Post-op sleeve travel



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

I’m kinda new to this. I go to Florida about once a year and i want to know what and how everyone brings their diet supplies with them. Like the Protein Powder, little Snacks and what not. On a plane or driving!

Thank you everyone!

I'm a little over 5 months post op and I carry the following everywhere I go: beef Jerky, a day's worth of Vitamins & a thermos. Earlier when I was newly sleeved, I would also carry around a mix bottle with a scoop of Protein powder in it, and fill it with Water if/when I needed it.

I went on a two-week cruise two months post-op sleeve and I took Protein Snacks with me. I was very careful with my choices of food during the cruise and ate mainly protein, no Desserts, no ice cream and snacked on protein snacks that I had brought with me (almonds, protein Cake Bites, protein chips) if I was still hungry. It also worked well for plane travel to keep me from making bad choices. So yes, take your diet stuff with you. Oh, by the way, I lost 3 pounds on my 2-week cruise.

I bagged all my food by serving size (especially if the serving size required it being weighed) and packed Protein Bars I knew I liked.

I just flew from Las Vegas to Charlotte NC three days ago. I didn't eat for about 17 hours and went straight to the grocery store and got what i needed. I don't worry about lugging food along with me. Seems like too much work when there isn't anything to worry about in the long run. Just buy what you need when you get there.

      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.
