We are moving in Oct but my kids are going to stay with my parents next weekend to start school there instead of switching in 2 months. I have to meet my mom half way instead of either of us driving the whole distance, but once I drop them off I will be by myself (other than my 3 year old). Round trip it will be about 13 hours... so my question what type of things can I take to snack on once I get tired and have to stay awake til I get home? The only non-messy thing I can think of is grapes. Please help!

I don't know how draw our you are but nuts, Jerky, Protein Bars are good. You could always do a cooler with hard boiled eggs and yogurt.

I went on a road trip recently and took a little cooler with yogurt, cottage cheese singles, mini baby bell cheese, some lunch meat, and a pack of pre-made tuna salad.< /p>

Grapes are high in sugar so don't know if they are a great option. There's a low carb pita with only 50 calories if you are allowed to have that, make a turkey and cheese pita with mustard and light mayo. If you can't, just make deli eat and cheese Roll ups and pack in a small cooler, along with a RTD Protein Drink, bottled Water and some almonds. All easy to eat and drive.

      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.
