I travel with Protein drinks all the time. I have a "blender bottle" which has a little round ball inside to help mix. Before I get to the airport I put Protein powder and crystal light drink mix into the bottle, take it across security and then find a Water fountain to complete the shake. I also bring Protein Powder in tupperware and individual packets of crystal light for the rest of the trip. I ALWAYS get stopped for the Protein powder and they check it for explosives, so pack it on top for easy access.

You can also find miso Soup in individual packets which you can make in any hotel room with hot Water from a coffee maker. This is a perfect broth. You have to pack the miso Soup in your liquids and gels bag if you don't check your bag. Hope is helps! Linda

@sue on my way back at San Diego airPort I bought a chicken Soup at the counter and only had the broth and the only reason this happenned to me was because my "cup o noddles" I accidentally packed in my luggage...otherwise I would have asked or bought hot Water for tea and poured the contents into the cup of noodlesnand again only had the broth. The reason i like the cup o noodles is bc well it comes in a Cup so in don't have to worry about packing a container etc. Good luck with your procedure....I'm out 1week 3days and feel amazing. I'm sure you will too

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
