Thursday, the 22nd we are leaving on our 9 night southern Caribbean cruise...I am looking forward to all the delicious food choices, restaurants, and not to forget all the alcohol I'll probably be consuming laying in the bright sun on those white sand beaches and crystal clear turquoise Water....

But first, starting today, I'll go 3 days of liquids and mushie type foods, all sliders, to ensure my band is in tip-top shape...

We cruise often, and a year ago I decided to put my band to the test, eat what and when I wanted, and let the band do what it normally does everyday for me at home...it performed perfectly..as a matter of fact I lost a pound or two...although I'm sure my cholesterol was probably high...

I also bring Protein shots with me which I take every morning before my 5:30am workouts, along with my Vitamins and other supplements...and I cannot eat Breakfast no matter what so I still make my own shakes....just like I do everyday at home!

But I'm ready! Been waiting for this and it's almost here!!! 3 more days!

Sounds absolutely lovely. I'm envious! Have a wonderful time.....

What are the Protein shots that you take? Sounds like something I may want to check out.

:wub: So envious! I love cruising. Got back from our 9 day in June. Where all are you going? I took stairs when ever possible, did many walking tours, climbed a lighthouse to the top (amazing). Do you normally do the main dinning room or one of the buffets/cafe? I found that once I convinced the waitstaff the food was wonderful I just can't eat very much they went out of their way to help. And if something was just to hard for me to eat they brought me something else.

have a nice/safe trip
