I'm 3.5 weeks post op and I have my first business trip tomorrow. Fortunately it's a 24 hr trip to DC (I live in Boston), and it's significantly shorter and time and distance as compared to my usual trips overseas. Nonetheless, I'm worried not about what I'll eat, but about STAMINA. I'm friggin' EXHAUSTED. DEPLETED. Just so, so tired. I'm getting Protein and liquids in, but I go to bed at 7:30 every night. I know I'm still healing but I just feel so tired. Since I can't bring my Protein shake through security, my plan is to drink on the way to the airport, get a Greek yogurt and big bottle of Water at the airport, nap on the plane, and I built in time for a nap before my work event tomorrow evening. Fingers crossed I can make it through this!

I think you've got a good plan, let us know how it all works out!

Sounds like a plan. Thankfully it's a short flight. Good luck!

I was also surprised how tired I was for the first 6 weeks. It will get better. Stay hydrated. I know when I go on business trips I am not as good about drinking my Water.

Good luck-

I brought protein powder and a shaker in my carry on bag and bought cold water in airport and then the hotel later that evening and had shakes. It really helped me with energy. I was traveling for work two weeks after surgery.
