bites of desert. The midnight buffets I was never awake for so they didin't bother me. I ordered fish which I would have never ordered at home. I even had a few bites of prime rib one night. Anyway I did not feel deprived and I ost 5 1/2 pounds on the trip. So enjoy yourself and don't be afraid to try things. Good luck with the new little one tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
