Trying to avoid cruising to bandster hell on vacation.



Recommended Posts

So I'm going on a cruise with a group of people that I have not discussed my journey with. What and how do I eat without being outed? I'm feeling like I'm in my green zone right now but I know the environment will be challenging. I know it sounds silly but I do not want a pb or stuck episode to become the topic of conversation. I really just want to have a good time and enjoy my current success of 45lbs down. I'm hoping to be at the milestone of 50lbs by then so I don't want to remove any Fluid. Am I over thinking?

Hey Millie...don't worry so much. Believe me, folks are way more interested in what they are eating rather than what you are eating. If anyone happens to notice the small portions and/or eating slow, just tell them you ate something earlier and you're not that hungry. Or since you've lost a significant amount of weight, you can just mention that you are watching your portion size...and then drop the topic. Your cruise buddies should get the hint.

Have a great time...don't sweat it if you gain a pound or two. Whenever I go on vacation, I gain a little. It always comes off once I'm home. I don't feel guilty, I eat healthy and if I indulge a little, as long as it's a little, no harm, no foul.

Have a great time...I'm cruising next month.

Most of those buffets are loaded with slider foods anyway.

Thanks for the tips :)

It's funny how my worry went from "oh no I have to wear a swimsuit" to "oh no I have to eat".

I'm going to have this laugh then have a good time.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
