Protein Bars



Recommended Posts

So does anyone have a Protein Bar (or in my case part of one) for Breakfast instead of Protein shakes?

I'm finding I like them better and can eat it better than drinking a shake.

Thank you for your input.

I am 5 weeks out and have a Protein bar a couple times a week with no problems. It's a nice change. Just watch out for the carbs

I'm considering having one every morning instead of a shake. I haven't been able to eat an egg or anything else breakfasty since surgery. And I usually eat breakfast on the run so my options are limited.

The bars I found that I like are the Quest bars. The carb counts a bit high but I try not to consume to many any other place right now. I'm still focusing on getting enough Protein in.

I've been eating half one every morning. Yes the have carbs but I don't really watch carbs I just try to get enough Water, protein and calories in a day.

I'm a fan of the vanilla crunch and coconut cashew. They have 22 carbs but the VAST majority of that is Fiber. 18 grams!!!) so really the net carbs are 4...not too bad for a protein bar. They don't have the texture I want in a bar but they're pretty good overall!

Pure Protein bars are pretty good from what I've heard. I eat the chocolate deluxe and its wonderful. Try that one. It's found at Walmart.< /p>

I like the consistency of the Quest bars. Feels like I'm eating a meal. Some of the others remind me too much of a candy bar. I'm trying to steer clear of all candy type things.

I started eating Protein bars at about 8 weeks out. Mainly because I needed the extra calories and Protein. Was still having a hard time getting them in. Now I just use as a Meal Replacement or if I'm feeling like additional calories are in order.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
