A delicious little protein bar!



Recommended Posts

I just tried the Atkins Day Break Apple Crisp Bar. OMG, that sucker was DELICIOUS!!! It's 130 calories, 10 grams of Protein, and 17 total carbs, but 4 net carbs. It is uber yummy. A great little sweet apple cinnamon protein pick me up in between Breakfast and lunch! So far K-mart is the only place I've seen this flavor. Plus there were coupons for Atkins Protein Bars in last Sunday's Baltimore Sun. $1.50 off any 2 boxes!

I want this soo bad! Apple Cinnamon is my favorite flavor by far! Too bad there are no K-Marts in Canada, and the atkins website charges $6.29 per bar!! This is outrageous. How much do the protein bars cost at K-mart and does anyone know how I could get some in Canada? Im sick and tired of Cookies and cream flavoured protein bars, I think it is time for a change!

I just as my sleeve on 4/25/11 and I don't knowhow many carbs I should be having. Did your doctor tell you how many carbs daily and the amount of calories you should be consuming?

Since I've posted this I've found them in some Walmarts, too. They are $5.50 a box. While the drug store near me does have the Atkins bars, just not this flavor. Try Amazon. I've seen them there pretty cheap, too. Also, the almond cranberry is pretty tastey, too!

I try to keep my carbs under 50, but occassionally they go up to 55, so that's not so bad. I get about 700-800 calories a day. It seems to be working. I notice though if I just eat Protein for lunch or dinner, I don't try to have any veggies, I can usually get in a little more calories...plus I think it depends on how active I am in the day too. My doctor said he's not going to give me number, just that the 450 calories a day I was at was too few. I'm losing weight just fine on the 700-800 calories and all of my blood work is coming back fine. Well, my good cholesterol is low, so I rearranged what I was eating to try to get different types of Protein in. Still equalled out the same amount of calories.

How long did it take you to work up to 700-800 calories? I'm one month out and averaging about 350. And the weight is not falling off which scares me. I lost 1.5 last week. But I'm really not comfortable health wise being at this low of a calorie intake and I think it's actually defeating the weight loss process.

Today was a bad day. I wasn't even able to eat 2 ounces of cottage cheese for lunch. I got a bit over 1 ounce in.

You can get Atkins bars at vitacost.com They have every possible thing you can think of. It's $4.99 shipping but they offer free shipping very often.

I think it's free shipping right now on orders over $49. I get my BSN Lean

Dessert Protein Powder there too.

It took me about 2 months to get up to 700 calories. Quite honestly, most days I'm around 650. I started doing things to increase my calories. For example, with my Protein shake I use the unflavored unjury, 1 cup of lactose free 2% milk, 1 tbsp of low fat Hershey's chocolate Syrup, 1 tbps of reduced fat Peanut Butter, and about 10 almonds. That in itself is around 400 calories and 33 grams of Protein. Granted, I can't drink the whole thing - it takes about 2 hours. The more stuff I put in it the harder it is for me to finish it. But, since I can drink more calories than eat, I make sure my Protein Shake really counts. I usually have a shake for breakfast.

It takes time, but eventually you will be able to get a little more in. Right now I'm up to 4.5 oz of food at a time, which is better than the 1 oz I was at after surgery. I still measure everything too. I noticed when I s tarted increasing my calories I s tarted losing more weight, plus I had more energy to exercise!

Hi Twin... I had my surgery on the same day as you and my doctor told me to keep the carbs to no more than 30g

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
