dabear99211 Posted April 12, 2014 #51 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I'm sure he has very strong opinions on smuggling liquor on board as well, and isn't afraid to tell people how he feels. :) That would be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise pup Posted April 13, 2014 #52 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I've taken many cruises since my surgery in August and have lost weight on all of them. I chose my foods wisely and like I already reported, my stomach tells me when to stop. I love the variety available. I don't keep much food at home since I don't usually want the same thing more than once so I have ordered a few things and then just have a little bit of this and that. When the waiters ask if I didn't like something I always tell them it was delicious but that's all I can eat. Most times I leave before dessert unless I can get berries or some other fruit. Occasionally I'll order something sugar-free but half the times I have a forkful and then leave the rest over. Everything's been prepared in advance so I'm not concerned with wasting it. It would go to the fishies anyway. I never touch alcohol (heard too many bad stories about weight loss surgery grads who developed drinking problems afterwards) and I try to be as active as possible. Try to swim a lot and walk (although my arthritic knees keep me from doing much of that). I found that I can go on cruises and not make food the center. I found that the surgery changed the way I think of food. Not that I hate eating but eating is just something I need to do. It used to be my favorite pastime but no longer. It was worth giving it up to be 60% of my former size and clothes shopping is fun now instead of torture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyPC Posted April 13, 2014 #53 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I find if I bring a package of lance type crackers w/me - or peanuts I don't get too hungry (and forget to eat slowly and CHEW). I just a few in a plastic bag help me out a lot! Have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
