Traveling! What can I bring on the plane!



Recommended Posts

I'm traveling for work and I want to bring a ziplock bag with Protein powder, Quest bars, etc. Has anyone had experience bringing this on a plane in a carry on? That stuff is expensive and I don't want it thrown away!

I used to carry granola bars in my pocketbook all the time. However regulations change frequently. Your best bet is to check the TSA's website.

I just flew to CA and had a 100 cal pak of almonds in my purse and a Quest bar. My other Quest bars, almonds and Protein powder were packed in my checked luggage. I didn't need any Protein Powder during my flight It was only 1 hour and 15 mins. :) But if I had I would have put a serving in a very small Tupperware/Rubbermaid container and carried it thru too.

It's really the liquids that they are concerned with mostly.

I had the individual serving of nectar. I put three of them into my Blender Bottle. No trouble with TSA.

To clarify these were packets of the powder. I mixed as needed with bottled Water. Since I don't like lumps I also carry a small strainer to strain it.

I'v traveled several times with Protein powder and Quest bars, no problem at all. You should be good to go!

I travel frequently with job and have no problem with non liquid food items. Protein powder, Jerky, tuna foil packs, nuts, cheese, Protein Bars, salads, salmon foil packs, and various other assundries. 90% of the time I get through with yougurt as well, but last time TSA made me leave my toasted coconut behind. I will say that you can always stop at a grocery store when you arrive as well, provided you have refrigerator in your room. I do it almost weekly! Don't forget a plastic fork for your tuna packs!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
