Cruise 6 weeks after surgery

[rocknrollmama1980 20]

I guess carnival will be saving a lot on my ticket!

Has anyone travelled this soon out? We already booked the trip. I'm not worried about temptation. I just don't want to die:)

You will be fine. I drove a 2 week road trip for Texas to Florida 4 weeks out.

I'm going to be brutally honest- I don't think there is any way I would go on a cruise only 6 weeks out from surgery. There's no going back now for you, but I would have put it off to at least 3 months post-op. JMHO. I wasn't even on regular food until 8 weeks post-op.

You will be fine. food will not be the focus of the trip for you. I was released to all foods at 6 weeks out just could not eat much at all. Also some foods don't agree with you at this early time. Enjoy all the activities and the people. Have a great time.

I will be on normal food by then too. I think I am most worried about the black jack table:)

6 weeks out you should be fine. Bring a reusable water bottle and stay hydrated. And study the menu for the healthiest Protein option. Possibly even a kids meal or tell the head of the dining room that your a weightloss patient. They may have another meal option for you. And whatever you eat, chew chew chew and chew some more until its mush.

You will be fine. By 6 weeks out you are able to enjoy all foods and trust me that will not be your focus. I went to Canada less than 2 weeks out. You will be fine. 6 week out you should be getting your Proteins from your food and not the drinks so you may not even need to walk with the Protein Drinks but I would walk with the powder just in case.

I did it and had a great time. Didn't lose any weight that week, but first cruise ever I didn't gain so I considered it a win!

I've been on 4 cruises in the last 4 years (all with my lapband in place) and only gained weight on my last cruise (this past May to Alaska) because my band was unfilled awaiting revision surgery for a slip. Make sure you get an RX for Scopolamine Patches for behind ur ear. The first cruise I was so seasick (had no clue I even got seasick) I actually lost a couple lbs! Works like a charm!

There r many healthy option in both the dining room and buffet. Don't forget about the chocolate buffet (Carnival does it everytime)! Over 120 varieties of chocolate. Just a few bites will do ya!

Have fun! Where r u going? We're hoping to do the Carnival 16 day to Panama Canal in Jan 2015. Lots of time to save $...

Thanksgiving cruise to Mexico, Belize and other places I'm blanking on

I'm at five weeks today and wish I was going crusing next week! The only concern I would have for me is exhaustion. But we like to do a lot of shore expeditions which you may or may not be planning. The food would not a problem for me right now. It's not like you can eat enough to do any serious damage anyway.

Ha I though I was bad. I was sleeved on Aug 28 and have a cruise in October...hopefully by then my life will be back to normal.

Cruising right after the New Year. I'll be on real food by then which I am very thankful. I know cruising this time will be different for me. Food will not be the focus. Woo Hoo!
