A little nervous...

I have my first business trip since surgery. Fortunately its only a few days - but all those fat laden foods I can't prepare my self have me askeerd! Not to mention, social hour with others after work. I can drink 1 glass of wine and I feel like a 15 year old on his first beer!

So my plan is to buy fruit and protein bars to eat. When ordering out stick to salad or appetizers like shrimp or high protein.

How have you guys handled business trips?

I always make sure I have my Kashi Cereal and Lactaid milk.  I have breakfast and snack b4 bed covered with that.  Out to eat I order what I want and eat meat first and let them throw most of the meal away.  Protein bars do the rest.  The main thing is that you prepare beforehand like you are.

Plain nuts, beef jerkey, carry a small amount of protein powder with me, protein bars, a can of tuna in water (pop top lids), a can of chicken or beef vegetable soup...It is funny when I see people who hardly eat now at social gatherings...I start to think...a very diciplined person...they really have it togeather.  It can be seen in a positive way.  You can be socializing and doing that "good ol' boy" networking...but still look and be in control.  Just my thoughts.  Brian

Thanks guys - y'know this is the stuff my brain seems to know - but when you are thrown into the game, it all goes out the window. Practice practice practice.

Thanks

I was sent to China for a week a month and a half out from surgery.  Brought a bunch of protein bars for meals.  The hotel I stayed at had free hordorve's for their happy hour in the evening, one or two of those and I was done for the night.  Had fruit for breakfast.  Sure was a change from my visit the year before surgery.

Just take it easy and drink your water!
