Flu, NSV, and Question about Cruising
I got back from my trip to my dads last Wednesday and woke up Thursday morning with a flu that landed me in the hospital 6 days later dehydration ugh it was bad never have I felt so bad before after lots of fluids and rest I am finally well and I have been to the store a couple of times and let me tell u I haven't been in as much pain as I had before and I wasn't so out of breath I am very proud of myself for that, I need to keep walking to prepare for this cruise in three months, does anyone have any tips for cruising and being a big girl things that I should know?
I don't have any cruise tips for you, but I hope you are feeling better!

I love cruising! Hence my user name. Have been on 16 (would be more but gotta save $$$). Several of them (except for my last one) I weighed over 330 pounds. The highest weight I cruised was about 430. Feel free to message me to ask any questions.

I just got back from a cruise yesterday! I'm a few days shy of 5 months. I brought lots of bottled water with me, and premade protein shakes (with a doctors note, they let me carry on everything I wanted). The walking track on Carnival cruise ships is great. I also enjoyed just roaming around the ship early in the morning, I had it all to myself! Take the stairs instead of the elevator, you'll be surprised at how often you'll use them! It's doable to eat well, the good choices are there, and the kitchen staff is willing to work with you. However, the bad choices are there too, so just be aware!
