IrishSoul 18 Posted June 13, 2012 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 Sent from my iPad using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gramom123 3 Posted June 13, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted June 14, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IrishSoul 18 Posted June 14, 2012 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. Sent from my iPad using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ka-Trina 1 Posted June 24, 2012 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!!!
