What do I eat on the way home?



Recommended Posts

I know I'll be on liquids after my surgery but what type of liquids? Clear only? I have a 7 hour flight home and I'm worried about what to"eat". Will I even be hungry or would buying some Gatorade be all I need.

I drank Gatorade and apple juice on my flights home. You have to buy it there at the airport. They won't let you take more than 3 oz through security.

Water with crystal light or another type of flavor thing would be good. Just stick it in your carry on and buy Water at the air port.

Good luck

You might want to call your doctor on this one. There are people here that were discharged from the hospital on Clear Liquids but I was released on full.

If it were me, I'd have several Syntrax packets that I could mix with Water.

Thanks for the replies. I'll have to find some kind of portable dry Protein Powder to mix in some juuce or something.

Cannot find that Vitamin Water Zero Revive anywhere. I've found the regular VW Revive but not the Zero. Not even on Amazon.< /p>

Not every place will carry every flavor. I order it from the coca-cola distributor when I make the order for the store. Also, if a customer promises to buy from me on a regular basis, I gladly stock products just for them, your local mom and pop will likely do the same. They can order a case of 24 with their Coca-cola order and the shelf life is usually 4 months on the Vitamin waters so as long as you promise to buy from them regularly, they might stock just for you.. I do it all the time for people.

I bought a gatorade at the airport. Then on the plane I had the attendant pour me half glass of apple juice and half Water. Was wishing they had Jello, but all I could find was yogurt which I wasn't aloud to have yet.

      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.
