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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
