I wondered if anyone carries Protein with them in the car or their purse just to ensure you don't get stuck out somewhere between meals. I started carrying these little packets of almond butter from Whole Foods with about 2 Tbsp and $1 each.

Yesterday, I was in the phone store and it took forever. I waited 30 mins after last Water and opened a packet and slowly squeezed out the almond butter. It just hit the spot and kept me functional until I got home.

What else is a good portable Protein snack?

I use a half a Quest bar - just right! Also no chocolate coating to melt in the car.

I'm on the road all day and don't get a lunch break so I have to eat "on the go" everyday. I keep mixed nuts, Protein Bars, seasoned pumpkin seeds, whole wheat sesame sticks and beef Jerky in the vehicle at all times. I used to bring the tuna salad packets that don't require refrigeration, but they were too awkward to eat while driving.

Yes i have rtd Protein shakes...i just ask for a cup of ice anywhere and drink it...i also have small ziploc snack bags with healthy Snacks and yes the beef Jerky is a hit. Im never hungry and sometime im busy or hott and notice I feel funny and realize I have not ate and those snacks help until i can eat a real protein/veggie meal

Good point, my Atkins shakes don't need to be refrigerated so I can carry some with me. I also have some pork Jerky but I'm still on soft foods and moist meats so may need to wait on nuts and jerky. My little packets of Peanut Butter and shakes are just about right for me right now.

You can bring a shaker bottle with a scoop of Protein powder in a little bag. Keep the powder in the shaker. And break in case of emergency.

You can always find Water to mix the shake.

I carry an insulated lunch bag with one of those cold packs. I keep string cheese, baby bell light cheese rounds, a Protein Bar, forks, spoons, yogurt and a premixed shake. It's great for storing your lunch if you have meats or something you want to heat up.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
