Protein/Meal Replacement Bars



Recommended Posts

Hey there

I have a question, my surgeon requires a 10 liquid pre-op diet. I am going to take that one step further and do a 14 day diet and the 4 days prior to all the liquids I want to mix in some protein/meal replacement bars. I was wondering which ones you would recommend? Looking for high Protein, lower carb and sugar that doesn't taste like chalk.

Thanks much

I like the South Beach Diet Protein bars.

Best wishes for your upcoming surgery.

I like the South Beach bars because they don't have a ton of sugar like some of them do. That keeps the hunger pangs down.

Pure Protein Bars are good and 20 grams of protein!!! (WalMart)

I like the Luna Bars the best but they are only 10 grams.

Both under 200 calories.

"SO??? WE'RE SUPPOSE TO EAT THREE MEALS AND HAVE 60 GRAMS OF Protein? "

Yep. That's actually fairly easy to do. I get 20 grams from my protein pudding, 47 from my Protein Drink, and an additional 20-30 from tuna. My doctor also allows a protein snack, in addition to the three meals. 100+ grams a day of protein is not uncommon for a lot of us.

Thanks for all the great feedback. I went to Target tonight and they sell single Protein bars so I bought a luna bar, a south beach bar and a kashi bar. I like that idea that way if I don't like it I am not stuck with a whole box of them.

I'm not allowed to eat them. doctor wants me to eat real meat and protiens. He thinks the bars have to many carbs and are potential triggers for PBs and getting stuck.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
