Leavin' On A Jet Plane

So I'm only 5 days out, I am going to North Carolina for a wedding September 4th. I need some feedback...

1. Suggestions on traveling with protien shakes. powder etc....

2. Dress for the weeding it will be 1 month after surgery... Do you think if I buy it tight now it will fit.... (I know this one is a lil vain, however it's my cousins wedding and I do need and want to look decent)

3. Will I be able to make a shake on the plane?? Just in case...???

Totaly CORN-fused and need help!! :-)

As I'm pre-op, I unfortunately don't have any suggestions for you. However, I was just wondering where in NC you're going to be? I live east of Greensboro. Plus, this will help get it bumped up so maybe you can get some helpful responses :)

You will be able to carry protien shakes on the plane with you, even if they are premixed. It falls under "medical necessity". I would advise calling the TSA perforce hand, they will email you a copy of the regulations that cover this. And they can also advise you on how to package and label it.

If you decide to go with powders then it's even easier. You can just buy bottled Water or milk inside the terminal

I'm going to Bald Head Island just outside of Wilmington. Never been on the east coast so I'm kind of excited! I'm a true Cali girl so i know it will be different!!

Thx for the info I'll be sure to call the TSA do you think I should get a dr. Note? I mean is it like school??

I was just out there last week for about the millionth time. It's soooooo nice out there! I hope you have a great time! I've never been on the west coast...I really want to get out there sometime.
