Protein on Vacation?



Recommended Posts

We're going to fly to Mexico in a couple of weeks. I will be about 6 weeks post-op.

Unless things change quickly, I will not be able to get my required Protein by food alone.

What's the most compact way to carry Protein to another country, realizing that there might be a lot of trouble getting it back into the USA?

Those shot things can have a lot of protein, but they sure are nasty. I'm thinking of just taking a half bag of Meal Replacement powder.

What do you think?

Are you flying? I just came back from vacation and we drove. I was able to pack a cooler with all the Premier Protein shakes ( I drink 2 a day) with me for the entire trip. I get them at costco and they are premade. No shaker cups, or blender required. I had a horrible time finding a Protein shake that wouldn't nauseate me. These are the only ones I can get down.

If you are flying....you may have to contact the airline for approval of the containers. They are 6 oz. containers.

Have fun and enjoy your vacation....they don't last long enough !!!

I used the Myoplex Carb Control RTD and I packed them in my checked luggage. I bagged them in large ziplocks and then put those inside a shoebox sized plastic container. I was traveling 3 weeks post op for business. I am 5 weeks now and on vacation and I have no problems with my Protein from food alone. eggs with cheese for Breakfast (and sometimes for other meals if nothing looks like it will work on the menu), grilled fish or chix for lunch/dinner. I know some people say no fruit, but I have been lovinig watermelon. In Mexico Beans should be readily available at any restaurant.

I bought a little container that you store infant formula in. It has 4 devided little spots that hold 1 scoop of Protein perfectly and then I can just dump one section into a Blender Bottle or a bottle of Water. The container is small enough to fit in my purse and I usually leave it in my desk at work.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
