Going out of town - DIFFICULT!
Sleeved 6/12/13 - 100 pounds lost to get to goal!
In the short term, a refillable water bottle and a small ziplock containing a scoop of your preferred shake powder and 1/4 cup of powdered milk will get you through a lot of tight spots. You can ge****er and ice most anyplace.

Even without a card--I'd tell them you either just had surgery or that you have severe allergies. Stretching the truth, perhaps, but really--they have to allow you to bring in what you can have if they don't have things you can have.
I find travel difficult, too, especially with kids. My dr. says "just eat at steakhouses," but when you're with kids, that's not always reasonable (or affordable). It does get easier as you get further out.
You're exactly right. I was on a budget so going out to a steakhouse wasn't exactly on the plan especially with little ones. I later went to a grocery store and purchased some greek yogurt and jerky and was able to eat that when we went to Balboa Park. I took the kids for a stroll and was able to eat then but while in the museums and places where we spent most of the day indoors and were not allowed food it was difficult. This was quite an eye opener and will definitely take that in consideration next time. I should've used the card Dr. Aceves gave me, but am glad things will get better the further out I am. One thing I did do is fit in my workout. I did quite a bit of walking with the stroller and playing at the beach in the sand for hours. It was nice to go back to the hotel, bathe the boys, and have them out as soon as they out their little heads ont the pillow.
The good news is that all that walking and running paid off. I weighed in today at 197.6 which puts me at ONEDERLAND!!! WOOHOO!!!
