What food phase are you introducing Protein Bars?

I think it would almost have to be in full foods because they really don't seem to meet any of the other categories.

Don't get too excited about it. I have tried numerous different kinds and all the ones I have tried are nasty. The titles sound good, but I have yet to find one that I love. The most tolerable ones I have found are Atkins Indulgence Coconut (tastes like mounds) and Fudge Nut (tastes and looks like Little Debbie fudge brownie), but they only have about 6-7 grams of Protein. The ones that have 15 or more I have taken one bite and tossed it.

:(

I like the Zone Protein bars (dbl choc almond). They have I think 12-14g of protein. I'm super picky and those are the ones I can eat without gagging. I saw today Snickers makes one...20 grams of protein it also had 280 calories but not sure if that's considered too high. I thought the protein amt was excellent. Unfortunately I didn't buy it because they didn't have any individual bars and I didn't want to buy the box in case I didn't like it.

Unfortunately the more Protein a bar has the worse it tastes. I'm not even sure why one would call anything a Protein Bar when it has more carbs than protein. I'm pretty sure that as a sleever, especially a new sleever we need more protein than carbs, which would make "protein" bars a detriment to your food goals. There are better ways to get in your protein is all I'm saying.

I've settled on Quest Bars. More than tasty enough with a ton of Protein and Fiber. Heat them up a bit for a really tummy treat. Buy on Amazon for best price.

I REALLY like the Power Crunch Peanut Butter Cream. The stats aren't too terrible.

Having said that, I've had to ditch them completely over the past month. They stall me out. Sigh. So yeah... I'm saying "see you later" to them until maintenance.

      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.
