Busy Weekend - Help



Recommended Posts

I have an extremely busy weekend with sporadic access to a kitchen or being able to sit for a meal. What kind of foods are easy, portable and don't need refrigeration. I'm 5 weeks out and on regular foods. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I would suggest investing in an insulated thermal lunch bag, the food would stay cold for a long time.

Suggested foods:

cheese sticks

Turkey or beef jerkey stick (Jacks Links can be found in Costco)

Lettuce/turkey/cheese breast roll-ups

Ham/Cheese rollups

Pickles/Cucumbers/celery with Peanut Butter

boiled eggs

If you have an insulated thermos you can have Soup.

Thanks Gemini. Your suggestions sound yummy but no coolers are allowed :( It's a bummer. I have a kitchen in my hotel room but will barely be there all weekend except for Breakfast and late dinners.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
