I had the same exact problem! The Protein Shakes were actually making me super sick, I was so happy to transition to Protein bars, I'd snack on one and it would take me all day but better than nothing, by week 6 I had no problem getting all my protein in via chicken, etc. Love my high protein lifestyle! I don't even miss the carbs!

I've been digging the Quest Protein bars. They've got a little under 20 carbs per bar but it's all dietary Fiber (like 17g) and very minimal sugar (like 3 grams). They're not Meal Replacement, only protein though, and that's a bummer.

There's another wave coming. If you thought this was good wait until you move down the rack at the clothing stores. And there's the energy wave and the no longer avoiding mirrors wave. Surf's up! B)

Gman, I cannot wait for all of that!!!!

I have been enjoying the Zone Protein bars. I can't stand nuts so finding a bar has been tough but they have a fudge graham one and a caramel crunch one that are both delicious and with 14g of Protein.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
