I travel for work myself. Protein bars are a life saver, along with Jack Links Beef Jerky. Also, most airports i go through have a smoothie king inside the terminal. So I order up one and carry it on the plane with me.

Well, I started with alot more than just 'some'.........now I have narrowed it down to just Quest bars and usually just the Cookies'n'Cream. At least one a day. ;)

Find which ones you like and keep 'em on hand. Real simple and easy snack with Protein boost. I have'em in the house and the car and take them everywhere for anytime. They are very convenient ready to eat.

Added note: Someone on here posted a tip about heating up Quest bars. When Nuked for about 8 seconds, they are a whole lot better. - Great TIP :)

      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.
