On Thursday I'm going to be in a car for 8+ hours on my way to Ohio with DH.
Does anyone have ideas for Car Food I will have a cooler

well, with the cooler and 8 hours, how about packing what you would normally eat? protein, veggies, water, a wee bit of fruit. pre-op, i guess we all could have viewed such a LONG trip as a major snack-a-thon, but post-op, it simply can't be!!!!

salad, cut up veggies, humus perhaps. not sure jello would last well. i'm a big believer in laughing cow lite wedges and individual servings of peanuts

lots of liquid [but you knew that!]

hmmmm. i'm sure others will come up with FAR more interesting ideas!!!!

So far I have String Cheese and laughing cow light I'm going to get grape tomatoes and either a bag of precut veggies or carrots I might make a veggie and bean salad and if DH wants it I'll get some low carb wraps and make sandwiches
I'm going to bring Oatmeal to the hotel b/c I know the "continental Breakfast" is going to be a crapfest and bring some food to the convention area too I just have to find an insulated lunch bag for that

The Update
I went to the store and got grape tomatoes, baby carrots, 2 pears la tortilla low carb wraps 80 calories 12 grams of fiber Salad both for tonight and to put in the wraps (I'm bringing all the fixins too so I can eat Smart all weekend) and I have some bars/snacks that are more Kier friendly and I told him if he wants to eat at La Greasy Spoon thats cool I just don't want too.
=D I'm proud of me I actually put my needs before whats easy!

geezzz louise! you're putting me to shame, here!!!

i'm going to a scientific meeting this weekend in san diego, and i have a container of roasted soy beans, some laughing cow lite, and protein powder. i figure i can handle ANYTHING with that - oh, and lots of decent tea.
