My doc said be weary of Protein bars as they have a lot of things we don't need to eat. He said if you are on the go he understands eating them every once in a while, but they should not be part of you regular diet

A year. Protein Bars have so many carbs and sugar that the Protein value is hardly worth it. Emergency option only

There are a lot of low carb low sugar options now. You have to be careful and read the labels. . Thanks goodness. They are life savors when I travel.

Yeah I'm allotted 6g per serving so that's not an option for me

Pure Protein bars have 3 grams of sugar and 20 grams of protein. I don't eat them everyday but when I need to eat (like when it is crazy at work) I break it in half or thirds for a quick snack.< /p>

Where can I find the pure Protein bars? I need help with my protein intake and shakes just make me nauseous at this point.

Half of one would be perfect for a snack. I may pick some up today.

      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.
