8lb gain in 6 days!!! Was on a cruise logged every calorie and even worked out. God willing most of this is Water retention or something as I was actually eating healthy!! So disappointed right now!!

I got back from my Alaskan cruise 10 days ago - gained 8 lbs also! I actually didn't think it was physically possible, but I guess it is. I just went all out. Didn't "watch" anything (actually, I watched it go from my fork to my mouth!). Didn't work out once (unless you count normal walking around the ports). It's been less than 2 weeks and I've already lost 4 of those lbs.

8 lbs isn't the end of the world. But, it can grow into more (ask me, I've gained 30 lbs over the past year. I blame my slip!) so I'd reign it in now. Hope you hjad fun on your cruise! I had a blast but we lost our camera the last day on the boat - so I have no proof I was even there.

Good luck!

if you logged your calories and worked out, then don't worry about the 8 lbs. it's likely water weight and will come off pretty quickly. I just got back from my vacation on Sunday and also watched what I ate though I knew that my sodium intake was higher than normal. I gained about a pound in total but watched my weight fluctuate a couple of pounds up and down the whole week I was away. Got on the scale today and lost three pounds since I'm home. I'm telling you...it's water weight....

Sounds like there will be success in losing because you are surrounded by support.(boy I wish I had just cruised too!!!)

But I'll send support wishes anyway. : )

Thanks everyone. Glad to see I am not the only one! And thankfully the vacation was great!

It has to be Water gain!!! Don't sweat it, and just keep on track like you've been doing.

We had booked an 11 day cruise for the British Isles, and because of the delayed dates for our surgeries (insurance hangups) we had to cancel out. I feel like I missed the trip of a lifetime, but when this weight is gone I'll enjoy the next cruise even more.

      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.
