Ok so tomorrow I'm going to be in the car for about 8 hours. I was wondering what I could take with me to eat. I'm still on soft foods and I'm having a hard time thinking of things I could bring that don't have to be kept refrigerated or cooked that have some Protein. I have not tried any Protein Bars yet because I haven't found any that are soft enough. I don't want to have to depend on eating out while on the road since the food can be so unhealthy. Any ideas are appreciated!

Can you bring a little cooler?? Yogurt, cottage cheese, SF pudding, SF Jello - things like that could all fit in a little cooler. You could bring a shaker bottle and your Protein mix, or pre mixed Protein drinks. Is it just for one day that you'll be traveling??

On the road you could get a scrambled egg, Soup etc.

Good luck!!

You will probably want a small cooler for Water at the very least, so include some premeasured scoops of Protein in individual sandwich bags.

I would also throw some string cheeses in there and some turkey Jerky. High protein!

I agree with the little cooler. We had to travel last week and I was on soft foods. I brought lots of light baby bel cheese. If you bring a cooler, in addition to what's already been suggested, you can bring deli turkey, deli ham, hard boiled egg, etc. With stopping to eat, I'd get the chili at Wendy's, kid's 4 count grilled chicken nuggets at Chick-fil-A, one of the Soups from Panera, Good luck and safe travels.

I got some of these little tuna kits. They don't need refrigerated. Also you can get Jello, pudding and applesauce cups that need no refrigeration.

      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.
