Hi, everyone!

I am a little over two weeks post-op and am very lucky to be feeling really good! I will be taking a four-day trip for work next week and will have to bring supplements and some Protein powders with me.

I would like to pack everything in a carry-on, but am not sure if I will have problems going through security. Ideally, I'd like to bring my pill case, which has all my Vitamins and supplements in it, and individual sealed protein packets.

Has anyone flown with all of this stuff? Any advice or "best practices"?

Thanks, in advance, for your feedback!

I fly often & never check a bag. I've had no issues bringing a baggies full of assorted vitamins. No prob with either small packets of protein powder nor a small Tupperware container of protein powder. I fly mostly out of EWR & CHS.

They usually want you to put that stuff in the clear zip-lock so that they can see it as you go through security. I have traveled with gel Protein supplements before, and lots of pill supplements in mini-snack bags, and that was fine. I did create a printed list of all the supplement types I was carrying with me.

_{Thank you so much, ladies! It is good to know you have not run into an issue before.}

_{It's a good idea to print out a list of supplements.}

_{Thanks again!}

I have flown a few times since surgery with the Quest single serve Protein powders. Love them - so easy to manage.

If you have a carry on bag I would find it easier to carry a six pack carton of protein shakes, or 2 six packs. It is much easier, since I cannot for the life of me unclump protein powders in three years without a blender.

Make sure to walk while on the plane. You want to keep the blood flowing to prohibit blood clots.
