Hey y'all. I am 5 weeks post bypass. My family and I went for a road trip today. I packed enough food for the whole trip, perfectly planned and measured. We checked in to our hotel, loaded everything into the fridge, and left for the event we're here for. When we got back, we realized the fridge is broken and everything got spoiled. Now I'm 200 miles from home with nothing to eat. I could really use some help here. I don't know anything about ordering from a restaurant that would be both bariatric friendly and gluten free. I don't know what to do.

I dont know either. The fact remains that I've developed food problems after the surgery that I never had before. Its actually a good thing to talk about different diets. We need to get in good nutrition. If we don't look at what we're eating, how much, when we need good nutrition, that's a problem.

I did look this up and came up with the following. I believe you are right in that there are no hormones, but there are a number of other items (antibiotics, etc.) that are in the meat or the conditions such that make a more likely ground for problems to enter the food supply.

You are right, I get the bird I do because its fed differently, raised in a very different atmosphere, and is doggone tasty because it gets plucked, the feet and head lopped off and given to me. I have enough problems eating without adding to it.

Anyway - you are right on the hormones, its the other things I have some reservations about also.

Thank YOU for passing that on. When you are used to seeing such a difference between these huge farm building never see the light birds and the pasture where my birds are raised, you really go
