Leavin' On A Jet Plane



Recommended Posts

So I'm only 5 days out, I am going to North Carolina for a wedding September 4th. I need some feedback...

1. Suggestions on traveling with protien shakes. powder etc....

2. Dress for the weeding it will be 1 month after surgery... Do you think if I buy it tight now it will fit.... (I know this one is a lil vain, however it's my cousins wedding and I do need and want to look decent)

3. Will I be able to make a shake on the plane?? Just in case...???

Totaly CORN-fused and need help!! :-)

As I'm pre-op, I unfortunately don't have any suggestions for you. However, I was just wondering where in NC you're going to be? I live east of Greensboro. Plus, this will help get it bumped up so maybe you can get some helpful responses :)

You will be able to carry protien shakes on the plane with you, even if they are premixed. It falls under "medical necessity". I would advise calling the TSA perforce hand, they will email you a copy of the regulations that cover this. And they can also advise you on how to package and label it.

If you decide to go with powders then it's even easier. You can just buy bottled Water or milk inside the terminal

I'm going to Bald Head Island just outside of Wilmington. Never been on the east coast so I'm kind of excited! I'm a true Cali girl so i know it will be different!!

Thx for the info I'll be sure to call the TSA do you think I should get a dr. Note? I mean is it like school??

      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?

      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.
