 My mom is planning a cruise for the two of us at the end of the years and before when I went on cruises it was all about food. Now I know that has to be different and I'm perfectly happy about that but still pretty nervous. Any suggestions for cruising??

I have cruised since surgery and made the food part about eating right instead of eating a lot! I had more fun being active on shore excursions and walking the decks than I ever did before.

Enjoy the cruise in a new way :)

When I went on a cruise I simply selected the protein I wanted and left any of the potatoes, etc., on the plate.  I didn't find it necessary to make my private eating needs public.

Have fun!!

 I had so much more fun cruising after wls.  I looked at food only as fuel for my next excursion!  I did so many things that I would never have been able to do pre op and loved every minute of it.  Have a great trip!

I just went on a cruise and just ordered a normal meal but mostly just ate the protein and a few bites of veggies. Nobody asked why I did not eat that much. It was hard watching the other girls eat whatever they wanted knowing I couldnt but food was a small part of the trip for us.

I ate my three meals a day, anything I wanted and had a drink in my hand most the day. I lost 6 pounds! Go figure!
