I always carried a bottle with vanilla Protein powder and a crystal lite and than all I had to do was add Water. I also always carry Protein Bars. I have them in my car as well as purse. don't think you can't have anything at some of these places. if you look around I bet you would find something healthy and easy for you to eat. thank goodness for us that most places now offer healthy choices. don't go hungry. low blood sugar isn't fun.. hve fun this summer on your outings

If there is nothing worth eating, then I simply don't eat....my life no longer revolves around food..can take it or leave it, and hunger is never an issue with me as a bander....

You don't get low blood sugar?

I didn't feel hungry but I knew I needed some Protein.

I once took as much as 70 units of Lantus every night, plus oral meds throughout the day.....it is because I don't eat like I used to, lost much weight and exercise, that I take nothing for my Diabetes and my Blood Levels are always good....

Plus, no one said you can't snack....or drink...

I go into places that say "no outside food" with Snacks all the time, no problem, and no mention of a lawyer or "discrimination" needed. Most places are very accommodating to dietary restrictions and allergies, especially if you are firm but polite if asked.

I always carry beef Jerky, almonds and a Protein bar in my bag if I'm going to be out all day. I know I can buy Water to go with my flavor drops so I'm set. I carry my own because it's easier to track, I know what I'm getting, and it saves me a lot of money with no waste. I don't even attempt to hide my stash, it's unnecessary.

I've become an expert at "smuggling" my own diet-friendly Snacks and bars into parks. I've resorted to putting snacks in a big tampon box inside my tote bag--no ones going to open it. If travelling with kids you can fill up one of those plastic refillable baby wipe containers, and they wouldn't question it. If it's a Water park, try putting in in the middle of a folded/rolled towel, then just shove it in your bag with your other towels. I also think the doctor's letter's a great idea. We Do whatever we have to do, right? Good luck!

      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! 😞
