Road Trip, Need Some Take Along Food Ideas !



Recommended Posts

Next Wed, I will be driving from British Columbia , Canada down to Missouri. I plan on taking a large cooler as I need to take most/all of my food with me. I will be at the 3 week mark post-op that day. I figured on taking canned tuna, chicken, all portioned out, egg salad, protien drinks Water of course. Any suggestions on what else I can pack for eating on the road? I so far, have had no issues with any food with the exception of a piece of lettuce from a caesar salad . Thanks in advance for your help :)

cheese sticks, depending on what your doc allows at 3 weeks. drinks.

I'm pretty sure you can't take fruits & veggies across the border?

Acceptable foods at 3 weeks vary widely depending on the Dr. At Kaiser Fremont, we were allowed soft foods (no raw veggies or fruits and no beef) from 2-6 weeks.

I took several trips and brought:

Saltine crackers

Light cheese sticks

vanilla Protein powder

chicken Protein Powder

Starbucks Via Instant Decaf (good on its own or mixed with the vanilla Protein powder)

Greek yogurt cups

Low fat ham and turkey lunch meat (roll around a cheese stick for a different flavor)

Soy milk

apple sauce cups

Cottage cheese is also a good choice.

Have a great trip!

Maybe a few Protein Bars. I have picked up a case of Quest bars for our Disney trip. They store well and in a pinch a good for a Meal Replacement. Do not forget a Protein Powder or drinks and a shaker cup. Quick Protein and helps balance a day.

Thank you for the suggestions ! I will definately be able to stock my cooler with good choices to keep me on track & not hungry. I will buy fruits & veggies across the line. I will check my list for which ones I can eat at this stage, if I buy something I can't tolerate yet, my dogs will benefit from it LOL! They are born & raised on RAW so nothing will go to waste :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
