Business Traveling & Food Choices



Recommended Posts

Hi all...

I'm slowly adding in foods after 1 month post-op. I travel about 60% of my time for work, I find I just can't go through a fast food drive-through anymore. I went to lunch with coworkers to a local diner, which food choices were your typical pub sandwiches, salads, fried stuff, appetizers chili...etc.

I would love some restaurant suggestions from those that travel a lot. Plus how you manage situations where food choices were very limited.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I'm not quite one month, but eating solid foods. Like you, I travel at least 50% of my time.

Of course, fast food is not really an option. I'm eating a bunch of fish. So far, my preference is Sea Bass or Salmon. Sides are really a hit or miss. Typically the fish portion is enough

I travel for work. I'm not a month in yet but I made a list for myself. If sandwiches are the only option, I'll just take out the bread. Or have whole wheat bread only. If I do to a restaurant or pub I'll look at the appetizers. Some pubs here make deviled eggs, which would be a good option. Basically, any chicken or fish that are grilled or baked. Keep the sides vegetables only. I live in California so we have "In & Out", luckily they make Protein burgers which are burgers wrapped in lettuce instead of bread.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
