Sullie06 1,013 Posted July 20, 2017 I will eat Protein Bars on occasion when skipping a meal, so mostly on the weekends. I found that I like the Atkins Meal Replacement bars the best because they are low carb and really not badly flavored. If I'm supplementing between meals I stick to a shake or Protein Water so that I'm still able to eat my protein based meal as well. I did not start eating protein bars until 4 months out and I had the clearance from my NUT and Surgeon as well. I don't eat them regularly either, I would say maybe once a week. 1 hmills653 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
travelergirl 142 Posted July 20, 2017 I tried my first Protein Bar in week 6 and it was fine. I traveled for work in week 7 and they were great to have while on plane or hotel when my options were limited.Sent from my SM-G920V using BariatricPal mobile app 2 hmills653 and ZumbaMami reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Missy161 395 Posted July 21, 2017 I went to Sprouts market today and found an entire aisle of Protein bars. I was able to find 3 that had no tree nuts and fit the sugar limitation. Power crunch (2 flavors)And One birthday cake flavor. Mich WHw 223, SW 217 CW 199 GW 135 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jess9395 5,449 Posted July 22, 2017 Kind bars are amazing whole food ingredients but had too many carbs for me in the weight loss phase.I love Power Crunch and Quest, but at six weeks could only eat about half of a bar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But you can indeed lose weight including them. Especially if you are careful to only use the low/no sugar ones. 1 Missy161 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joann454 1,329 Posted July 27, 2017 I lost 136lbs (271 to 135) and have kept it off for four years, and they were and continue to be a part of my diet.I understand your plans don't include them, and that's terrific. But you can indeed lose weight including them. Especially if you are careful to only use the low/no sugar ones. I eat them but find two things that are bad (for me). 1) I'm lazy and will eat them instead of preparing food if I have them around2) they don't keep me full like dense Protein willSo I will buy one if I'm out shopping and hungry but try not to buy boxes anymore. 3 Missy161, ZumbaMami and travelergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
