I travel with Protein drinks all the time. I have a "blender bottle" which has a little round ball inside to help mix. Before I get to the airport I put Protein powder and crystal light drink mix into the bottle, take it across security and then find a Water fountain to complete the shake. I also bring Protein Powder in tupperware and individual packets of crystal light for the rest of the trip. I ALWAYS get stopped for the Protein powder and they check it for explosives, so pack it on top for easy access.

You can also find miso Soup in individual packets which you can make in any hotel room with hot Water from a coffee maker. This is a perfect broth. You have to pack the miso Soup in your liquids and gels bag if you don't check your bag. Hope is helps! Linda

@sue on my way back at San Diego airPort I bought a chicken Soup at the counter and only had the broth and the only reason this happenned to me was because my "cup o noddles" I accidentally packed in my luggage...otherwise I would have asked or bought hot Water for tea and poured the contents into the cup of noodlesnand again only had the broth. The reason i like the cup o noodles is bc well it comes in a Cup so in don't have to worry about packing a container etc. Good luck with your procedure....I'm out 1week 3days and feel amazing. I'm sure you will too

      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.
