Panda, I brought the pure Protein bars yesterday. 20g of protein in One Bar and they taste pretty good. I also like the can shakes they are 35g of protein per serving.

Glad you liked them!: D. I try to have one a day as my snack. I like to keep my protein intake as close to 100g a day as possible. Glad you liked them. I've researched the Quest bars online and these are way more affordable. A lot of times they're 10 for $10 at the grocery store.

I was told by my nutritionist I could do them at 6 weeks. My surgeon personally recommends Quest Bars. They are like 25 or 26g of Protein. You can get them online or GNC sells them too.

      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.
