My doc said I am not allowed to drink my calories including Protein Shakes. he said to get bars if I must do Protein. Can you recommend a good one? I was all set to buy Protein Powder as I really haven't done the bars. it's to curb hunger in a pinch and have something for when I don't have time to make my lunch. Thanks a bunch.

My dietitian told me to buy Cliff Protein bars. I love the mint chocolate ones. They have 20g of Protein. The best price I found was Target, under $6. for 6 of them.

I am surprised by the not having Protein shakes. That has been my Breakfast for 1 1/2 years. I started them before my band.

Thanks all I tried A cliff Protein Bar today I liked it. I love cliff bars they are so good and I love that they are not sweetened with refined sugar. I know it's weird with the shakes. I eas all set to buy the drinks based on most other bansters are doing so he surprised me with this. I challenged him on it because it's Protein healthy stuff he said that if I focus on foods that stay above the band I'll feel Fuller longer than just straight up drinking it. He wants me out of the bad habit of drinking calories protein or not. I trust him I've followed his word to the letter and have dropped 20 lbs in 4 weeks and got over bread cravings. Im taking it all for the betterment if my life.

I like Luna, not as high in Protein as some others, but no grainy taste like the higher Protein ones have. Lemon, peppermint and carrot cake are my favorites.

Take a look at Quest bars. They're quite different than most bars. Nothing artificial and are very good microwaved. High in Fiber.

Check Walmart. Atkins bars has a big choice. I bought some yesterday. My surgeon doesn't have a problem with shakes but I can see where they might not satisfy you as long as a bar would.

Pure Protein bars. I get the at Walmart. They have 20 grams of Protein and only 2 gm of sugar.

My Dr. Also tells me no shakes because they are like slider foods, don't stay in the pouch. You are doing great keep up the good work.

      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.
