Going on a cruise..how to track food w/o fitness pal?

[bashmom 36]

I was sleeved June 11th and also can eat anything but bread' date=' Pasta, rice, salad and beef. I'm lucky if I get 4 or 5 bites down at each setting. I can't do Protein shakes, they make me sick so I try sticking to only Protein foods. I love my fitness pal and am also going to miss my Internet while gone. Do you mind me asking how much you've lost so far?[/quote']

I lost 30 pounds, I started at 182 pre op diet , the day of the surgery I was 171 ... today 152, i am only 5 feet tall so slow loser, but I am happy because I when from size 14-16 petite to size 9 my latest jeans from Hollister..before I cannot find anything for me at that store... Also I am not taking any medications for my allergies and my cholesterol is better then 10 years ago., I am very happy with my results so far.. That is why I want to be good at the cruise and not slip from this opportunity that I am having to star over ,get a second chance made better food choices

We went on a cruise a couple of months after my lapband. Told myself I could eat whatever I wanted, just had to take the stars at all times. Wanted to know what they were serving at the different food areas? Took the stairs to find out. Took those stairs and walked all over town at each stop. Ended up losing 10 lbs on that cruise. Good luck and have fun!!!

Ok back from cruise. Here is the feedback

1- the tip about using stairs about the ship GREAT my husband loved the idea only my kids complained but we did it most of the time

2- Gym was great when 2 times

3- zumba class in the mornings

4- Always Ordered fish or seafood at the fancy restaurants

5- Breakfast eggs whites omelets with mushrooms and spinach everyday...delicious

When from 152 to 148 in 7 days .. Never counted my calories but I think there where more than 1000 per day. Not Protein shakes at all.. Why eating more I was losing more?

Mine was June 10th do not worry... I have lost 23 after surgery but . I am very pleased with my results. My allergies are better, now i do not need to take steroids to control them also , I am getting complements at my job everyday about looking younger. Who cares about the pounds if we are feeling great...
