I am going on a cruise this weekend, my first with the band, im sure verything will be fine.

Dr did tell me liquids only before I fly, said the band will get tighter in the air.

I went on a cruise in November. This was before my first fill. I had little to no restriction and I ate 3 meals a day but I did drink more than usual. I gained about 3 lbs after the week. And it came off quickly.

Have a great time on your cruise!

I was not banded when I went on my cruise but I still lost weight! I did swim everyday on the ship and did LOTS of walking on land. I had a friend say to me "you are the only person I know who lost weight on a cruise!" Depending on the cruise line you might be able to get egg whites for Breakfast. Also my experince was that the actual servings in the dinning rooms were on the small side because they have lots of courses. I would get a the salad as an app and then the meal, and usually a dessert. For example ice cream scoops were literally the size of a ping pong ball.

Most ships have both pools (early mornings you can swim laps) and a free gym.

My brother who is a normal size person actually ordered two Entrees at dinner because they were so small.

Don't feel like you have to explain yourself to the servers. If they ask you if the food is alright because you have'nt finished it; just say you had a big lunch.
