CRUISE TO LOSE DATE CORRECTION



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Please be advised that the cruise leaves on 10/25/14 not 10/24. We will have a meet and greet on October 24th however at a hotel located near the port.

If I do not receive deposits soon I will have to cancel this cruise, thanks!

oh dear...is there really no interest? I want so badly to go next year. can we maybe do a survey of sorts to find out why there's no one signing up? Is it just that no one wants to go or is it the cost, or like me...is it because I didn't have enough advance notice? I'm really curious as I love this idea and like I said, I want to really do this next year so I can meet all my friends on this site.

Hi Liz,

I will get something going for 2015. Don't fret about that but I do believe someone was complaining that it sounded like an advertisement and complained to Alex. That's OK because if I have to pay and sponsor it on this side I will. People get testy. This cruise to lose was originally on the original lapband sight then it got changed to the bariatric pal site so it became open to all WLS people which I think is good. It does not matter what type of WLS you've had you still have to learn to face all situations in a social atmosphere. You can have fun and learn to eat in a special setting like a cruise and meet other people in a similar situation. So, I will still have a hot yoga instructor and a personal trainer onboard for all levels including people with disabilities. I'm also in consultation for special dietary needs onboard including special diets and allergen diets. I'm getting very excited with the people I have consulted and they're all certified in their field.

So hang in there. It may have to do with price too but the value is there for what people will be getting. A fun and healthy lifestyle vacation. Please keep in touch because I want to get in touch with Alex about possibly paying to sponsor this event out of my pocket. Perhaps we can then make it an annual event. :-)!

OK so I have to say that I am confused. Who is sponsoring the cruise? Is it an existing cruise? I will admit that what I saw with the limited amount of information that I did see/receive it seemed all a bit too cryptic for me to want to partake in it.

I want to see more information. What is the cruise line? Where is going to? Where does it leave from? What is the cost? How many days is it? Do I have a choice of rooms and levels of service?

There are too many variables to just say give me a deposit and that's it. If I were putting something together I would be doing things a little more broadly and much more transparent manner, so if anything I think this is where you might be getting some of the push back from.

So perhaps we could get a bit more information, and see what the interest is.

I apologize I really thought I had sent all the information. It was on the Carnival Liberty but now I'm tabling it until 2015 and I promise it will be a very detailed with information the next time.

If you would PM me with your e-mail addresses I will keep you on a list for the 2015 cruise and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to PM me. I'd be more than happy to give you my phone number and e-mail address. Thanks for your response.

despite it sounding like fun & educational, I don't cruise & I don't fly to get to where I could cruise from.

If there are wheels that don't leave the ground, I might consider some such activity.

Sharpie!

Good news!

It will leave either from Pt Canaveral with a pre-cruise hotel stay or from Miami but have not been able to negotiate a pre-cruise from Miami. The Port of Miami allows drop off shuttles but to be picked up shuttles are charged an exorbitant fee. Pt Canaveral is easier to negotiate. So most likely Pt Canaveral. PMme with your e-mail address. Thanks! Yes, I would love to meet everyone else too!

      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.
