My Cruise....



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I just got married on Dec 3rd and went on a Mexican cruise the day after. After losing 104 lbs in 2 yrs, 8I finally gained 5 lbs. I've been on 2 other cruises since banding and didn't gain but this time I ate a lot more. I think I need a fill. Unfortunately were visitng familt 4 the holidays out of state until january so I can't get one till then. Now I find myself worrying about calories and my weight. Haven't worried about those things in a long time. My husband keeps trying to get me to eat lo carb (he's lost 80 lbs that way) bu5t 8I refuse to diet again. I spent my whole life on a diet and that's why I got the band. Hopefully a fill will help get me under control again. I can defiantely eat more now and I don't get stuck very often.I guess ill just enjoy my holidays and get a fill when I get home. And I was only 9 lbs from goal...oh well.

Happy holidays everyone

No big deal at all, just a tune up in living with the band which we older banders will probably always need! I really like your attitude...no dieting!!!

Reading this I am just glad to see you are not deiting. I am still a new at this and I have only had one fill and not loosing like I would like and I keep thinking I need to also go on a diet. But then I think why did I get banded? I get another fill tomorrow so I hope that will help. I can't wait until I am as close as you are to my goal! I love the hollidays but wish all the food did not have to go with it! Good luck.

You'll be okay, I just cruised for the 1st time in November. I have been real loose and then had gained 4 lbs so, today got a fill. I am quite tight,but look better a few lbs thinner. That what the lapband and fills are for though! Good luck. Karen

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
