I usually make sure I have water flavorings, protein bars or good snacks, for meals, I just make the best choice possible Vivienne

I have not been away from home for more then a day. When I was I packed snacks that I could eat and lots of water and some protein bullets. Sally

How about preparing for three weeks in another country! When DH and I went to Australia, I went to a store when we landed and got some protein mix, milk and cheese sticks. I made sure I got my protein in everyday and water too. Aside from that though, I had to wing it.

I've only spent time away from home by being at my Mom's, so I bring up some of the special foods that get me through the day like my yogurt, cereal, skim milk and shake ingredients. If I have those items, I can do fine. The rest of the meals are basic anyway, so I can fit them into my eating plan.

Since I am so far Post Op I don't really pack any food items, I just try to watch what I eat even more than when I'm home. It seems like when I'm away from home I forget I had WLS and end up eating too much and being miserable. Have a great weekend! Sheryl

Just got back from a week of camping at the beach. I swear I walked my feet off! I packed everything I would normally eat at home, and when we ate out, I made sure I could see a menu first.
