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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
