I Survived Eating On A Two Week Cruise



Recommended Posts

I'm so excited!

I'm about 12 weeks post-op gastric sleeve and I was worried about my pre-planned two week cruise and how I would manage to eat and stay on the right track. I was so good! I didn't eat a single dessert or Pasta or pizza. I had a cheese omelette every morning for Breakfast, salmon for dinner every night and various things for lunch but all making good choices.

I just got back late last night and weighed this morning and I lost 2.5 pounds during my two-week cruise! Hooray! I exercised in the pool every morning and did lots of walking and stayed hydrated.

I'm just so excited that I made good choices around all that ton of food on the cruise ship and still ended up losing weight! Hooray! Yippee!

Here's a photo of me from the cruise - I've lost 25 pounds since surgery 12/11/18.

Congrats! I’ve got one cruise scheduled next month, before surgery, and one in September. I’ve been wondering how I would handle the one in September. You’ve inspired me by your success and that you still enjoyed it. Great picture!

That's great. I am going on a cruise in November and have been worried. Mostly because in the past I have eaten a gluttonous amount, but I am glad you showed it cruising can be done with the right choices. You look great too! Thanks for the inspo!

I'm taking my mom on a cruise for Mother's Day and I was very concerned about how I'd handle it. Thank you for sharing your story, this makes me feel much better

Congratulations! You did so good. It can be a struggle to not give in to temptation while on vacation. (Didn't mean the rhyme).

Congrats!

We traveled on Cunard a few months before my surgery and I would have thought it’d be easy to keep on track on that cruise line because the portions in the main dining room were small and even the “buffet” was more of a cafeteria without a lot of serve-yourself options. Unfortunately the cruise lines that cater mainly to Americans are UNBELIEVABLY food-oriented.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
