Help! Going out of town the day I can start puree

[Lynda486 784]

My husband and I want to travel about 4 hours to Wichita starting Friday. Friday is also the day I can start my pureed diet. Am I stuck on liquids for a couple more days or is there anything I can take with me. I need to get some calories in, I have been losing very slowly this week.

You *could* delay starting purees and continue liquids until you return because new food stages are tricky when it comes to digestion/bathroom habits (but 4hrs is not a very long trip)

Yogurt and cottage cheese is very accessible/easy to eat on the fly when traveling

Have a great trip 💚

Thanks! I am going to bring along yogurt and cottage cheese. It sure beats Protein Shakes all day long!

Thank-you!

I would be careful that first week is rough and would not want to be in a car with no bathroom

I took my time switching to the puree stage. My doctor said it was fine. He'd rather I took my time switching rather than jumping into the next phase too quickly.

Thanks all, I think I will play it safe and stick to Protein Shakes while on the road.
