Anyone Take A Cruise After Being Sleeved?

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!!!
