Vacation after Gastric Bypass Surgery



Recommended Posts

It has been 17 weeks since my surgery and I am down almost 70 pounds. My concern is we are going to an all-inclusive resort for 6 days. I am really still not able to stomach much food. Any advice would be great. I am packing my premade Protein Shakes and bars. Any hel would be appreciated.

I would call the resort, let them know about your diet restrictions. Ill bet they will accomadate you. Cruises are very good like that if you call ahead and i believe the resort will do the same.

Ask for small portions. Or take a pocket sized food scale and weigh out your portions at the table.

I'm planning on going to an all-inclusive resort in May. I told myself I'll look for Protein options & skip alcohol (I'll miss the alcohol). If they can cater to diet restrictions, I would let them now.

I would stick with Protein and veggies, but be wary of added fats and sugars in sauces and things. The buffets usually have lots of options including fresh fruits and veggies. You shouldn't have a problem finding things that fit your new healthy lifestyle. That said I'm all about the details and like the poster above, I would probably bring a small portable food scale to ensure my portions and protein grams are on point.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
