Chepie, if you get her weight and multiply by 150 and then divide that result by how many feeds she has in 24 hours, that will give you a good idea of how much to leave for each feed.
Make up many smaller bottles - your DD probably has big feeds and little ones and so on. She needs 750ml-1litre a day, but it is probably easiest to freeze 80ml-ish lots, and then they can use 1 for a snack and 2 for a big feed.
If she's not used to bottled then you need to start trying her with them now - it can take them a little while to get the hang of it. She will probably take a bottle better for anyone other than you!
As for when you are away, even if your milk does slow down your DD will have it back and running with a couple of days of ore frequent feeding - don't worry about that! Expressing when you would feed her (or every second feed if she's a one-side-a-feed baby) will be fine - just express until things are dripping rather than squirting, and be careful not to make yourself sore.
