Recommended Posts

Ok we may have to evacuate for Hurricane Dean and last time we had to evacuate it took us 32hrs to get somewhere it should of taken 5 for Hurricane Rita.I am just trying to prepare and needing ideas of food I can take on the road with me that does not to be cooked or cold.Last time we lived on chips and little debbies!! We were not prepared for a 32hr traffic jam with NOWHERE to stop.Needless to say I am praying for the Hurricane to stay on it's projected path(although we have a trip planed to Playa Del Carmen in Sept:rolleyes) Any ideas would greatly be appreciated!

You can never go wrong with protien bars. You can eat them just like a candy bar. They are good for you, keep hunger away and keep your blood sugar up! ;)

Other things:

1. pretzels

2. fruit roll ups.

lol...I am drawing a blank other than that. We went through Bertha, and another one in NC so I KNOW what you are going through! Good luck!

Some thoughts would be:

BumbleBee (great stuff)

Netrition's Kitchen Table Bakers Prices (great crunchy, carb free, Protein filled, crackers)

Syntrax Matrix 5.0 Protein powder (I travel quite a bit and keep it in my car at all times with bottled water)

Gift Baskets, Dried Fruits, Nuts (Veggie chips or dried fruit)

ready to eat meals, Camping, Hiking, Backpacking, Militaria items on eBay.com (Ready to eat meals)

My husband and I traveled by truck 22,000 miles in two months and I kept the flavored tuna and salmon cups ( my fav was cajun and honey BBQ, and good source of protein), rye krisp or simalar crackers, almonds, Jerky, Water w/crystal light to go. I also have a small crockpot that plugs into the lighter socket and I baked Marie Callenders, dry mix, just add water corn bread (while moving) it bakes in about 1 hour. I also have a plug in pot that heats water for cup of Soups or broth. Both items can be bought at most truck stops like Petro, Pilot, TA, or Flying J. Best of luck

Our Dollar General/Family Dollar in this area has a package of a little tuna/ham/chicken (your choice) salad and a little pack of crackers. We keep them in our RV. Not sure of calorie/protein/fat content tho. They are $1.10. Cant beat that. Also StarKist has the little 2.8oz cans of plain tuna. Scranle up some eggs with cheese or hard boiled eggs and put them in an ice cooler. I recently did the scrambled eggs and took them on vacation with us. Warm up real good in the microwave. Stay safe

ok so this is gonna sound...odd, but i love it

I make this for my school lunches and eat them as I walk around campus..

I take a slice of pickle, and put fat free cream cheese on it, then roll up a couple slices of thin sliced lunch meat...i know its some what odd but I like it because I can keep it in a baggie, and its different from things like tuna..bc I eat enough tuna that I might grow fins!!

Also suggestions, I buy these little oranges, theyre like less than a dollar a piece, and perfect for me, because they take a while to eat bc you have to peel, and still small, this way its not so noticable on the amount of food I eat :)

good luck with the hurricane..this is coming from someone who spent DAYS on the road bc of Hurricane Rita..

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
