post op report and taking a trip

[Guest guest]

hi all. I am almost 4 weeks out from my DGB with Dr. in

Portland, Oregon. I am doing well and other than a week one from hell

am recovering nicely. I have lost 31 pounds since surgery.

I am traveling to nashville next week and am trying to decide what to

take with me to have handy for food. I can't imagine being able to

whip up protein shakes where I'm going. I thought I'd bring some

powder and perhaps order a smoothie and stir it in... I also thought

I'd get some of the challenge pre-digested and swill a shotglass full

each morning for 24 grams. I have a few luna bars which are 10 grams

each...those are the only ones I found I could begin to tolerate.

I am just starting to eat soft meats. I just want to make sure I can

keep my protein up.

Any suggestions for traveling and post op diet? Portable protein? I'm

not fond of jerky so that's out. What else?

thanks for any ideas
