Cross Country RV Trip



Recommended Posts

In a few weeks I am flying out to Phoenix to pick up an RV and then drive it back to the East Coast. I will only be bringing a small suitcase with me and the RV will be empty (no plates, cookware, or utensils). I am about 4 months post-op and was looking for some meal suggestions for this week long trip. The RV does have a refrigerator, hot Water, stove, and microwave. My plan at this point is to stop at a Walmart after picking up the RV to pick up supplies for the trip. Here is my partial list at this point:

- Ready made Protein drink (Premier Protein)

- Small frying pan

- Paper plates

- eggs

- Cooked grilled chicken

- Yogurt

- Lunchmeat (turkey)

- Bottled Water

Any suggestions for easy to prepare meals for this trip would be appreciated.

Some kind of container you can use to cook in the microwave with would be good. Even disposable coffee cups will do to heat things in there as well as make coffee or tea. Cottage cheese goes with everything when you want Protein. Rotisserie chicken, good for meals or to pull apart and snack on. Protein Bars, low fat string cheese,nuts,canned tuna or salmon with pull open tops or in foil packs. Protein Powder can be sprinkled on or stirred into anything, powdered milk. Those are pretty much my must have when camping. Enjoy your trip.

Almonds and string cheese are great suggestions for a road trip. The good news is that I can bring home anything I buy along the way.

I am trying to avoid truck stops and greasy food joints on my trip.

I would get some jerkey. I think it's required to have some Jerky on a road trip LOL

if you have hot Water some single serve meal options would probably be convenient. They have oatmeal, macaroni, mashed potatoes, Soups....

I agree that a road trip across Texas requires Jerky.

I might visit my local Walmart to see what single serve options they carry. oatmeal sounds good. I don't usually buy single serve containers, but they make sense for this trip.

Don't forget a knife, fork ,and spoon to pull apart the chickens and to eat with plus some zip lock baggies as you will have lots of left over food to package up to place in the refrigerator. Good luck on your trip and I hope all goes well.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
