Bringing Protein Powder On The Plane?

[MoreThanJustaPrettyFace 55]

Hi, all.

So, my surgery day is Tuesday and I'm going to see Dr. Ortiz in Mexico. That means my happy butt is going to be hopping on a plane.

It just occurred to me that I'm not sure how to go about getting Protein powder (I have the big two lb tubs) onto the plane. I can't rely on Tijuana having some for purchase once I get there. Haha.

Is it only liquids that are regulated by TSA or would powder be too?

I was thinking that I would just separate single servings into little bags, but is that allowed?

If it's not in carry-on, you're fine. I will be traveling this weekend and so I have a checked bag that I will be putting pre-made Protein Shakes in. I have read through the TSA site that medically required liquids are not subject to the Fluid rules, but don't know quite how you would get past that.

It's gonna have to be in a carry on because I'm not checking any bags.

I would phone the airline and ask them about it

I carried the powder on the plane just keep it in original container. I also took Protein Bars with me on the plain. Just no liquid.< /p>

I just googled it and found what TSA said.

powders aren't banned. It's all about liquids.

How long are you staying in Tijuana? I also had my surgery done there ( different surgeon ) and I was still on Clear Liquids three days after my surgery when I was flying back home.
