You can have lots of things. It just depends on how you want to spend your calories. But as an occasional treat, I'm sure these are not the worst choice out there. B)

But beware, Atkins products use a lot of sugar alcohols and a lot of people get dumping with them.

I completely understand came to get some Protein Water at and they have a 1/2 of row just for all Protein Shakes Snacks etc. Have not seen that before. Or more like it never noticed it.

Yeah, those of us who've done Atkins in the past know that aisle well :blush: Yes, they've always been there (or others like them). But like I said, beware of sugar alcohols. Not everyone can tolerate them.

Is it bad for me to say I wish I had a negative reinforcement that would keep me in check? :blush:

I live in the land of negative reinforcement. It sucks! Can't wait to move out of the neighborhood!

Looks great as an occasional treat but you may soon find out you will have not problem eating those in large quantities compared to pure Protein sources and if your are reaching for Atkins candy bars first, that's when the problem occurs. Can't rely on supplements forever, and those can make you want to...

I wish I were the kind of person who could eat one serving and walk away. One serving of candy, for me, is all the candy under one roof! Then I’ll hold your family hostage until you bring me another truckload!

      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.
