Traveling rny peeps...



Recommended Posts

I don't know how the ones after surgery travel for jobs pleasure or whatever. Left for San Antonio Wednesday to see my daughter graduate from airforce basic training... Here until Sunday... And it's tough. Takes a lot of planning.. Also the stress of no scale... Yes I am a scale-aholic!! Making me crabby!! Upside so proud of my daughter. She graduated with honors... Top 10% of her class!!!

Congrats re: your daughter! I'm going to be away for 9 days at 2 months out. I'm going to be working with my nutritionist to figure out what to bring with and what I'll need to buy at a local-to-my-hotel grocery store while I'm gone. It's going to be a lot of work, but I wouldn't miss my trip for the world!

I'm traveling to Puerto Morales when I'm right at two months out. I've already discussed with my nut that I might be living off of shakes for those 8 days if there isn't allot for me to choose from. Yes there will be tons of fresh fruit ect, but my plan does not allow that for some time.

Thanks SO much! I just ordered a variety pack of Syntrax nectar singles after reading your post. That will come in SO handy when trying to deal with TSA in case they make me throw away my Isopure (despite me planning on having a doctor's note to try to help my cause). Gotta love back-up plans! :) :) :)

Ohmygosh, HUGE victory - I just called the hotel where I'll be staying for my trip, and not only are they willing to accept a delivery of groceries for me a day before I get there (local grocery stores don't deliver on weekends, and I'm arriving on a Saturday), but the hotel is also willing to accept grocery deliveries mid-week (for replenishment), so I won't have to miss any of my beading classes! SO grateful, this will make trip planning a zillion times easier. I'm glad I called to find that out as well, rather than trying to suck it up and go grocery shopping after a day of traveling. Shout out to Hilton for being so accomodating! :) I'm making this happen, darnit! :)

Don't mix the shake until you get through security. You have to buy Water on the other side. I had 14 packets of Protein Shake and all my nuts too. They are concerned with liquids. Once you pass through buy a water and shake away. Glad I could help.

      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.
