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:}

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
