are you on solid food yet? at 4 weeksI was transitioning from purees to "soft" solid food.

The flavored tuna and salmon pouches were a big part of my diet at that stage. They don't require refrigeration either so they would make a convenient road trip Protein snack/meal. If you can take a small cooler or insulated bag - maybe some string cheese and yogurt? and lots of water/noncaloric beverages.

I wouldn't assume you need snacks. Pack a cooler with some protein drinks, focus on eating high protein for your three daily meals, and you should be fine.

I am also transitioning. I can have a ounce of a tuna packet or deli meat and cheese. That's the extent of my eating right now in addition to a couple spoons of yogurt. I was planning to take Protein shakes for sure. Thanks

I haven't been on a long drive since the surgery, and don't know how I'll handle it when I do. To me, a road trip just isn't complete without things to munch on (I alternate between salty and sweet) while driving. I'll have to figure out alternatives of course, but hadn't given it any thought until this thread. Hm.

sugar free pudding and or Jello.
