Congratulations on your weight loss. Lucky you a cruise...I wish!!

What is your post op diet plan? Will you be on/off mushies at the time of the cruise? You should check with your doctor if you are unsure, but if it was me, I would delay having any fill added until you got back as sometimes you have trouble eating or get pain if you get to much fill. You might not lose as much weight, because it is easier for you to eat, but at least you know what you will be able to eat and you can enjoy yourself. There is plenty of time for a fill when you get back.

How long is your cruise for?

You'll probably do okay, just keep to the post op plan...mushies and liquids because you will only be about 3 weeks out. Soups, very light fish filet, cottage cheese, be very careful when you eat out on board. Make sure you know where a bathroom is (just in case) in the dining room. Be super attentive when you eat....tiny tiny tiny bites....even though you are on mushies, this is still important and you can get yourself into trouble if you forget. Put your fork down between bites. Good luck! You've already lost a pile of weight there! Doing great!
