I sorta had the same problem the other day. Not flying but I was driving a long distance and hadn't planned for lunch. Stopped at the gas station on my way through towns and roamed forever before I found a lunchable. Great gas station choice. I ate the cheese and meat and tossed the crackers. Filled me up with a little to toss out in the next town. I have also bought Jerky, just chew and suck on it a long time. Great Protein choices. Keep up the hardwork. This is so going to be worth it. I already feel so much better.

I'm traveling from Texas to Ohio right now and I stopped at a convenience store and bought a turkey Swiss sandwich and ate the meat, cheese, lettuce, and Tomato. I was only able to eat half of the insides.

Breakfast I found boiled eggs at the store and watermelon.

I love turkey Jerky pieces. I eat 8 pieces. 100 calories and no carbs!! Tons of Protein.< /p>

You're doing great. I haven't been cleared for raw veggies yet, but that is what I am missing most right now. Also haven't been cleared for jerky. Do you find it breaks down easily?

I imagine you'd have to chew for hours (kidding).

The bag I buy has them cut into cylinder pieces about an inch long. I didn't have any issue getting them down. I don't have the bag on me but its like 15+ g of Protein. As for ounces, there's no way it's more that 2.

I'd probably go for the Pork rinds if on a road trip.

That sounds good, haven't been in a situation to go sit and eat.

Just stopped in Illinois at arbys while getting gas. I ordered a kids roast beef. I ate the roast beef (3 slices thin) and calories counter says 70 calories and 8 g of Protein. Ordered a side salad and had 5 small bites with a tiny amount of ranch. Calories counter, 165 total calories and 9 g of Protein. Not perfect but it good for what it is.

sleeved 6/19/13

203 to 160 last time I weighed two days ago.

Size 20 to 12/14 depending on store.

No more blood pressure meds!!

i was sleeved on 6/24 trying to be more creative in what i eat as it is getting a bit boring but I won't do anything i am not supposed to yet. I had to fly today and flight connecting times were tight' date=' so stopped at McDonalds next to my gate, got a cheeseburger - only ate the meat and cheese with some mustard and the onions.

Thanks for Premier Protein - but hard to take when i fly

But what about chicken,,, I have heard so many say they struggle with chicken - why is that? is there a best way to have it?[/quote']

6 weeks out, and I cannot tolerate burgers yet, although I can tolerate strips of steak and lamb in a gyro! Must depend on how it is cooked. I have never had problems with chicken. When I go to mcds I always get one grilled chicken snack wrap with no sauce or lettuce, only cheese.....then I tear away the excess wrap too...I can only handle breads in tiny doses now too.....it tastes good and is high in Protein, low in fat. Good luck!!

Bahahaha...I thought the same thing! I think some of the month groups have gotten organized into FB groups, but maybe us June folks are too lazy or something. ;)

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
