Post-surgery hotel stay and flight back home- what did you eat?



Recommended Posts

I'm trying to figure out what to pack for my surgery next week. I'll have the two nights at the hotel, and then a full day of travel back to my home. What will I be able to drink...especially for Protein? I'm packing some Injury chicken Soup, and wondering if Protein Powder would be a waste of space in my suitcase. Plus, if I have to bring all those packets of powder back to the U.S. because I didn't use them, the Border Agents might pull me aside! :)

I think I just drank a Gatorade on the way back but I found a restaurant in the airport on the way there that had chicken Soup and I ate the broth.< /p>

I did the same. The hotel should provide you with your broth and icecicle. My Cordinator set me up with a nice basket of drinks and things to go home with and after I left MX I shopped all day in San Diego and dined on any broth that came in the available Soup on the menus.

You wont need Protein Powder. Just drink Water, gatorade and broths and you will be fine.

I brought bullion cubes and asked the flight attendant for a cup of hot Water. Easy peasy!

This is why I love this forum. I was wondering the same thing especially since I'm going alone. How would I get my liquids in while I am in a hotel. I think the unjury chicken broth is a good idea and maybe some of their unflavored protein to mix in Water with crystal light. I'm getting sleeved by Dr. Alvarez on march 2nd. Good luck to you.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
