Travel during purée stage



Recommended Posts

I’m about to start my purée stage of my recovery and I have to go out of town for work all next week. I’m going to be taking some things and my measuring cups. Any ideas on hotel living (I’ll have access to a mini fridge and microwave) and/or out to eat ideas for food during the purée stage??

Things to have with you: cottage cheese, yogurts, soft cheese, broth cubes, eggs (microwaved eggs are easy and quick!)

Eating out: Hummus plates minus the pitas etc (if allowed) always eggs (if tolerated), yogurt, smooth Soups, etc.

Take a strong look at you plan then double check by calling you NUT/Team to see exactly all the variation of foods you can nave at thos stage tell them you are traveling for work and NEED suggestions.

Good Luck 💜

I’m on purée too and travel a lot for work. I always have Protein Shakes available in case there really isn’t anything I can eat or if I’m traveling by car. Believe me I’ve had enough of them but it works in a pinch. I also tell myself that this is not a time to try new foods—I’d rather do that at home in case of negative side effects.

Stick to your plan and call your NUT for suggestions.

safe travels!

Definitely buy some Protein Shakes when you get where you're going and stock up on them in your minifridge.

I bought this: Immersion Blender LINKChef 4-in-1 Hand Blender Stick Powerful Low Noise Large 800ml Beaker, Stainless Steel Whisk and 500ml food Chopper, on Amazon and talked to my NUT and she loved it! Just to take the cup and the wand to puree. I travel on the 19th.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
