Tips for flight to Mexico



Recommended Posts

Im flying from south Florida to San Diego with a stop over in Atlanta on Thursday 9/1. Anybody have suggestions for the clear liquid diet I will be on both ways? I will be traveling most of each day and am worried about how the heck I will stay nourished.

Any suggestions for making the trips more comfortable will be MUCH appreciated.

you will need to bring a shaker bottle, and nectar powder and bring your own bottled Water that you buy airside before you board. You can ask the flight attendant to fill your shaker bottle with Water when she passes with drinks (but don't depend on them to return). You can bring some powdered broth or cube and ask for hot water. If you decide to use your shaker bottle, make sure it doesn't leak when you shake it. Either test it at home, or shake it in the bathroom.

Thanks for the the great tips. I laughed at the thought of shaking my bottle on the plane and having it splash all over the person next to me. Ill be sure to test it prior to using it. Going to GNC tomorrow to check out Isopure.< /p>

I didn't bring a shaker bottle. just a collapsible funnel to keep in my carry on. I used that to get my nectar powder into bottles of Water I purchased in the airports.

With the shaker bottle. I had an "accident" in the office, thankfully in my own cubicle last time I was on a liquid diet. What a mess. I'm super careful after that. I fly alot and have seen many accident, mostly careless passengers with their coffee cups boarding.

I checked out the Isopure, but they won't allow you to bring it on the plane ... Do you mean purchase the big tub and put it in a shaker ? @@OKCPirate

They allowed it in my checked bag.

I bought Vitamin Water and found a restaurant that had chicken noodle Soup. I asked for just the broth and that I would gladly pay full price. No problem.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
