I will be going on vacation to the beach in a few weeks! I am really excited to get away with my family! I am somewhat worried about eating. I know we will eat out a lot and when we don't I will need something to eat besides what my sister makes for the kids. All the other adults will

Just eat "whatever." I need snack and meal ideas. We're going to Florida which is about an 18 hour drive. Any suggestions are appreciated!!

I am LOVING the Smithfield meat and cheese rolls they have a Walmart now! If you can find them grab some they are only a buck a piece.post-237766-0-27337000-1436243233_thumb.jpg

Sargento Balanced Breaks! They have cheese, nuts, and dried raisins and 7g of protein-- it's a perfect pocket portion! Also I like the Oscar Meyer P3 Protein packs, has variety of meats, nuts, and cheese. There's also in the same section at Walmart at the P3 packs, a protein wrap, similar to the one above... But has 14-15g of protein! I can only eat half of these at a time but they're satisfying. These are my top 3 go to snacks! They're not heavy and don't make me feel stuffed! Also, Fairlife milk has 13g of protein per cup... I drink the chocolate- it's heaven! Good luck and have fun at the beach!

Here are some other ideas...

Turkey Jerky - beef Jerky. There are to single serving go packs now (check grocery store).

String cheese singles - can be out of the fridge for hours

Quest Bars - love the lemon one

Bring Protein powder and a mixer - take this on every trip with me. Quest has single serving packs - and they are not horrible tasting

P3 Oscar Mayer packs - Lunchables for adults (nuts, cheese and turkey)

Bring tupperware - when you go out to dinner - order like normal but make portions for leftovers (Breakfast and lunch) - hopefully you have a fridge.

And remember - vacation is about getting out and doing stuff not eating.... Have a great time. You will love how you can play and do more than before.

      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.
