Me And My Sleeve Went On A Cruise!



Recommended Posts

Hello, So I had a wonderful 7 Day Cruise!! Amazing. So happy I had my sleeve with me on the crusie. Tons of food everywhere. I did have one bad day of overeating were I had to puke but I learned my lesson after that. This was the first time I was around so much free food! When I got home from the cruise I lost 3 pounds tho because I worked out everyday and took the stairs allot.

PS. I met a wonderful guy on the cruise, who is now my boyfriend lol who knew I would meet a great guy on vacation lol.

So glad you had a great time, and you've probably set a new record for the only person to get off a cruise ship with a weightloss:). Not to mention a boyfriend too...is just "icing on the cake".

How soon after you being sleeved did you go on the cruise? I'm scheduled on 9/12 but originally was supposed to go on a 7 day crusie on Oct.6. Now I'm thinking I should call the cruise line to see if I can reschedule for next year some time. I just think that I wouldn't be able to really enjoy myself three weeks after surgery. Plus we're supposed to be going with a group of people and I think they would question why I'm not enjoying all the food.< /p>

I don't think you should take a vacation 3 weeks after surgery. You'll be on a 10 pound weight restriction. You won't even be able to lift your luggage. If you can reschedule, you should.

OP, congrats on enjoying the cruise!

I've been dying to ask because I see it all the time and can't figure it out - what does OP stand for? Sorry- digressing a bit but it bugs me that I see it all the time. I figures out that it is referring to the the original poster. O m g - is that what it stands for??? Hahaha. I'll laugh if it does :).

I am 7 months out-- You can go-- but I recommend you wait, because 1. you will not be able to try all the different foods, and you wont be able to dance like you want too because you will stil have a little discomfort, and you cant drink! I would try to take it before the surgery or 5-6 months afterwards!.

Yes, it stands for original poster. I couldn't remember the name and was obviously too lazy to scroll back up and look.

      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.
