The OTC ones have way too much sugar and are basically a glorified candy bar- Here is a recipe I have made a million times for all natural protein/energy bars- You can add chips, raisins etc as you like but they are yummy and all natural...

  • 1 cup organic Almond Butter
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter
  • 1 1/2 cup organic local honey
  • 2 cups of Protein powder
  • 1 cup of rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup flax seeds
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (optional)
  • add almond butter, Peanut Butter and honey to a bowl and microwave for 90 sec. Carefully mix until smooth. Then add remaining ingredients.
  • Pour /spread into a baking glas or baking sheet and cover-Referigerate over ***ht. THey will get a bit mushy in heat so etiher eat cold or freeze right before going out so they dont mush up. You can also use vanilla powder instead of chocolate and add chips or raisins etc...

How much Protein per bar?

I ran this recipe through MyFitnessPal recipe builder and it says that if you make 24 bars out of the recipe, you'll get 14 g Protein, 4 g Fiber, 13 g fat, 26 carbs, and 265 calories per bar.

Thanks for looking that up- My answer was going to be NO idea..

Personally it at this point for me is irrelevant for many reasons- A) I know what is going into them B) I am making them and c) they are all natural.

I know what you mean. I try to eat as much organic and natural as possible and stay away from Frankenfoods. I have been doing more of my own cooking. The parts of the diet (pre-surgery etc.) that require me to eat lots of artificial stuff with artificial sweeteners is going to be hard. :unsure:

I prefer the Power Crunch Protein Bars. They are wafers instead of dense Protein so I don't feel heavy after eating them. Plus they taste really good:}

      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.
