Traveling With Lapband Friendly Foods



Recommended Posts

I'm taking the kids on a long roadtrip to Disneyworld in 2 weeks. Ordinarily, we'd load up the car with beef Jerky, candies and chips for the 18 hour drive. I'd also usually pack Peanut Butter and jelly sandwiches and chips in a backpack for lunches while at Disney....however, obviously that won't work with my lapband. I'm having a hard time thinking of good, nutritious lapband friendly foods that would travel well without refrigeration and that I can pack for Snacks and lunches while at Disneyworld. Any suggestions??

I love Luna bars! Maybe try some of those packets of tuna. I haven't tried them, but they don't need refrigeration and they open easy so that may be an option.

I have had that tuna and it is preaty good. Also fruit and some vegies dont need to be refrigerated, and nuts too.

Public grocery stores sell 3oz cans of chicken. You could mix with single servings of low fat mayo. Also, freeze some yougurt or cheese.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
