Protein bars??



Recommended Posts

Is there any type of Protein Bars we are allowed to have?

Anybody have any good ideas in a type I should try? I need something for either at work it after working out.

I'm just worried about being dizzy from working out on so much fewer calories

I love Atkins Protein bars!! They are the best tasting that I've had and have low net carbs (if you watch that). They are perfect to take with you if you are on the go!

I agree... Atkins are the lowest carbs, but there are a lot out there. Usually located near the Protein Powder. Watch for the calories though and be sure to log them.

I don't use them except for if I have to replace a meal...I always have one in my purse in case I can't eat a real meal and feel my blood sugar dropping.

That said, I like Atkins and hate Quest bars. I cannot understand the good reviews about Quest bars...they are slimy, taste awful and unnatural. On the other hand, one would never binge on them so that's a good thing!

Great point about calories. Calories vary a lot with Protein Bars :)

There's nothing wrong with Quest bars, I like them ~ everyone has different tastes and you need to try things for yourself to figure out what you like...Best Wishes :)

I replace Breakfast with Protein bars and I love the yogurt granola bars from Quaker.

I also like the nature valley chocolate cherry...They both have 150- 190 calories.

Watch ingredient lists very carefully on Protein bars... A lot of them are just processed crap that amount to nothing more than a glorified candy bar.

      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.
