Hello all...so I was sleeved March 11. I will be going to England on May 28th for 10 days. Can anyone give me some ideas of how am going to travel so far and still eat what I need? Btw I live in Idaho. So like a 12 hour flight from start to finish.

Protein bars! I travel a lot for work and always carry Rx Bars and Quest bars with me.

In my experience if you haunt the markets you can find staples just like we have domestically. Eggs, meat, veg, fruit, milk, yogurt, cheese, ...etc. You will be able to control your diet environment a little better that way.

While dining out, take away will be your friend. But question preparation methods to avoid excess unnecessary cals or possible no go foods like high sugar content sauces. England should not be terribly challenging.

Drink tons of water, take tons of pics...

Enjoy vacay❤

Thank you so much for the tips!!!

I live in Australia but traveled to Canada for a week only 5 weeks post op. On the plane I asked for whatever meal was protein (eggs for the breakfast, chicken for the dinner) and only ate what I could. Once there I had no problem at all finding foods I could eat.

I'm now nearly 6 months post op and just returned from Canada - again! (I'm Canadian and had to go home as my mom was unwell) On my flights I only ate the protein portions of meals, i.e. yogurt, meat, egg. I drank water pretty much constantly unless I was sleeping.

My partner and I are going to the UK for 5 weeks in August/September with a stop in Dubai for 3 days. I'm not worried about what we'll eat at all.

Have fun! English breakkies rock (minus the baked beans and toast thing...)
