Flying with protein?



Recommended Posts

For those of yall who have flown post-sleeve, how do you manage to take your Protein with you? Is there a particular brand of RTD you're carrying or....? We're booked for WDW in November and I hope by then I won't need to worry about supplementing protein but just in case I'm trying to plan for it. Any suggestions or experience?

I take Protein Powder and a shaker cup, but most of my flights are short for business so no checked baggage. Have you thought about Protein bars instead of RTD shakes?

Ya I have but I looked the other day at the store and everything I looked at (I think I spent 30 mins in that aisle) had entirely too many carbs. Do you have a Protein Bar recommendation that doesn't taste of dirty rhino butt? :)

The Luna Protein Bars in Cookie Dough are tolerable. 21 gms of carb for 12 gms of Protein. When I eat one, the rest of the day is meat only as I try to keep carbs under 30. When I am stuck somewhere mid-day with only a vending machine it's a better option than the machine. For powder I use GNC Wheybolic 60 somethingorother in vanilla--tastes to me like yellow cake batter.

The Oh Yeah bars have 15 grams of Protein and 7 carbs. the PB choc. are delicious. You can usually find them in a health food store. I order them online from vitacost.com where I order my Vitamins and Protein shakes. no shipping on orders over $49 right now. I like the choc. mint too. they are like a kit kat bar.

The costco premeire Protein bars are very big. The have 30 grams of protein for 23 carbs. I eat half at a time.

I always take protein bars on the plane. I have taken Protein Drink sample packets on trips with a shaker bottle but it's not my 1st choice. They don't mix well without my little blender.

Thanks for the input guys. I found a couple sampler packs on mybariatricpantry that I'm going to try. The Oh Yeah bars were one of them. Here's to hoping bc I'm REALLY getting tired of trying to choke back my shakes...flying or no flying.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
