when i would travel, I would order Soups at restaurants, pudding, yogurts, anything thak would be soothing. My stomach really preferred soups though. It also helped with fighting dehydrations. :)

i haven;t tempted eating out yet. but yesterday i had a graduation party and was at my father's today. i didn't know what to take with me and i knew there wasn't gonna be anything that i could eat. so i ended up leaving early so i could eat at home, not that i wanted to eat but knew i needed to. uggggggggggg

I tend to throw a cheese stick or cubes in my purse. Later when you can eat more, I also take nuts, beef snack bites.

My surgeon and his nurses said to start getting used to carrying an insulated bag w/a cold pack in it and some of the things you can eat at any given stage. I found a metal bento box system at Amazon that I plan to use, both for taking to work or when I know I'm going to be out for several hours. I also found on there an insulated lunch bag that looks like a purse. It's got a pocket on the front that will also help for those days when I'm just taking my phone, keys and ID but will be out long enough that I'll need possible re-fueling.

With an insulated bag and cold pack, you'll be able to take cheese, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, lunch meat- all kinds of stuff.

I always keep a bag of almonds in my car and purse as well as Ill toss cheese cubes, an apple or an orange n my bag when i know i will be away from home. Keeping the nuts on hand really helps

      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.
