Thread: I`M IN A DILEMMA .......HELP !

Many of you know I am travelling up to nottingham tomo after kids get back from school.....well my dilemma is we will be staying at a "travel lodge" which is a basic room with no fridge etc, how can I make my drinks up with no cold water.....then I would have to take a pyrex jug and blender with us.

We have to be out of the room by 10 am sat so could have breakfast drink (but not cold), but how can I sort the rest of the day as hospital wont let you use your own goods.

So should I try to get round it ( how ) or just try to eat sensibly for the day ???????

All thoughts and ideas gratefully received.

Can you take soups??? They make up well with hot water from a kettle.

Hope it all goes well tomorrow. Will be thinking of you.

could take a big bottle cold water..or boil up in kettle....a good hand held blender and plastic jug, big mug and youre away.....

Oh I have no ideas hun!!

Maybe bring bottled water and leave it in the boot of your car til you need it (water is always cold if its been in the boot of my car!!)
Then for the next day, have you got bars you could bring?

I just cant get to a kettle in the hospital, its sat I have the problem with as we have to be out the room by 10 am, then I will be spending the rest of the day at the hospital to make the most of the time with Wayne before travelling back home sat night......!

Hi Sonkie

Sorry about your 'Dimella'! Could you get some tetra's from your CDC before you go?

Hi Sonkie

can you make up hot drinks - chocolate / caramel / mint choc?
Have you thought of making a couple of packs into muffins / crisps and taking with you?
Failing that I am sure that the relatives room will have facilities for you to use or ask a nurse if you can use the staff facilities [I am sure they will be understanding]

If all else fails have all your packs together in the morning or when you get home
Hope that helps
Nadine

I cant tolerate the flapjacks........good idea bout keeping water cool in boot of car....I wont be allowed to use my hand held blender in hospital as any thing electrical has to be tested first

Im on Lipotrim so have not got the packs etc you mention

It's one of our favourites to have the chocolate shake hot for breakfast. Mix the powder into a paste and then add boiling water slowing while stiring. We've never blended them they mix up perfectly that way. I make two mug fulls with my one pack.

Can you have your first shake just before you check out of your room and then the others when you get home? I know it'll be hard, but you have done sooooo well not turning to food up til now that it would be a shame to break it now hun

Sorry Sonkie forgot it was lipotrim. There are beakers you can buy from health food shops that are used as a way of shaking up shakes as they have a water tight lid and shaker bit on the top. You could try to get one of those. They work fairly well.

Looks like that will be the option for me, just we wont be getting home until late on sat, just hope it dont make me ill waiting all day. How much damage would something like a ham salad do....out of interest....lol Just in case

I have no idea of the damage, but I would imagine if you have to eat then the best thing would be some plain chicken breast hun
