marinewife78 33 Posted October 10, 2012 We're moving from CA to NC on Monday morning ... What a long drive to make ESP being just 2 months post op. what's the hardest part is our friends and family along the way are so nervouse on what to feed me, and I am afraid to hurt feelings. I been telling them don't worry about me lol pretend I am not there!!! I never know what I want I deal with it day by day. Does anyone have any good suggestions on eating on a good long trip?

itzme752 24 Posted October 10, 2012 I'm 2 months post op too and going on a long trip in a couple of weeks. I've started to stock up on Quest Protein bars cause my surgeon wants 5 small meals a day and I know we won't be stopping that often so I'll have half of one every so often to get my Protein in. I'm also going to take a little cooler with bottles of Water to make sure I always have something to drink. And as far as eating out all restaurants have some sort of protein that you can have so that shouldn't be a problem. Even if you guys stop at a fast food place like McDonald's or wendys. A lot of those places now have wraps with grilled chicken in it. I just open it up and eat the chicken which is a good portion for us and throw the wrap away. Hope this gives you some ideas :-) Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk 1 BBdoodle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBdoodle 483 Posted October 10, 2012 I would bring a cooler like itzme752 says above with all your food. Even if you stop at a fast food place there is always something you can get to eat. Just don't skip your portein or Water - very important !!! The Protein Bars can be used as a meal supplement as well. Have a wonderful trip and be safe !!!

marinewife78 33 Posted October 10, 2012 Yes I have a cooler and my Protein Drink mixes on hand for the long drive. Looking forward to going home but not the long days lol!! I have stocked that cooler with Water since its all I drink I think I am more worried of my nerves playing games with my stomach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kristy3k 1,133 Posted October 10, 2012 If you are taking a cooler throw in some baby bel lights or string cheese. Portable and easy to eat on the go. Have a safe trip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
