I brought Protein Powder and a shaker in my carry on bag and bought cold Water in airport and then the hotel later that evening and had shakes. It really helped me with energy. I was traveling for work two weeks after surgery.

Sleeved 7/27. Down 60lbs but started with a lower BMI. I'm very happy with my progress and loving life!

Give them away but keep a pair of pants and a shirt. About once a month I try them on OVER my current clothes and I don't have to unbutton anything anymore. It's the most awesome feeling and it will make you feel great on the worst day.

Never had any issues, but I did put mine in snack size ziplock bags so they could be seen easily. I take about 3 servings on every flight (because I get delayed a lot and want to be over prepared). I tended to pack readymade shakes in my bag, as mentioned above, because I could stick them in a small cooler or hotel fridge. Sometimes the hotel fridges didn't get them cold enough for me. Luckily, every hotel has an ice machine I buy Premier Protein shakes from costco. Another member of this board told me that Walgreens sells them in many areas. Now I don't have to pack them, I just find a Walgreens and pick them up. If I can't find a Walgreens, then I find the nearest drug or grocery store and get a good alternative. I travel almost every week and I am in the same hotel 2-4 nights. Please get a small lunchbox sized cooler you can put several bottles of Water, G2 etc. in. It has been a life saver for me.

I traveled two weeks after my surgery and was gone for 5 days. I took my large suitcase and packed prepackaged liquid Protein Shakes and a small soft sided cooler. When I got to my hotel I filled the cooler with shakes and ice so I always had something on hand. The toughest parts were the flights because I was flying cross country and was still on liquids. You will be fine, but buy some G2 or Poweraide zero at the airport to sip on the plane. When I had to eat out with customers I got Soups. You may be on soft foods by then so order carefully and make sure you get your Protein in.

Thanks for the info. I think I'm going to give them a try

That's great to hear. Thanks for the response and good luck with the rest of your journey!

Congratulations! My surgery is two weeks from today. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I would love to hear how your first few weeks after surgery went as far as energy level, being able to get your Water in, etc. My SW and your will be the same as I have to get to that number before the surgery.
