Eating on the road/airports



Recommended Posts

When you couldn't pack or take your food...

I travel for work and on the rare occasion I need to buy meals at airports or on the road when I can't get what I need from a grocery store. I'm 8 weeks out from surgery and would like your ideas on what you have picked up at airports or fast food that is compliant. I can't tolerate chicken breast yet, so that limits me. So far I've bought a premade turkey/cheese sandwich and ditched the bread or bought the hummus/carrot/cucumber box. The only fast food I can think of that is compliant is Wendy's chili (which probably has too much fat).

(I'm fine when I can get to a Whole Foods or grocery store.)

I never had to limit fat so the chili was fine for me.

Another favorite of mine is the Starbucks Sous Vide egg bites. I get the egg white ones. Even now i can usually only eat one so the pair gives me a leftover for later!

Starbucks also has Siggis Icelandic yogurt which packs a huge Protein punch!

Thank you! I forgot about those egg bites at Starbucks. At the Oakland airport now and just grabbed a Dannon Light and Fit yogurt and a cheese stick. Ho hum.

I'm waving to you from BART.
They may be ho hum but good for you for sticking to the plan!

I'm planning for my first work trip at 8 weeks. I am putting together a care package I'm mailing to hotel as I refuse to check my bag.

I like to bring a shaker bottle and Protein Drink powders...like cran grape or lemonade. Gets me Protein and fluids!
I also like PB2 powder. Even the regular Peanut Butter to go cups...higher in fat and calories than pb2 but they work in a pinch.
I haven't tried my first Protein Bar yet but they were staples of my pre op travels. Also prepacked nuts.

      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.
