I drink a 32 gram Protein Shake (160 Cal) at about 7:30am then 2 pieces of cheddar cheese slices at 10am (100 cal), then some almonds around noonish. Then another protein shake at about 3pmish. Then usually a piece of meat (chicken or beef) for dinner. I drink all my Water through out the day. I also take a milk of magnesia before bed so I can go the next day.

Then just had a piece of meat for dinner. (Chicken or hamburger). It also tamed my hunger all week doing this. I was always hungry every 2 hours. Now the hunger has subsided. Hope this will help you!!! Let me know!

Anything without sugar, like a martini or tequila on the rocks should be okay if you drink it slowly with a lot of Water on the side. Only issues I have had with alcohol are when I drank sweetened (prickly pear margarita) or carbonated (prosecco) drinks, but others do not have the same issues. Try a few things before you go so you dont get sick and have a fantastic cruise.

Vodka / Water with lime or lemon- you can try a flavored vodka too- ciroc watermelon and water is good- a friend told me lol

All comes from them water- logging you while you're in there. Your body is peeved enough at you disturbing their status quo, so it holds on to that Fluid until it DECIDES it is the right time to release it, and "often inches start to go before the fluids all out-flow." A quicky,poem for you from yours truly!

I came home weighing 12 lbs more than I went in and the scale didn’t budge those first few weeks. What everyone said, your body has been through a lot. Give it time to heal and adjust. Best advice that’s the hardest to take is lose the scale and don’t compare your loss rate with what you see others post. And if you haven’t yet, take your measurements. That has helped me a lot because even when the scale wasn’t moving my neck went down a whole inch in a week. Hang in there 👍🏻

You lost a pound this week? That's great! Recognize that!

One pound lost is better than no pounds lost or a gain, right? You're still recovering from surgery. It'll come with time. Be patient.

You're post op though, which means that your body is still recovering from surgery and likely retaining Water. I'm sure you'll see a big drop on the scale soon. Try not to stress about it and focus on those fluids. You're doing great!

I'm post op 2weeks and finally weighed in this week and lost only 1 pound. How can that be?? I'm still on liquid diet and have 480 calories a day! I drink 40 oz of Water a day also!!! Wth ?
