traveling for work and nervous about food choices

I have to travel today for work to Austin , tx. I will be there food five days. I'm really nervous about eating as I am 3 weeks post op. Hotel food is generally rich even the soups can be a bit much.

Any suggestions.

Work travel would be challenging at 3 weeks out.  I took a vacation at 2 weeks out but got a room with a fridge & microwave and brought my own food for most meals.

I would definitely pack protein powder & buy milk (if you can tolerate it).  A shaker / blender bottle is adequate for mixing most shakes.   Anything else that is non-perishable and on your meal plan would be good... convenience stores have cheese.  You're probably too early for nuts, but that is another item that I pick up in a pinch.  Now, I would also bring a box of protein bars, a good idea if your plan allows for that.  I was still on purees at 3 weeks.  Ordering out, refried beans were a staple.  I've heard that Wendy's chili is WLS friendly.

Have a good trip!

All the suggestions given already are good. When I travel, I still take baby food
with me....really. Sometimes I end up in a hotel where there are no nearby
food places and my choices are sandwiches, pasta and rich foods...yikes.
SO, I take baby chicken sticks- kinda like vienna sausages only without all
the sodium and no pork...all chicken and finger foods and soft and chewy
AND a great source of protein. Then I take sweet potatoes and pears etc.
I also take some pureed chicken and I add it to soups that otherwise don't
have protein...like tomato soup or vegetable soup..it adds protein but
almost no flavor. I can't taste it at all in tomato soup. I'm not so good with
dry protein bars, but they might work for you.  Ask the hotel for a microwave
and a refrigerator due to special diet needs and see if they pony up. Then
you can stop at a nearby market and make your own stuff.  Good luck!

I travel extensively for work, and I'm still having trouble tolerating any solid food.  I bring individual packets of protein powder (I prefer Syntrax to mix in water), and Unjury Chicken Soup powder, some individual wrapped cheese and babyfood meat.  I put it all in a checked bag, and have no problems.  In meetings, I just tell folks that I'm on a strict doctor's diet, and all is well.  If you going overseas, the cheese may not be acceptable to bring into some countries, but the unopened protein powder is no issue.

I also keep at least 2 protein powder individual packs with me on the plane, and buy a couple of bottles of water once I'm past security at the airport.

Have you tried any of the high protein yogurts, cottage cheese, protein shakes made with milk and maybe if no fridge buy a little cooler and pack with some ice and pack a few small things of these type in their? Good luck hope it is working out for you.
