I have a travel dilemma...please help



Recommended Posts

I had my RNY on March 16, even though I am on solid foods I do enjoy an Atkins EAS Protein Shake daily as a Protein booster (chocolate yum). Anyway, I will be traveling to Venice/Greece in May and am wondering if I should pack a 2 weeks worth of shakes ( a lot of weight in suitcase ) or try to find a place in Venice that sells them. I can't imagine being able to find them there. Any suggestions, or has anyone seen them in Italy/ Greece stores.

Why not just do powder?

Could you order them online and ship them to your hotel? Or send a request to the hotel concierge and ask if they have them in the area? Good luck!

I have looked for that exact brand in the UK without any luck! I ended up with powder and did fine.

I generally use Protein bars when I am on the go. Quest is a good brand. But since you had a RNY on 16 March, that may be a bit early to begin using these. Ask your nutritionist.

Thank you so so much for all your help. Everybody's input is really valuable to me. Sending them to the hotel would be an awesome idea only were going to be in Venice for one day and then a seven day cruise to Greece and then two days in Venice at the end. Otherwise that would've worked really well. I think I will have to go with the powder. Although I hate the powder it's the next best alternative. Thanks again have a great day everyone

You might be able to eat half a Quest bar at a time. They save me white traveling, especially on fly days.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
