Take the cruise!!! I had bypass 6 weeks ago and I'm good now! Full of energy. I know my limits and what I can an can't eat. I know cruise are all about the eating so it will be an adjustment! But like everything else, you will find other ways to enjoy yourself. I love cruises iv been on a lot. I just talked to my friend today about booking one for next year. I know I will ever eat what I use to, but now I'm going to and really enjoy myself in other ways instead of always focusing it around food! Good luck and have fun

One of my biggest challenges was reintroducing foods in to my diet. Eventually everything worked out but I used to love rice & if I think about rice now, UGH and Pasta, can't get pasta to stay down & it's been over a year. You just have to go slow & try try again!

I had my sleeve surgery on Monday September 26, and I have a cruise booked Nov 28. 8 weeks later. Booked the cruise over a year ago before I made the decision to start this journey. My surgery date was a little later than I planned due to delays from insurance. I hope 8 weeks will be enough time to be ready for the cruise. So far no issues with recovery. Any tips appreciated! It's a 10 day cruise to Panama Canal and southern Caribbean!

I had a trip planned when I got my surgery date. My surgeon said that as long as it was two weeks after surgery there was no reason not to go. (It was 3 weeks later).

Thankfully I had no issues or complications and the trip has gone well!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
