I don't think it will be any different than being at home. My band will control the amount of food I'll be able to eat. Yes,, there's going to be a big selection of food, but I'll have to be selective myself and choose wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezebelanne Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I was banded on July 31st and went on a cruise on Sept 12th for 10 days. I waited on my 1st fill until after I returned. I was feeling little to no restriction so I ate what I wanted but tried to keep the portions within reason. Still, I overrate and had dessert almost every night. I gained 4 lbs which came off within 2 days of being home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawkchick75 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I leave for Vegas next Thurs - AKA buffet central!!! My plans are to take snacks w/ me and to just follow the rules - proteins first, then veggies then carbs. It will be a royal waste of food and my money since the buffets cost like $20, but that is pretty much how my life works now anyway so i'm used to it. I'm also gonna try to work in pool or other types of work out time while i'm there and I figure we will be doing a lot of walking. I just have to watch my alcohol content since it's free booze while you gamble - yikes! Have fun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothereanymore Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I've cruised a few times since being banded. I like it since the food is included - I just get what I want - do what Shelby says - follow the rules and have small bites of everything. I never gained weight – took full advantage of the gym and stayed really active –I always lose weight on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
