Hello,

I work out in the field and drive around all day. I do not want to carry an ice chest around with me but was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to things I could carry around with me to eat for lunch and Snacks. Here is what I have been doing but would like more of a variety. I have slimfast low carb drinks, meal bars, fruit and nuts, small containers of apple sauce and stuff like that. All ideas would be much appreciated.

beef jerky or "slim jims" are good ...

I get those little cans of tuna, they have the pop off lid. Also apples and oranges have a long shelf life when not refridgerated, a jar of Peanut Butter, and some crackers.

Best of luck, I plan to check this thread often to get some new ideas!

Just out of curiosity; I, too, am in sales. How long after your surgery were you able to get back out into the field? Do you have to carry any product with you and if so, was that difficult?

I had my surgery on a Friday and had originally planned to go back on the following Monday but my supervisor told me to take another day which I was very glad to do. By Tuesday I was fine just a little worried about bumping my stomach (still tender around the port). The only problem I really had was week #2/3 when the gas pain started shooting into my shoulder after I ate my mushie food. I inspect Subway restaurants and would leave and walk up and down the sidewalk hoping to ease the pain. Walking did nothing for me. I learned that laying down for about 10 minutes did the trick and the pain would leave me. So I started carring a pillow in my truck so I could go out and just lay down till it past. I actually started back on solid food a couple of days early and the pain went away. I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not, but it worked for me. Hope this helps.
