Take the cruise!!! I had bypass 6 weeks ago and I'm good now! Full of energy. I know my limits and what I can an can't eat. I know cruise are all about the eating so it will be an adjustment! But like everything else, you will find other ways to enjoy yourself. I love cruises iv been on a lot. I just talked to my friend today about booking one for next year. I know I will ever eat what I use to, but now I'm going to and really enjoy myself in other ways instead of always focusing it around food! Good luck and have fun

One of my biggest challenges was reintroducing foods in to my diet. Eventually everything worked out but I used to love rice & if I think about rice now, UGH and Pasta, can't get pasta to stay down & it's been over a year. You just have to go slow & try try again!

I had my sleeve surgery on Monday September 26, and I have a cruise booked Nov 28. 8 weeks later. Booked the cruise over a year ago before I made the decision to start this journey. My surgery date was a little later than I planned due to delays from insurance. I hope 8 weeks will be enough time to be ready for the cruise. So far no issues with recovery. Any tips appreciated! It's a 10 day cruise to Panama Canal and southern Caribbean!

I had a trip planned when I got my surgery date. My surgeon said that as long as it was two weeks after surgery there was no reason not to go. (It was 3 weeks later).

Thankfully I had no issues or complications and the trip has gone well!

      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.
