Why are you tempting yourself by going off of your plan? This change you've committed to won't take place by itself.

If you're taking a cooler pack tuna, cottage cheese, yogurt, ricotta,oatmeal, Protein Shakes pre-made, milk etc.

You CAN live your life, just don't mess with a good thing, you were given a 2nd chance to be healthy, embrace it!!

Def a no go on pizza or fries. We went to a movie and got fries and it was one if thr worst pains (pretty close to dumping syndrome feelings).I agree with the food choices listed above. Where does ur doc have u at 4 weeks post op for ur diet? Mune had me at puree stage, so even taking some pureed baby food is something that would work. Cream of wheat also works good

I'd take a lot of the tuna packs, a bunch of different cheeses, Protein shake powders to mix with Water (if they're individually packaged most bartenders will make them for you). Will it be cold enough that you can leave things outside and they'll stay chilled (and uneaten by critters)? Babybel cheese and laughing cow cheese would be easy to transport.

Or can you postpone the trip until you're further along?

At four weeks out there was no way I could of eaten pizza, fries or salads. Even though I was blessed with the sleeve of steel at four weeks my digestion was still a mess...

Premier Protein shakes are shelf stable, you might want to bring some of those. And if worse comes to worse and IF you're on real food by then???

A part of a burger patty (no bun) might work.

I agree, pack an igloo for healthily, high Protein Snacks or meals. Stay away from all the junk.. You committed to this change in eating lifestyle, so don't jeopardize your progress for a few days away..

Will the bars serve Soup? Mash potato and gravy? That might be a good option for when dining out? You could always be honest and ask them to prepare you something 'off plan'. As for 'in the cabin', you can't get better advice than that noted above. Best of luck :)

      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.
