Can anyone recommend a good Protein Bar? ? I've been having problems on days I work with getting too hungry between lunch & dinner. I eat lunch at 11am & bc of the work I do I don't get to sit down for another meal until after 6pm. By then I'm famished & binge on all the wrong foods. I'm thinking if I eat a Protein bar or 2 in between meals I won't feel the need to binge at dinner. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

My favorite is Clif Builder Bar chocolate Mint. It tastes like a candy bar and 20gms of Protein.< /em>

I AGREE! About the Clif bar!! I had a chocolate coconut one last wk which was really good and filling.. I had it in halves.. I just bought the Chocolate mint one.. Haven't had it yet! But now excited to try it..

most of the Protein Bars have so many calories and carbs, I hate to waste my calories and carbs like that. can you bring some individual string cheese sticks with you? I have started taking a small cooler everywhere with me. I always have extra H2O, low fat dressing and a small snack. I agree that is way too long between meals. I have also started buying Seapoint dry roasted edamame ( nutty treat), a small hand full is 130 calories, 10 carbs, 14 grams of Protein. I brought them to the movies the last time we went. my husband has popcorn and it is hard to resist but this helped! some of this brand has dried fruit too, so tasty & I love that I get some protein!!

So, after trying way too many Protein Bars, my favourites are from Powerbar and Herbalife. They both have amazing dessert/candy type-bars (Powerbar Pria, Triple Threat; Herbalife Deluxe Citrus Lemon, Peanut Butter.) We prefer those (for obvious reasons,) but my wife and I actually eat PowerBar Harvest Apple bars the most since they don't melt in our pockets on the go. They do, however, turn deliciously soft and moist! :D

Amazon is your friend. Awesome prices, great service, and free shipping (over 25$ or 2-day if you have Prime). And a lot of protein bars are eligible for Subscribe and Save (which gives an extra 15% off).

I tend to eat the big Powerbars half at a time, too. They are pretty filling, and splitting it into two Snacks keeps my metabolism going and doesn't overfill me. Having half at a time to bridge the gap between meals is perfect. :)

I brought them to the movies the last time we went. my husband has popcorn and it is hard to resist but this helped!

We did it. We got popcorn at the movies last month as a special treat since we NEVER do that, and I have to tell you...we learned our lesson! It was delicious, but we both felt awful for at least a day afterward. So much fat, sodium...and just plain unwholesome. And I LOVE salt, so for me to say that is telling. We won't be doing that again! :P

cheese is high in protein, but also fat. The 'light' string cheese Sargento makes is actually really tasty though! :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
