Anyone travel for work?

I travel pretty much constantly for work. I was just sleeved on September 7th and was just wondering if anyone else travels and how they manage their diet.

I travel occasionally ...probably once every 2 months. I did travel about 3 weeks after I was sleeved and was surprised by how well I was still able to stick to the plan. I usually get a room with a mini fridge so I can stock it with my "necessities" ...ie, greek yogurt, low-fat cheese sticks, and Protein shakes. That way I know that I have an option if all else fails. I also find that I am able to find something to eat at almost every work function or restaurant.

Hi. I travel every week. I was sleeved on 7/31/14. I am fortunate because I am able to rent a car in many of the cities so I found Wendy's to buy chili, a grocery store (sliced turkey breast!) and a GNC/Vitamin Shoppe for Isopure. I bring my Protein shakes and bars (once I was allowed to have bars again). I also try to stay in a hotel that has a fitness room and a mini-kitchen so I can heat Soup.

If I must eat in a restaurant, I volunteer to select the restaurant for the group so I can choose a place that has options for me. I can find an Italian restaurant and order meatballs or lasagna (and not eat the noodles). I also found Qdoba and Salsarita's for refried Beans.

One last comment. People are interested in what they are going to eat. I haven't had anyone comment on what I order, how I order or how much I eat (or don't eat). Do what makes sense for you. Good luck!

If you can tolerate (and I can't) Protein shakes, you've got it made. I still eat with everyone, but only a few bites. I've never hidden from anyone at work that I was sleeved, so they all understand my two mouthfuls and I'm done routine. Good luck!

Well that's encouraging to hear. I do like protein shakes, I try to have one for lunch or breakfast. I try to just find the best options or the most protein I can get when I go to dinner with everyone.

I was wondering how you were coping. Good to hear you worked out a plan. Try the Syntrax Nectar it just taste's like fruit juice or something similar anyway. I use the fuzzy Navel it's a combination of orange and peach
