Long flight during pre-op diet

Hey there!

I'll have a 14 hours flight 7 days before my surgery. Does anyone has a tip for this kind of situation?

Thanks ????

So.........you're flying to Siberia or Venezuela from Newfoundlad? My best suggestion would be sealed sample packs and a shaker cup. Ask the flight attendant for Water. I buy bariatric supplies from Bariatric Pantry and Bariatric Choice all the time. Bariatric Pantry has a sample pack of Syntrax Nectars here:

I had to fly while on my pre-op diet, because I went to Mexico for my surgery. I brought individual protein powder packets and a collapsible funnel in my carry-op. I bought bottled water at the airport and used the funnel to pour in the protein powder. Since you will likely need more than one bottle of water on the plane, then maybe just keep asking the attendant for water and mix a little bit of protein in at a time, since those cups they give you on planes are tiny.
