Help...protein bars.....ugggh

[janice jones 0]

Ok, so I'm 6 weeks out of gastric bypass surgery and can have Protein Bars for a meal (snack????). So I just ate a Premier Protein Bar that has a weight of 5.63 oz and I'm not suppose to eat over 4 oz. ... of course now i'm really paranoid that i'll stretch my pouch or gain weight. Uggh. should probably cut them in half going forward or no big deal really?? Your thought?

I could only eat 1/2 Quest bar for the first several months. A whoke one just made me too full. (Aaaah, those were the days). So just eat what you can (or are supposed to) and save the rest for later. Makes for a really cheap grocery bill.

Usually it is volume that is concerning... not so much weight of the item. I am a believer in listening to your body, eat to absence of hunger and save the rest for later! And yes, the good old days. I have alot more capacity now, that is for sure.

You'll really really really need to work at stretching it....lol 80% of its gone

But understand most of the stretchy part of the stomach has been removed. Its not gonna happen from a few oz.
