Flying with protein?



Recommended Posts

For those of yall who have flown post-sleeve, how do you manage to take your Protein with you? Is there a particular brand of RTD you're carrying or....? We're booked for WDW in November and I hope by then I won't need to worry about supplementing protein but just in case I'm trying to plan for it. Any suggestions or experience?

I take Protein Powder and a shaker cup, but most of my flights are short for business so no checked baggage. Have you thought about Protein bars instead of RTD shakes?

Ya I have but I looked the other day at the store and everything I looked at (I think I spent 30 mins in that aisle) had entirely too many carbs. Do you have a Protein Bar recommendation that doesn't taste of dirty rhino butt? :)

The Luna Protein Bars in Cookie Dough are tolerable. 21 gms of carb for 12 gms of Protein. When I eat one, the rest of the day is meat only as I try to keep carbs under 30. When I am stuck somewhere mid-day with only a vending machine it's a better option than the machine. For powder I use GNC Wheybolic 60 somethingorother in vanilla--tastes to me like yellow cake batter.

The Oh Yeah bars have 15 grams of Protein and 7 carbs. the PB choc. are delicious. You can usually find them in a health food store. I order them online from vitacost.com where I order my Vitamins and Protein shakes. no shipping on orders over $49 right now. I like the choc. mint too. they are like a kit kat bar.

The costco premeire Protein bars are very big. The have 30 grams of protein for 23 carbs. I eat half at a time.

I always take protein bars on the plane. I have taken Protein Drink sample packets on trips with a shaker bottle but it's not my 1st choice. They don't mix well without my little blender.

Thanks for the input guys. I found a couple sampler packs on mybariatricpantry that I'm going to try. The Oh Yeah bars were one of them. Here's to hoping bc I'm REALLY getting tired of trying to choke back my shakes...flying or no flying.

      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.
