Has anyone tried the Zone bars? I found one yesterday that is cinnamon roll! Very good! 210 cal, 15g protien, 22gcarb and 15g sugar...seems a little high but maybe not so bad if you only have a few bites at a time..I've also tried the fudge Graham cracker one..

I worry less about the rest and more about just getting enough Protein and nutrients. I really like the nature valley Protein Bars and they do have 190 calories but 10g of protein and they taste great and are low carb/sugar. protein bars are a great portable way to stay on the eatting frequently track and if you put one in a plastic baggy you can just nibble on it off and on and it doesnt get all hard and gross.

Zone are tasty :) but for some lower sugar/carb options there are Quest, PureProtein, NuGo, Preimer Protein and Think Thin.

I like the Think Thin bars a lot, and they are almost always on sale at my supermarket.

The Quest ones sound good and there's a few Atkins ones that don't sound bad. I haven't had any yet since I'm only 3.5 weeks out, maybe in a few weeks I can try some.

Lol Jen! I'm glad there is someone out there (successful post-op) who doesn't use Protein bars. Im allergic to nuts and so far I haven't found one that's safe for me to eat. If you can manage without them then there's hope for me! lol

Remember for every 10 grams of Protein calories need to be 100 or less

      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.
