Eating out

[gigglypug 77]

I did my first overnight stay for work five days post-op. That turned out to be too soon, as my job includes public speaking and I hadn't realized how much energy that requires (answer: more than I have when I'm on a liquid diet and recovering). The following week I had two days in AZ, which was better, but not perfect (I was on pureed foods then). I took my first multi-day trip in week three (major trade show) and that went fine, mostly because I was transitioning back to a regular diet....remember that there is a wide variety of post-op instructions out there, your surgeon may have you transition back slower or faster.

To answer your question I'm a technical specialist for a scientific equipment manufacturer and support the sales efforts of 14 reps...in the US, anything west of the Mississippi River plus (for some reason) Western TN plus BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba :-) When I'm on the road, the vast majority of my meals are social (with reps and often with customers as well), so nibbling on Protein bars in my hotel room is not a desirable option...still tweaking the band (I was banded May 15) but I would say I'm in the chartreuse section of the color chart.

My Fitness Pal ..app --- it is GRAND! In my phone and goes everywhere with me.

(Banded 6.21.13-first fill next Monday) I have found it very easy to order and eat GRILLED or BLACKENED FISH or Chicken' date=' sweet potatoes; generally split the meal or take 1/2 back with you. Also, I haev recently started ordering A GRILLED chicken BREAST ONLY from Wendy's - funny how the cost depends on which one I got to and who is working that day. prices have ranged from .99 - 4.89 for ONE breast. LOL!!!!!!

On occassion I aheva baked potato but make sure I count the calories for butter and sour cream. GOOD LUCK!! [/quote']
