Protein bars



Recommended Posts

bariatric pantry keeps sending me ads for Protein Bars. Nowhere in the ad can I find the breakdown of gms of Protein, carbs, sugars and etc. Why don't they provide these? How would I know if it is something I could eat (when that time comes) if I don't have that information... Maybe the answer is...they don't provide it because if they did most wouldn't order it?

I just received an order from dietdirect.com (very fast free shipping) and ordered a variety of Protein bars. I think I got six boxes. I bought BariWise and WonderSlim products. All that I have tried so far are very good. I've had some bad protein bars, but these were really good. I would never know they were protein bars. They do publish all the information about them on their site. Most have 15 grams of Protein. I went looking for the lemon meringe because I heard they were good. They were out of stock. I got the variety pack and it had a lemon one. I can see why they are out of stock. Delish. The crispy ones remind me of like rice krispie crunch dipped in a chocolate or flavor of the bar coating. The count on the Peanut Butter one I had was 15 protein, 15 carbs, and 160 calories. I tried the wonderslim ones (chocolate mint are good) and they are about 15 grams of protein too. You might consider looking at their website. When I was surfing around I got an instant message from their representative giving me a code for $10 off. So that was excellent. You can search for coupon codes because they are out there. I also got a free sample pack that included two drinks. I bought some Bariwise Cappuccino. It was good but sweet. I got some instant Decaf which I might stir in next time. That cup was 15 grams of protein. I made my morning seem more normal. I was a big coffee drinker before. I'd probably order it again or try their hot chocolate. Since I'm telling you about good tasting protein bars...pure protein bars are good and have 20 grams of protein. I get their chocolate peanut butter and chocolate chip. They are really filling. Higher in calories though...200.

I found some great Protein bars..called Power Crunch. They are 200 calories but only 10 carbs and they have 14 g of protein! The best thing about them is they are big so can last for 2 Snacks, but they are really light and crispy, exactly like a "sugar wafer" cookie. And they are delicious! I've seen them at Trader Joes, costco, Vitamin Shoppe, and even Ebay online...they come in about 6 different flavors. And they are big so lots of yummy crunching! Let me know if you want me to upload a picture of one.

And I'm completely hooked on my favs, "Think Thin." The creamy Peanut Butter tastes and feels EXACTLY like a Reese's Peanut Butter cup, and 1 bar usually lasts me 2 "meals" and a bite or two for a snack...one bar has 230 calories (please, like I could ever eat a whole one!), 20 g Protein, and 23 g carbs. Not low-carb, but there are 0 g sugar and they are gluten-free. These things have saved my hiney because I can't tolerate Protein drinks--none of 'em--I just got some Click Mocha, and it's just as gross as the others--it's the smell, like feet! So the bars fill a really important void for me. I definitely don't eat a lot of "junk" food or concentrated carb foods other than these bars, so I feel comfortable including them.

I am going to try some of those Power Crunch bars, too, since I find them almost everywhere I shop, and that would be really convenient--the Think Thin are carried at several major grocery chains around here, but they're not as common as the Power Crunch.

        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
