So I went to my two weeks appointment today I get to eat soft mushy foods yay! Problem is had a little mashed potatoes and it was nasty. So I have to go on the road I was wondering like if I could find something to eat somewhere. Like Wendy's or mccalisters something help please!

In my humble opinion, the best option is to pack a cooler with foods that you know are on your plan and palatable. There is a lot of uncertainty when you are on the road which could lead to a situation where there are no options that are on plan.

Can you bring food with you? Mashed potatoes was never on my list for mushy foods. What other items are on your list? Can you travel with any of those. When I first started foods, I was worried and made sure to be home just in case I had an issue. Maybe you could mash up come chili from Wendy's?

Wendy's chili was not on my plan, nor were mashed potatoes. On my plan, my travel foods during the puree foods stage were cottage cheese, chicken salad, and sugar free Jello. If your plan allows yogurt, that is a good option to pack too.

No one is going to have the same plan. Example most people had a liquid diet pre-op I had 1500 calories. So I don't think anyone plan is going to say the same thing.

I agree. Always best to check with your program before deciding to consume anything. If Wendy's chili is on your plan then go for it.

food for thought Wendy's chili is good calorie Fiber Protein but has 1100 g of sodium...

Yeah I'm close to 5 weeks out and am learning I need to take Protein Drink or powder EVERYWHERE in case I suddenly get shaky and need Protein. I should invest in a little cooler so I can take Greek yogurt or other options. You won't need carbs when you are out and about. Not for the first months. Save those for at home.

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

      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! 😞
