Eating While Out Of Town, 4 Days In A Hotel (Business Trip)?



Recommended Posts

Hey Banders-

I am leaving town & will be spending 4 full days in a hotel for an amazing training with my in home party plan company. I have gone many years in a row, but this is my first trip being banded. I know for a fact eating 3 meals isn't really an option during this trip, so I am trying to come up with some ideas to get me through in a good way. Last night I went shopping & purchased beef Jerky, chicken salad & cracker kits along with Protein Bars. I also plan to bring hard boiled eggs & lunch meat to keep in my cooler along with whole grain tortillas. Am I on the right track?

My nutritionist will be calling me tomorrow for a phone discussion based on my above thoughts, I just want to see what you guys think & if you all have suggestions to offer. Thanks so much B)

My best advice is to come prepared. This is something that I'm still trying to get the hang of - - planning my meals since I have limitations now (can't exactly just grab a cheeseburger and fries on the road anymore). I'm still learning, and have found myself stranded a few times. Convenience stores are REALLY hard to find healthy Snacks in!!

I'm going to Vegas in September for 5 days with family - - family that is already planning buffet trips! I let them know that the morning we arrive I need to hit up a grocery store and I plan on getting my "normal" Snacks - Greek Yogurt, string cheese, fruit, etc since a buffet will be a waste of my money.

It sounds like you're on the right track!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
