Travel question



Recommended Posts

I'm in a similar situation. I have a cruise planned mid September. I could have had surgery anytime this month but chose to postpone my surgery for a week and a half after I get back from the cruise. I'm sure I could have managed and still had fun but lets be honest....I already purchased the drink package...I'm obligated to not let that go to waste! ;) I'm super happy with my decision. I can fully enjoy my trip then come home and get ready for the big day. By the time I'm ready for my next vacation, I'll be adapted to my new WLS life style.

PS When I visited Paris, I walked around like crazy. All the museums and sites and not to mention all the delicious carbs!!! I'm glad you are postponing your trip! I would have been sad for you if you hadn't hahaha. Good luck and have fun!!

Yes! Can't let those drinks go to waste! And just think next vacation you will feel and look fabulous! That's what I keep telling myself. Good luck to you too! Have fun on your cruise!

I went on vacation at 6 weeks but out was relaxing at the beach and was fine. But I had no energy at 2 weeks. At that point I was still trying to drink enough. I'd ask them if they can put you on the schedule for right after your trip.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
