I carry a handbag. You could carry a murse. ;)

I don't know. I guess my Maxpedition bag would qualify, but it doesn't usually go to the shop. It rides in the truck.

Are they on the site here? I will have to check them out.

Bring along a can of tuna with the pull top, some mayo, mustard, salt, pepper,hot sauce, in little packets as an emergency meal. I keep it at all times. It has come in handy when I forget I need to eat on a schedule now!

I love tuna salad :)

We call it "cat food". Well, I call it cat food. Mrs LittleBill either glares at me or just rolls her eyes. I stock up on it when it goes on sale at the grocery store.

I have the same problem on the weekends. During the week I eat at 8,10,12,2 &6. But on the weekend when I'm running around like a crazy person I tend to forget to eat! Before I know it it's late in the afternoon and I am very irritable [emoji16]. I now keep Quest bars in my car, in my purse and in my gym bag

I do the same thing when I'm on a project in my garage. It was nothing to go all day without being hungry. Unfortunately I'm shorthanded at work and that puts me on the road 90% of the time and I'm definitely struggling :(

@ That "on the road" stuff gets real old real fast. I don't travel anymore for work, but I can drive 100 miles in a day just running various errands. I've been stashing Protein bars and even some canned shakes in my truck, but with the onset of colder weather, freezing is an issue. The shakes will be the big problem. With the bars, I just have to remember to put one in my pocket and let it warm up a bit before trying to gnaw on it.

The cold is good as far as being on the go. (I work out of my car many days, so...) I keep Water in my car of course, but every day I pack a little cooler with cheese, Jerky, almonds, ham or turkey slices, whatever and throw it in the passenger seat. At the end of the day I put the perishables back in the fridge and pack them back up the next day.

@@LipstickLady Yabut! You're in Virginny! It's COLD cold up here. When I leave my Water in the truck overnight, I don't have any Water for the next day because it turned into a giant ice cube. For example, it is 21° here right now. The wind chill is 5°.

I like the little cooler idea though. It would make meals a little more interesting while driving around.

      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.
