I am booked for a much anticipated cruise with my sister in Jan (she has lost 80 pounds as a result of surgery in 2007) I am just beginning the process and will probably be banded some time in late September. The food used to be one of the cruise highlights and recognize this will no longer be the case in terms of eating frequent large amts. Can anyone tell me if I will be able to enjoy any of the food in solid form 3 months out. Am I fooling myself and wait until after the vacation. Any advice would be much appreciated.:blushing:

Just today, I scheduled my first appt. with a a nurse specialist to begin my journey to a healthier life! With a BMI of 40 and probably another 2 months of meeting with PT, Psych, dieticians etc, I'm inclined to begin an exercise routine and try to reduce some extra weight prior to the actual surgery. My worry is my BMI will decrease and knock me out of my chance for lapbanding. I know I have gone over the "deep end" when I stress over decreasing my BMI. How nuts is that?:blushing:
