Protein Bar in Soft Food Phase?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried Atkins Protein meal bars (or any other bar) while in the soft food stage? Obviously chewed to a puree.

I'm having a hard time getting in all my protein and I actually like those bars. Just wondering. Thanks!

Could you just drink a Protein Shake instead? Or a yogurt? Or add Protein Powder to Soup? I don't start soft food till tomorrow, but those are pretty hard! I'm sure you're pretty sick of Protein Drinks and yogurt (I sure am!), but what I think things like tuna and deli meat have more Protein than the Atkins bars. I love the S'mores ones myself!

If I never have to see another Protein Drink in my life It'll be too soon! Although I may have to.

I'm eating eggs and chicken and cheese, Beans didn't agree with me nor did the deli turkey. I forgot about yogurt. Maybe I'll try that. Thanks!

You can also try fish and ground turkey/chicken/beef. Those are soft, per my plan. Good luck! I can't wait to try some solid food tomorrow!

And... have you tried using Protein Shake in your coffee? (If you drink coffee). I mix 5.5 oz (half a Protein shake) with about 11 oz of iced coffee and it tastes pretty good.

      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.
