How Soon Did You Start Eating Protein Bars?

Hi,

I'm 4 weeks out from surgery and I'm just looking ahead. I'm curious, when did you all start to be able to eat Protein Bars?

Thanks!

I started eating Protein bars as soon as I was back on solid food. They are VERY dense, so chew well, eat slowly and don't be afraid to wrap one up and eat the rest later.

i started at 2 months and still cant find one that tastes good enought that i dont force myself to eat.

The only ones I tolerate are Premier Protein (Sams and costco sell them) and the Clif bars. I have to watch myself with the clif bars, though, because they are higher in calories and lower in Protein, but they taste so good that I've made them a once a day treat.

I had one sometime in the middle of the second month, though I probably could have had one earlier given all the other "normal" type foods that I had been having before that. I have evolved into having the Quest bars when I have one as they have one of the best Protein per calorie ratios out there, I like several of their varieties, they have little or no sugar alcohols in them (depending on variety - many people have problems with sugar alcohols), and they have a lot of Fiber which most of us can use.
