Pre Op Diet While Travelling

[kins117 104]

It is very likely that I will end up in my 2 week pre-op diet while in Europe for a week on a business trip. Am I crazy to think I could check a suitcase full of Protein Drinks and make this work? I really don't want to delay my surgery since I need to be able to travel again in May without cutting it too close. I know I can't carry on any shakes since they are over 3oz, but I'm hoping a suitcase of Protein drinks would make it ok and not be an issue in customs. I would also have to skip the "lean dinner" on my plan that is chicken and vegetables every night and truly just be on Protein Shakes those 5 days. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I went on a 10 day cruise 1 week before my Gastric Bypass Surgery. Believe it or not I lost 7 pounds that week., The doctor told me if I gained 1 pound he would cancel my surgery. I ate great those 10 days, all Protein. Omelets for Breakfast, salad and chick for lunch and 2 lobster tails every night for dinner and even allowed myself desert. But I was up exercising everyday for 10 day.

Yes, you can pack Protein powders in your suitcase. You can travel with Protein packets by unjury so it would be easier to take with you instead of measuring it out from a jug & separating them with ziplock that might open. It was hard for me to consume a lot of protein so when you drink liquids there are many options of non-carbonated & diet drinks like Snapple, crystal light, etc...
