Protein bar of choice



Recommended Posts

Good Morning!

Great replies from everyone! Thought I might add my 2 cents.

I was banded september of 09 and made it a point to take this weight off SLOOOOOWLY. Im doing it, im under 200 and started at 246. I want it all to be off 3 years from my band date. Ok, I know, im weard, lol. At this rate it will be! :P

I dont do the Protein drinks, they tend to go right through me and im hungry a short time later. I do have a Protein Bar once a day. Usualy in between meals. I eat 5 very small meals a day. I found one that was decent in calories and high in Protein and low in sugar. I t kinda takes me back a bit. Im going to age myself here. When I was around 5 or 6 my Mom used to eat figurine bars. Anyone remember them???? :o Well when I bit into this bar it went alllll the way back to 5 or 6 years old and sneaking into the cupboard to steal moms SPECIAL food! The name of the bar is Power Crunch protein bar. it has 200 calories, 13 grams of protein, 5 grams of sugar and 1 gram of Fiber. I only eat the choco Peanut Butter ones and they go down pretty good. I can only eat half at a time, so I stretch it out over an hour or more. I also work construction so this is perfect for me when we are on the road working. Its a wafer type bar and I LOVE it.

I do eat alot of protein and good veges at my regular meals, eggs in the morning, I can get 1 down, and rolled turkey or ham in the afternoon with some swiss inside, dinner will usualy be anything meat,,and some broccoli, cabbage or cauliflower, etc.

If Protein Bars arent you thing you could try some greek yogurt too, 14 grams of protein! Or some Nuts,,mmmmm one of my favorites.

OH ,PS I have a 9cc realize band and it has 8.25cc's in it.

Have a great day everyone!

Becca :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
