Hello All Readers,

I'm hoping I can seek some advice here. I had my surgery on the 22nd Of March 2015 at the end of June which makes me 3 months out. I have to fly overseas and the duration of my flying time is around 26hrs approx. Can anyone inform me has to what they ate on their flights?? Any help will be highly appreciated. Have a nice day. Prada

You can take tuna/salmon foil packs, cheese, protein bars, protein powders, nuts, etc. Food is allowed through TSA, you just have to ensure liquids are less than 3.4 oz. I travel int'l frequently and I did one 14 hour flight with return one month post op. I keep individual packets of fat free italian dressing in my pantry and will take a salad with me to the airport and pack the dressing in my liquids bag. I have taken dannon yougurt on domestic flight, but they confiscated it last time being over the 3.4 oz. I hope this helps!

Hi Srreeder, So if I was to purchase heaps of protien bars and take them on my international flight do you think I would be alright??

Sure if that is your preference. I would tuck something different in as well, maybe jerky or cheese sticks. If you are fling business you can eat the salad and meat portions of the dinner offering. I have yet to find a Econ class meal that is anywhere near suitable for my dietary needs.

Hi, Srreeder, I will be flying Econ so the cheese stick are a good idea thanks. Though being cheese will they allow me to take them on my flights?

Yes. Food is allowed on the plane and through TSA. Most major carries don't count food for immediate consumption as a bag for counting your one personal item and one bag for Carry On. You can even carry a salad and deli meats tooo! I do it all the time.

Oh yeah, warning one tuna packs and blue cheese, they are a little stinky to eat in such tight quarters, I learned it the hard way! Haha. But deli meats, jerkins, and cheddar cheeses are great for inflight meals.

Thanks so much for this information, I highly appreciate it. Whats you opinion on NEW WHEY PROTIEN SHOTS??

As a frequently traveler, I'd suggest protein snacks, and putting in a request for special dietary needs. While tuna and salmon are a great suggestion, in my experience it's not a very popular choice if you want to be considerate to your neighbors. While I love both, the smell of fish that has been brought aboard and sat for a while in your cooler bag seems to have a different oder than fish the airlines may prepare during the flight. Again just the experience of a guy who flew over 300,000 miles last year. :-)

Hello blacktee92675, So I think what is best for me since I'll be travelling for approx 26hrs I'll fill my bag will Protien snakes. Since I'll be flying Econ I might just try and have a few bites of the chicken and the mashes potatoes. Most flights have this meal. Thanks for your input. Prada.
