I dont find I need to carry anything.

If I get caught out for a long time and am hungry, well then I am, it wont kill me. But if I know I'll be out - liek today - I have four hours of lectures and tutes today between 10 and 2 and I'll leave at about 9 I'll just buy a coffee or two and eat something when I get home - but the only reason I wont buy a sandwich or something at uni (plenty of healthy options there) is coz I'm too cheap to spend $7 on a sandwich. I could take lunch I guess, but it doesnt really worry me to wait.

I have all the running round with kids sports etc too, and generally, as long as I've eaten good meals at Breakfast and lunch, I can wait till 7 or 7.30 when we get home for dinner.

So, lol, I just wing it and starve if I have to. I'm not organised enough to carry food, and I dont eat Protein bars or stuff like that that would be so easy to carry.

the little airline size packets of dry roasted nuts. I hoard them when I travel.... LOL

Newman's Own makes a soy crisp. It looks like and kind of tastes like a rice cake, but it has a lot more flavor. They are fat free, high in Protein and taste great. A few of those in a baggie go a long way. They come in plain, BBQ, white cheddar and cinnamon flavor.

I like those 1 oz. cheese stix too, but they wouldn't do well in a hot car.

My favorite? The mini-size cans of low sodium V-8 juice. They are only 30 calories, nutritious, and thick enough to hold me off until I get home.

      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.
