I bought a small cooler at Walmart, put fishing decals all over it to personalize it. When I'm not going to be somewhere that I can have the food, I pack it full of stuff I can have. It's saved my butt many times since my surgery.

you did not mention what stage you are in and what is making you sick however I travel a lot and I keep tuna ( in the foil pks) in the car at all times. doesn't have to be refrigerated. also have a small cooler and have cheese sticks and my protein drink in it. I make some egg muffins and have them but would not trust them for a long time even in the cooler if you live in a warm area. in florida about two hours is all I trust them. there are the protein bars and soups or broth if you have access to a microwave. I often us the ones at 7-11 and so far no one has said not to. good luck to you

The three most important elements after RNY gastric bypass surgery are to meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting your stored fat into the energy that drives your body. Thus you lose weight.

So it is important to pack protein such as premixed Protein shakes (high in protein and low in sugar) or if you are further advanced from surgery, protein bars. Whenever I am traveling I pack Quest protein bars.

It is equally important to have access to liquids. Most people take bottled Water with them wherever they go. I like a drink called Bai which I buy by the case at Sam's Club. There is one version of Gatorade which has low sugar and good electrolytes that some people use.

Not at the beginning but later, maybe a year out, you can return to eating out at restaraunts. But concentrate on high protein, small portion, low sugar foods. I am over 3 years post-op RNY and I might eat 2 crunchy tacos at Taco Bell. (no drinks, nothing else, only tacos) or a chili at Wendy's.

I have the tacos also but have them with out chips and no shells power lite cheese. I can also have a grilled chicken thigh ( remove the skin) and green beans at kfc or baked wings ( about 3) at wild wings. chipotle sells side orders of their grilled chicken. I can make great choices at restaurants but it is harder at fast food places. since I travel a lot this is where I have to eat so any other suggestions of things will be welcome. I know chic filet has baked nuggets but I wont go there because of their policy regarding gays thanks

Premier Protein also makes protein bars you can keep with you for days your in a clutch.

I keep a few packs of flavored tuna & salmon in my desk drawer.

Quest bars are rush meals, too.

I can pretty much go to any restaurant on the planet and find something that is in accord with how I want to eat now. Most fast food places have grilled chicken salads that hit the spot nicely.

Thank you. For all your help. I am not sure if it because i haven't eaten enough this week or what but running fever, dizzy and feel super week. Trying to makeself eat but having a hard time.

when I cant or don't want to eat I often will have a Protein shake and just sip along that way I am at least getting the protein in. also I don't like the taste but some folks do of protein waters. good luck don't let yourself get dehydrated.
