To-go meals and snacks... No refrigerator needed?



Recommended Posts

I'm attending some day long meetings coming up and I will not have access to a refrigerator or microwave for my meals or Snacks. Most people will be eating out... I will likely have to bring a couple Protein Shakes but does anyone have any ideas for easy take-along snacks?

*not allowed nuts or crackers or beef Jerky yet... Only 35 days PO

I carry the tuna pouches with me when I'm going to be out and away from a fridge.

I often haul around a little cooler (the kind that with a strap that you can carry on your shoulder) when I have to be out and about for the day without a refrigerator. It holds a day's worth of food/protein shakes and the ice keeps it cold. I think mine cost $25 at Target.

Cookie chips (https://hannahmax.com/) and Good Thins (http://www.goodthins.com/) .. so yummy BUT pay attention to the serving sizes! Its all about Portion Control =D

**Sorry didnt see the no nuts/crackers ... but keep these in mind**

I've been doing "deli rolls" and they've been pretty good. I basically take a piece of lunch meat and slice of cheese and roll it up. You can try all kinds of meats and cheeses that work for you but I like the turkey and American and the ham and Monterey Jack the best. Also there are fruit cups and snack sized cheeses that I really enjoy and have worked well for me. Just be careful about the juice in the fruit because it could have a lot of sugar.

There are various Snacks for sale in the BariatricPal Store.< br>Also look at some of the powdered Soups. You should be able to get hot Water at any Starbucks or similar place. oatmeal packages too. The meeting may even offer hot water for tea that you can use.
I second the tuna packs. They are a great go to for me.

I do this also. My ice is still there at the end of the day! Bringing the lunchbox is good too because they always have bad food choices at work meetings. Prepare your own.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
