First post...so glad I'm here!

My surgery is set for 4/13. I won't be traveling for 3 weeks after surgery, but will need to start some air/car travel in mid-May. I have so many questions but will start with the basics. What has been other's experiences when it come to air travel and on the road for days at a time? What can I do to make this transition an easy one (if that's possible) and what things do you suggest I do?

So nervous, yet so ready to begin this new journey.

I travel a lot for work too...I pretty much survived off smoothie King and strawberry smoothies from Starbucks...they were filling and didn't hurt my stomach as much...plus they're everywhere and easy...

I still wasted a lot of money buying food I wanted, but could never eat, so it went in the trash after a bite....just don't rush it at first...it will be a while before you will eat anything that isn't liquid or very soft/smooth....so find what you can tolerate in the form of shakes/smoothies and you'll be ok! :-)

Suggest stopping by the local supermarket when you get there.

You will be eating very small meals for the first few months, you can buy enough to last you the week (or however long the trip) and eat dinners in your room.

This is what I did, I traveled every week beginning at week 4 after surgery.
