I was sleeves on the 11th. I'm leaving the 27th of September for a 7 day cruise... Has anyone else been sleeved then on vacation so soon?? We have tried do postpone but Carnival isn't working with us.

What did you eat?? What did you do??

Hats off to you!

Be sure to take your nausea meds along! And every other medication you may need.

I'll definitely have that on hand as usual.

I went on vacation while on my pre-op diet, which was awful, but not quite the same as 16 days post-op. Just from my experience with Carnival I have a couple of suggestions. Breakfast will be the easiest- they will have scrambled eggs, yogurt, and cottage cheese every day. lunch and dinner may be a little trickier, but they should have 1-2 Soups to pick from. If you're cleared for soft meats you can almost always find fish; just chew like crazy. I still would have been on pureed foods so small amounts of mashed potatoes, refried Beans, etc. would all be put to use.

I would recommend bringing a Blender Bottle and some Protein powder. It might be difficult to eat as often as you need to. There is always food around, but with the exception of the traditional meal times, it's all sandwiches, burgers, pizza, etc. So being able to mix some Protein Powder on the go might be helpful.

Carnival may not be very helpful when it comes to changing your cruise date, but they've always been accommodating to my food allergies and if you feel comfortable telling them about your restrictions, I bet they would go above and beyond to help you. But I also don't blame you if you don't want to tell them.

Have a great time,and good luck!

Thank you for info. We have try to postpone and they are being jerks about it. So I'm at a loss with not going.

I will be in the clear liquid stage. Like the eggs and Soup...

I went to England 5 weeks out! The day after I left, I started the solids stage, though, so it was a bit easier. Are you allowed protein shakes? Those definitely saved me at breakfast time! And I pretty much lived on eggs and cottage cheese during that stage! I'm not sure if this was helpful or not! Have fun and good luck!!!

Thank you.. Anything is helpful. Yes, I have protein shakes if I could find away to get them down. ????

I went to Universal studios and rode the roller coasters on week. 3. You should be fine...great walking on the deck, healthy choices for dining, great gym...should be a blast. Continue to heal on the high seas!!! Wunderbar!

Instead of canceling or rescheduling cruise try getting in touch with the special needs department at Carnival and see what, if any, options they might have for you.

Thanks for the advice ????
