That's awesome! I'm scheduled for my next cruise in December. Cruises are the best vacation to take and you don't have to drive everywhere!

Congrats on your progress and it just might be that 1lb. is simply Water retention! I would love to go on a a cruise and plan to do that in the very near future.

honestly when you look at the number of views vs. the number of people who comment there is a huge difference. sometimes people just don't know what to say or are looking for answers to a problem they are experiencing. jealous about your cruise and think you did amazing only gaining 1 lb. you should be proud because i know the food they serve on those cruises are yummmmmmy!

Wow 5 day cruise and only one pounds that is certainly terrific

My wife and I love to go on cruises glad I am banded because before band I would gain 5 to 10 pounds. With the band 1 to 2 pounds.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
