So in IMG_6833.JPGeffort to reach my daily Protein goal (80 grams) without having to drink a shake everyday I have been looking for alternative protein sources.

Today I tried a bag of Quest chips in cheddar/sour cream. 21 grams of Protein~130 calories~4 grams of carbs.

I thought they were pretty good. The flavor wasn’t bad and they kinda taste like baked chips that are off brand. 🤪 I would eat them again and they helped with my desire to crunch. I was able to eat the whole bag in 1 sitting so I’m pretty sure they are sliders so I’ll have to watch it. I thought it would make a great on the go snack and the bump in protein (listed as milk isolate and whey) it what I need to meet my goals.

Anyone tried these? Is there any reason they would not make a good replacement for a Protein Drink besides maybe missing some Vitamins and minerals? The chips actually have less calories than my Protein Shakes.

I've got a bag I bought a couple weeks ago and haven't tried yet. Will try to remember to try them tonight!

I love them, but for me they are def. a slippery slope. I'm a chip hound. I love the BBQ the best, but the sour cream and onion, and cheddar sour cream are good too. I haven't had them post surgery. Too askeered. I used to eat a 1/2 bag with a low carb wrap pre-op. Never kept me from losing. But I would absolutley go for them preferentially over real food for Snacks.

      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.
