Cruise three month post op?

[sally628 63]

We have a cruise scheduled exactly three month post op. My son has been in another country for a couple of years and is coming back home for it and it has been planned for over a year. I will be three months post op. Should I be nervous of traveling so soon after? Can't really change date as it was hard to find a date that worked for the whole family. Should it be fine? I'm not nervous about the food as by then I should be able to find something that

fits. Just have anxiety as it is first cruise. If all goes well, how should I be feeling by then?

I'm 7 weeks post op with gastric bypass. I honestly feel fine. Hard to imagine but it's true. You get creative with what you eat and I definitely think traveling will be just fine. Congrats and have fun on your trip

I went to an all inclusive resort 6 weeks post op and did fine. You do have to search a bit for food you can eat but I should be fairly easy on the cruise.

My partner and I went on a 3.5 week tour of SE Asia at three months post-op. It was completely fine. I follow a low-carb way of eating, so I was always able to eat within my plan and lifestyle (although I found that the food sat very heavy and I wasn't really able to eat much the entire time). I actually lost 13 pounds while on the trip. The good news about a cruise is that there is a myriad of food options available, so something will fit in your plan.

I can't imagine why you can't swim or go in the ocean at your point in your journey. I was cleared to do hydrotherapy at my spa (essentially a Water coffin) at 2 weeks, so I am sure at 3 months, you are fine. Ask your team to be completely sure.

Have fun!

Yes, you absolutely should be able to do any activities you like three months out. You will have a wonderful time!
