Long flight during pre-op diet



Recommended Posts

Hey there!

I'll have a 14 hours flight 7 days before my surgery. Does anyone has a tip for this kind of situation?

Thanks ????

So.........you're flying to Siberia or Venezuela from Newfoundlad? My best suggestion would be sealed sample packs and a shaker cup. Ask the flight attendant for Water. I buy bariatric supplies from bariatric pantry and Bariatric Choice all the time. Bariatric Pantry has a sample pack of Syntrax Nectars here:

I had to fly while on my pre-op diet, because I went to Mexico for my surgery. I brought individual Protein Powder packets and a collapsible funnel in my carry-op. I bought bottled Water at the airport and used the funnel to pour in the Protein powder. Since you will likely need more than one bottle of water on the plane, then maybe just keep asking the attendant for water and mix a little bit of protein in at a time, since those cups they give you on planes are tiny.

      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.
