Eating on the go

[Florida 0]

Hi,

I am one week into surgery, on full liquids. Can anyone give me some tips on eating on the go like, running errands or something to take to eat in the car.

Thanks!

I was banded July 06 so I have really forgotten the food guidelines but... I do remember taking a cooler in my car with pudding , Jello , yogurt and surgar free drinks just in case I got in a bind.

I hope you get some suggestions.

YOU CAN DO IT.

your band sister,

Yes thats what I do. I bought a really cute soft sided cooler from Target "with poka dots" and take Jello, Yogert, Cottage cheese, and A Protein Shake so I'm not stuck in a situation were I need to go in that fast food lane. I put everything in little tupperware containers already measured out and take plastic spoons.

That would depend, though, on if your surgeon considers cottage cheese and yogurt "full liquids". Mine did not. Those were Mushies in his dietary guidelines.

Yes my surgeon considered these full liquids "cottage cheese and yogurt" plus and whole lot more like oatmeal. I know they are all different. Remember when I was freaking out because I didn't have to go on a "liquid" pre-op diet? and it seems like everybody else on here did.

How about a Protein bullet? They come in a plastic tube which the label says is "virtually indestructable" so you should be able to put them in your purse. Protein Powder packs well too.
