GalFitness19 Posted July 26, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Have never seen anything of the sort. I always bring my own, mainly for excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely go into it with a plan. The best thing for us was just to split most things. I think I've kept the shakes around because I'm super lazy most mornings and they become my breakfast.

They are great -- but the original recipe was better before they changed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickandJonsmom Posted July 27, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Congrats. I will be just a year out from my sleeve survey. My plan is to bring a few shakes. In case!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzin2paradise09 Posted July 27, 2016 #12 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Bring your protein bars. You'll do fine on the cruise. Plenty of protein choices. I cruised 9 months after my gastric bypass last December. Was very easy. Congrats on your loss so far!

You can bring on the premier protein premade shakes in the cartons! Or bring powdered and have bottled water sent to your cabin.

Rare crewsweeper Posted July 27, 2016 #15 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I'm not a doctor nor have I ever had to undergo gastric sleeve surgery. But, may I suggest you go out to various websites, like zydecocruiser's and pull up the menus and show them to your primary care doctor and determine what you can eat, can not eat, or maybe try to eat, depending on where you are in your journey. No matter what, do bring as many boxes of your favorite protein bars as you can or want to pack. Add the bottled water from Bon Voyage. And best of best in continuing your journey/recovery and for expressing your concerns about not falling off the wagon.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaMommy75 Posted July 27, 2016 #16 Share Posted July 27, 2016 No. My husband and I always pack a couple boxes of protein bars (especially for port days). Protein powder is also great to pack...can easily add to a milk carton from Lido deck, oatmeal, coffee, etc. [emoji846] Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My weight lifting friends say be sure to drink a LOT of water! Maybe at least a half gallon a day. But they're swigging over 100 grams via that protein powder. Best.

Anung Un Rama Posted July 27, 2016 #19 Share Posted July 27, 2016 How exactly does bringing protein powder onboard work? I certainly don't want to bring my big tub when I will only need a few scoops for the week. Will they allow it in a plastic baggie or some other sort of container?

Zeta3 Posted July 27, 2016 #21 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I bring bars and Only Protein brand protein powder packet sticks. I like the sticks for longer excursions because they are easy to pack and carry and I can usually find a cold bottle of water to mix it with when trying to avoid the carby snacks that are typically offered/available.

Good for you! I always have protein bars w me, something to gobble down while on excursions and such. I'll choke down any brand as long as the protein to sugars is 5 (or greater) to 1 (grams of protein to grams of sugar). If the taste is too bad, a quick smear of peanut butter hides that. BTW I've not ever seen any bars on board. Depending on the time of year and what I'm working to gain/lose, my diet can be as "low" as 125 grams of protein to as "high" as 250 grams.

I measure one shake into a snack-sized zipper baggie. I can pack about ten baggies into my shaker bottle to stuff in the suitcase. Easy peasy.

I usually just pour a bunch of servings in tupperware and then pack a scooper or use a plastic spoon but I like your idea better.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pack your scoops in individual ziplocks inside a larger zip lock so they don't dust your trunks and tees. Best to your lovely bride.
