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.

      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.
