Looking for cooler bag recommendations



Recommended Posts

I'm looking for recommendations for cooler bags for meal prep. I have found several on Amazon and I am confused. I live in Arizona so I need to make sure the stuff stays cool. Anyone have ones they love?? Thanks!

I have a Jaxx fitpack and its great. I live in Qatar and it's about 105 outside now. I work in a cooled building but typically keep it on my desk throughout the day and the things i don't eat are still cold when I get home. When I go on outings and leave the bag in the HOT car, I use two icepacks and so far, this has performed well for me.

They have a ton on the website.

I also use a insulated thermos thats keeps things at almost the same temp throughout the day. Never have a problem with wanting cold Water as long as you keep the top closed when you aren't using it.

I have a buddy that swears by Yetti products but I've never used them.

I have a yeti mug and it totally works to keep everything wicked cold for hours. I'm fascinated by these jax bags now. Gotta go shop!

I use this lunch bag from PackIt. Put it in the freezer at night, cooling gel built in. Keeps stuff cold all day - even if I don't eat it, yogurt is still cold when I get home. I use this when I go to the office twice a week. (Other days I work from home.)

I love my Yeti- definitely worth the money. Keeps ice from 7am when I leave for work until well after 7pm.

I'm definitely interested in that Jaxx bag- I've heard good things about it from others as well.

      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.
