Food for Travel



Recommended Posts

I am flying in April to Florida (I like to plan ahead) for a wedding and then going to Disney World for a few days. What foods should I take? Or do I need to take food? I usually don't travel without backup like Protein bars/beef jerky/etc. I haven't been to Disney since I was 5, so can't remember much and things are different now. Any tips/recommendations would be great!

I would definately pack some Protein Bars, shakes and jerkey just in case you have a hard time for some of your meals.

I have not been there in years but what I do remember was overly expensive junk everywhere. This way you can have a few good quality options handy.

I hope you have a great time!

I took a trip to Arizona earlier this year and brought individual packets of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder and Quest Protein Bars with me. I did this mostly because I had a large supply on hand and room in my suitcase.

I was able to buy everything else (Jerky, almonds, etc.) at local stores in Phoenix. As long as you have access to a car in Florida, you should be able to pick up your supplies locally.

I went to Disney World 2 years ago with my mother and daughter. There is lots of junk food everywhere, but there are places where you can get fresh fruit and veggies. For restaurants it depends on where you go to eat. You can look at the menus online before you go and make choices before you get there. We ate at the Beasts castle for lunch on my birthday, and I was able to get the menu online and knew what I wanted before we arrived. I am still pre-op, and my only thought during that vacation was to enjoy myself, so I didn't pay that close attention to the food choices other than to go "Yum!" I would def take some Snacks to back you up between meals.

We go to Disney World frequently. Make sure to take Protein bars as a back up, but there are a lot of healthy options. If you don't like what one place offers, walk 50 feet and you will have all new options. Lots of protein and veggie options.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
