Traveling



Recommended Posts

One of my major concerns post surgery is that I travel a great deal for my current job. Although I have arranged to have have 1 month at home right after surgery i am concerned about being ready to be on the road again . I am also very concerned about how to navigate eating out . Any suggestions would be very welcomed. Thanks

If you're going to have a month off work, you'll be fine. There are a lot of things you can order eating out. For the most part, if I don't have someone to share a meal with, I order off the appetizer menu. Fish and Shrimp are always easy for me to eat. Soups are good choices too,

but they don't always stay with me as long. I've always been able to eat deli meat pretty easily too, so if I order a sandwich, I just take out the fillings and leave the bread.< /p>

Do you use Protein shakes and bars to augment meals? Mostly worries I will not be eating anything other then mushies and trying to travel.

I drink a Protein drink every day for Breakfast. I do use Protein Bars as Snacks.

There are a lot of things you can have on the mushie stage. Fish is a mushie, so is chili, tuna salad, basically anything that is

not completely solid, such as steak.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
