Any fellow roadwarriors?



Recommended Posts

Anyone out there traveling regularly (every week or every other week) for work? How do you cope with the constant temptation at restaurants? How about meals with clients/colleagues? Will be getting banded on May 15th and expect this will be my hardest issue...any advice?

Plan ahead and use Protein Bars where possible. Try for Breakfast meetings, eggs work well. At restaurants go for appetizers, they are smaller servings. Ask for take out boxes up front, and place all but your allocate portion in the box before you start eating. Do you plan to tell people you are banded? It might make it easier for them to understand.

I'm a road worrior, and I'm getting banded in the morning, and I think about this all the time I think the key is planning. I worry about working Markets and how we eat and how I'm going to have to change.......just plan... you can do it!!!

Thank you both for replying! Protein bars never did satisfy me in the past...but perhaps all that will change with the band? It's so difficult trying to imagine how things will be...everyone seems so different..I guess I'll just have to wait and see :-) CindyA, best of luck to you tomorrow, I'm really looking forward to hearing your story! Are you a driver or a flyer? I fly most of the time and boy, those airplane seats are a great motivator :-)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
