Good Afternoon Experts:

I need to fly out for a family members funeral. Palm Springs- SFO- Omaha Nebraska. Given airline restrictions I am bringing 4 Protein Bars, and will ask for plenty of Water on the flight. Once we land, going to the market to get what I need/can eat.

Any other tips?

Thanks,

Brian Grossman

Sorry for your loss. What phase are you on? I've found string cheese lasts fine for a few hours not refrigerated. I usually take some bars, almonds, string cheese, and (when I could have shakes) single serve Protein Powder and a shaker bottle. You can also almost always buy eggs, cheese, hummus, etc in the airport. Take an empty water bottle.

You can take as much food as you like, with the exception of liquids, and liquid-y type foods. Why are you restricted to 4 Protein bars?

I take Protein bars, protein Cake Bites, protein chips, and almonds with me when I travel. I also take an empty Water bottle and fill it up after I get through security at the airport.

Sorry for a late response. On the trip, I brought Protein bars. In farm country, Creighton Nebraska, eggs, Protein Shakes, long walks. Avoided eating corn, Pasta, ; I had cottage cheese, string cheese. No aerobic exercise. no weight gain, only lost two pounds.

      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.
