Working away from home

[Wayner 0]

I work away from home a lot, I spend a lot of time in hotels, has anyone got any meal ideas for me, I got a gastric bypass and no way of cooking food.

Make good choices when eating out. It's a good opportunity to have salmon. If money is an issue, Arby's roast beef without the bun is good, or even Waffle House patty melt without the bread or eggs.

I travel for work a lot and my husband likes to eat out a lot. Honestly, I have no problem aside from getting these giant portions that I cannot eat. I choose the best choices for me and take the rest to go. I can usually get another 2 meals out of it (maybe more). tip: if your meal comes with a salad, get the dressing on the side otherwise you're in for a soggy mess and inedible as a leftover.

When I'm out of town/staying in a hotel, I try to get a room with a refrigerator and microwave. That way I can pay for 1 meal that lasts me and I save on expenses.

You didn't mention at what point in this process you are, your profile says pre-op, so I'll also provide a tip related to those special liquid or soft diets. When I was in pre-op and/or freshly post-op, I took items I could eat with me. EX: I had Protein Shakes with me (either ready made or ones I could mix easily in a shaker, as long as I knew I'd have access to milk). I kept Protein Bars with me and if I had a way to refrigerate things, I took string cheese, yogurt or cottage cheese with me.
