International Travel 5-6 months out
I'm going to have my RNY May 12th. My wife and I are planning a trip to SE Asia early in November. As I educate myself about my future diet post op, I'm very concerned about whether it's feasible to make this trip into a 3rd world country for a two week visit and obtaining foods and dependable water that I'll require.
Has anyone completed international travel after 5-6 months? Thanks.

Hi......I traveled to Turkey and Romania about 6 months out from my surgery. I packed enough individual protein drink mixes (Unjury sells individual packs pre measured) to make sure I had all the protein I needed. Bottled water was available wherever I went so that was not a problem for me. I also made sure to carry my vitamins and protien mix in my carry on in case my baggage got lost.
I traveled to South Africa at 5 months out. Bottled water was easily available. I brought plenty of protein powder, protein bars and jerky with me for when the meal choices were not in my plan. I particularly like the Syntrax Nectar flavors and they have the Grab and Go in many of the flavors so that I didn't have little baggies full of powder (if you know what I mean!)
I think that it is totally do-able! All of my vitamins were in a pill minder to take daily.
Enjoy your trip!!
