I'm a tour conductor and I took a 7 say cruise and I lost 8 lbs! I've decided to reward myself on my bandaverssary and book a special cruise with Laplanders. If anyone is interested in joining other Laplanders let me know and I'll arrange it. I think I lost weight just from walking everywhere on the ship but I made wise food choices and the chef was able to accommodate my diet. I take great pride in helping people with special needs take hassle free vacations and cruises so they can experience the world without limitations. That includes special diets, etc., when I told my doctor I was concerned about taking a cruise because of all the food around me, he said no one is putting a gun to your head to eat the food. I kept that thought in my head and he was right! No one stuck a gun to my head!. So, let's keep that thought and if anyone is interested in a lapbander cruise to lose let me know. Just PM. Me. Thanks!

Any ideas for dates yet?

Consensus if you want to make it a 4,5 or 7 day cruise. We will leave out of the Orlando area (pt canavdral) or the Miami area.

Please click my name to leave me a personal message

I will publish the full details as soon as plans are finalized. I want to clear this with our forum founder Alec. If anyone is interested please let me know by sending me a PM. You can PM Me by clicking my name on top.

Febuary is tax time that is great for people to try and save for the trip as some of us have kids and xmas is just around the corner, I think 4 days should be enough but then again I guess it really doesn't matter , so she needs a census to book the cruise people I am going to try and save sounds like fun and to meet people in person tags with our banded site names lol.

People always dread Cruises...I guess because of the access to unlimited food.....but for people with WLS' date=' that should never be an issue.....

I usually loose weight, or at least not gain, every time we cruise...which is often....the portion sizes in the Dining Room are perfect, non banded people always complain they are too small.....and the band prevents me from over eating in the first place.....

We always order a case of bottled Water to our stateroom, and I bring some liquid concentrate Protein with me....

We are very active on a cruise, with plenty of walking and activities in ports.....so when I am active and pre-occupied, food is always the last thing on my mind.....and there is usually little time to do so...

Ships have very good fitness centers, jogging tracks.....so I am able to get my run in every morning, outside in the middle of the open sea as the sun is coming up......Beautiful!!!

And then some time in the gym.....

We also make it habit to use the stairs instead of the elevators.....

Our next cruise is coming up in less than 100 days.....[/quote']

I agree during my cruise this past summer was some of my best work outs I always got before the sun raised and ended being on the trend mill just as the sun came up this was one of the most motivating things to see as the sun raised up over the crystal blue Water

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
