Pre-op diet and business travel

[SoCalDixieGal 172]

I have to brag for a moment because I did something this week never before done in my entire history! I frequently travel for business (50%+). This past Monday I flew from Southern California to Atlanta then on to Orlando before going home late Thursday night. There were lunches with colleagues, dinners with clients, more lunches with clients and colleagues, etc.

I lost 1 lb! So, it's not huge, but seriously, a pound! I took Protein shakes with me for Breakfast, made the best choices possible for lunches and did duck out of one team dinner where I had a shake in my room for dinner. Another night instead of sitting at the lobby bar, which would have been what I normally did, I walked on the treadmill. Instead of eating crap at the airport, I made a shake in my fabulous shaker bottle (those rock).

This week I start the pure liquid diet (ugg). There are two important client dinners that I have to attend. Will make the best choice possible there and do liquids the other meals. Then the week before surgery it's back to Orlando, shaker bottle in hand!

Yay, I lost a pound!

Well you brag right on. It is hard as heck trying not to eat around multiple individuals. Sticking to your guns!!! How about a round of applause. (Qween stands and claps loudly).

Good for you! I feel your pain! Day one of my 7 day clear liquid preop diet starts tomorrow, and I am out of town for a work conference where they provide meals. I still don't know how to handle lunch yet! I will be gone for 4 of 7 days of my preop diet. Pray for me!

Yeah, I'm at a conference the week before too. Cocktail parties, client dinners etc. I'm planning on excusing myself from the lunch and making a shake in my room.
