Anyone Take A Cruise After Being Sleeved?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

Just wondering how folks dealt with abundance of food etc.

What you did to stay on track?

There are many healthy choices for food, so I think I should be okay for next cruise :)

I went on a 1 week cruise at 4 mos post-op. I did not stick closely to my diet except to make sure I got in all my protein.(I put powder in ziplock bags & brought my mixing cup.) For the first time since my surgery, I ate some Pasta, Desserts & drank wine. My sleeve ensured I ate those foods in small amounts. Love, love, love my sleeve!!!

My weight loss slowed, but i still lost 2 pounds that week. I did so much walking in port that I burned whatever excess I consumed. I did go right back to my routine afterward. I think its Ok to treat yourself, in moderation, ever once in a while! Good luck & enjoy!

It was hard with food around everywhere. There's an ice cream bar next to the pool.

There was a candy store I had to pass all the time. Temptations everywhere!!

I did gain some, but I was able to lose it as soon as I got home and went back to my regular eating habits.

Hi,

Bringing Protein supply would be key. Also liquid sf beverage flavorings. I know I would eat more than usual, not much more, but to be honest, more.

I want to reach my goal within one year... 90lbs.

Thanks for the responses.

Hello...I took a cruise 3 months after surgery and it was not bad. I actually had a blast. (#12) I was really nervous because I was still a little nauseous at times after eating. I really watched what I ate mainly because I didn't want to get sick and spoil the trip for our entire group. The staff was extremly helpful. I ate out of small bowls and only had Water to drink. Also...keep a peice of fruit with you at all times. You will be fine...Have fun!!!

Katrina~

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
