Anyone travel for work?

[Rsims1985 1]

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!

@@Rsims1985 yup, it's not easy. I work for an Oil company, and spend 16 days away from home and then home for five days. I'm on my first shift away from home since surgery and it's not easy. 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
