I have a travel dilemma...please help



Recommended Posts

I had my RNY on March 16, even though I am on solid foods I do enjoy an Atkins EAS Protein Shake daily as a Protein booster (chocolate yum). Anyway, I will be traveling to Venice/Greece in May and am wondering if I should pack a 2 weeks worth of shakes ( a lot of weight in suitcase ) or try to find a place in Venice that sells them. I can't imagine being able to find them there. Any suggestions, or has anyone seen them in Italy/ Greece stores.

Why not just do powder?

Could you order them online and ship them to your hotel? Or send a request to the hotel concierge and ask if they have them in the area? Good luck!

I have looked for that exact brand in the UK without any luck! I ended up with powder and did fine.

I generally use Protein bars when I am on the go. Quest is a good brand. But since you had a RNY on 16 March, that may be a bit early to begin using these. Ask your nutritionist.

Thank you so so much for all your help. Everybody's input is really valuable to me. Sending them to the hotel would be an awesome idea only were going to be in Venice for one day and then a seven day cruise to Greece and then two days in Venice at the end. Otherwise that would've worked really well. I think I will have to go with the powder. Although I hate the powder it's the next best alternative. Thanks again have a great day everyone

You might be able to eat half a Quest bar at a time. They save me white traveling, especially on fly days.

      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.
