Somebody Suggestion A Good Protein Bar?!



Recommended Posts

Special K makes some great Protein bars. They have chocolate, chocolate caramel (my fav) and Peanut Butter chocolate. They have 10 grams of Protein and are at a nice price point. I can buy them at BJ's 24 bars for $17.99!

My nut had warned that Protein Bars with a lot protein grams usually don't taste good.

But most stores sell protein bars in singles, so try all different kinds. Speaking from experience though keep a list of how good they are. I bought a bunch of bars, liked some hated others and thought some were ok. Unfortunately, I didn't write down what I thought, I figured surely I would remember,... yeah, I promptly forgot when I went to buy more!

I have a problem getting Protein bars that aren't also loaded with sugar. I can handle sugar better than my Roux N Y wife, she gets heart palpitations, claminess, headaches, and light-headedness.

I like Jay Rob, order samples of different brands.

Careful of the ones with sugar alcohols. For some people they create excess gas or stomach cramps. I ended up with two days of gas. Learned the hard way.

I love the Nature Valley Protein Bars!

Surprisingly- the Nature Valley ones aren't "that" bad* for you and are available at most supermarkets.

In the grand scheme of things- having 1/2 of the NV Protein bars and a Muscle Milk Lite makes a pretty good snack or meal. I have a super busy job and they are my go-to meals a few times a week.

*Providing you just eat one and don't rely on them for all your meals. :)

My favorite are the OH Yeah bars. Have them at Vitamin shop and vitacost. They are really good. Peanut Butter and caramel are the best.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
