Motorcycling and gastric bypass.

[GAWildKat 82]

Already had the surgery, 3mons postop now. As some know, riding season is on us. Normally riding with the hubby is an afternoon ride and we stop for lunch and/or dinner to accommodate my eating schedule. Fluids are a non issue as I own several camelpaks to use on the rides. However, we have a group ride/vacation planned for August this year, and the big ride day is a 12+hr ride day in the North Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina Mountains, there is a stop for lunch planned, but Breakfast and dinner are on our own. I can scarf a boiled egg for Breakfast, but what can I pack as non perishable Snacks that meet the dietary guidelines postop? Nuts I already tolerate well and eat on occasion as a boost if I feel tired while out running errands. So I thought about that as an idea. But I need veggies I would think. Can y'all help me?

I keep on hand StarKist lunch To Go, Albacore tuna in Water. It comes with reduced mayo, a spoon, napkin and you mix it up in it's own tray. It doesn't require refrigeration and it has 18 grams of Protein. I buy a box of them at costco. You can also buy just the single serve tuna if you are able to eat it dry and it only has 80 calories.

I ride too. I am 9 months out and always have nuts and a Protein Bar or shake on hand. Just in case they stop somewhere I can't eat. I have a small insulated lunch bag and have taken yogurt and boiled eggs, I put a freeze pack in it and it stays cold.

I ride a 250 cc scooter. I always carry Water and Protein Bars and glucose meter with me.
