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 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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
