Traveling on pre-op diet ????

It's spring break and my husband and I were going to take our boys (18 & 21) to Vegas for the weekend beginning on Thursday.  I know I won't have a problem staying on track with my pre-op diet because I am in the right mindset, you know what I mean?  However, because my husband's alias is Mr. Cheap, we are staying in a hotel without a microwave!!!  The only hot thing I am able to have is broth, and I'd really like to have some while I'm there.  I guess I don't absolutely have to have it, but......

Any suggestions?  Please?

What about buying the cubes (chicken or beef) and using the coffee pot to hea****er?

 THat is just what i was going to suggest....  Or many places have the coffee set up in the lobby...

Buy the cubes and take them with you to the restaraunt.  Ask the waiter to bring you ho****er and an extra cup.  You might want to bring 1/2 cup measuring cup as well.  Put the cube in the cup with 1/2 cup (4 ozs. of ho****er).  It would be the same as asking for tea.  Where there is a will there is a way. 

I'm looking at the possibility of the same situation, except the entire week for business.  NOT looking forward to explaining to my boss' boss why I can't eat solid food.

You might want to look into getting a jar of Better Than Bouillon (http://www.superiortouch.com/retail/products/better-than-bouillon) to take with you.  In a pinch you can make it with hot tap water and it's pretty tasty.  I highly recommend the vegetable flavor, but they're all really good and I believe it's lower sodium than the cubes.

Good luck!

Thanks everyone, for the great ideas!  I'm confident that I will continue to do well even though I'm away from home.  I knew I could count on you all when I'm in a dilemma!
