It's worth it. The worrying about it is worse than the doing it

OMG I am really excited to have found these! I'm sure a lot of you know about them but I just discovered them. For those who haven't tried them, they are Protein Bars that taste good, are extremely low in sugar (2-3 grams), very satisfying and 20 grams of protein! Best of all, the original line has NO sugar alcohols whoo hooo! I really dont want to have two shakes a day forever and, I wanted something I could travel with when necessary. Awesome!

I quit so I could have this surgery but I really miss it. I hope I don't turn to smoking again in place of food.< /p>

Congrats!

Protein Shakes were part of fluids. I was given them straight through. They were the only thing I had for a while! They are an awesome source of Protein without being rough on our stomachs. If you have no energy up the protein for sure. Make that shake!

Agreed. This is either Water gain or your scale may need new batteries. Those fluctuations are too big, especially if you didn't make a huge food change!

It will get better, honest. I felt exhausted too. All of a sudden you snap back. Make sure that you are getting in your Protein and Vitamins

it varies. General rule is if you are stalled lay off the sugar alcohols

Sugar alcohols were ok in moderation but wow can they stall weight loss. Bummer

I'm stuck too but I know from previous weight loss experience, it happens. Atkins said a stall wasn't a stall until 4 weeks. My previous pattern was to stall three weeks and drop it all the fourth week. Frustrating but it's a pattern I had in the past. I was hoping this would have me losing weight faster and that I wouldn't stall like this but I guess I am going to!

I am way more sensitive to both taste and smell. It's not just you! I cant stand Water from a water bottle anymore because I swear I now taste the plastic lol.

I ordered some online last night Vicki. Anyone have trouble with Protein Bars stalling them? I know sugar alcohols can be bad news from being a professional Atkins dieter lol.

I'm 5 weeks and 5 days out. I hope you feel better Mz Shay!

Which ones have you tried and which are your favorites? The worst? I want to order some but need suggestions. Yes, I want high Protein but I also need them edible please! Thanks!

I thought those days are over but here I am fighting with food again. I really need to up my calories to 1000 a day and my Protein to 60-80 but I'm still barely making 800 calories and 60-80 Protein. I drink two Protein shakes a day so that's what is currently helping me get that high. The problem is, either it tastes bad or the texture is bothering me. Having to chew the hell out of everything is making me notice texture things that I never noticed before and it's grossing me out. The only things that taste ok to me don't have protein and I NEED the protein. The shakes are bugging me because absolutely everything tastes too sweet now. If I could just eat carbs I'd be ok but I can't.

At first nothing bothered me to eat and now the only thing I enjoy is a refreshing fudgsicle. Everything else is work. I may have to go to nothing but shakes for a while, I dont know. One of my favorites was always shrimp. Wow, when you have to chew things to a pulp shrimp has some really gross texture properties lol. I could barely choke them down. I cant tolerate tacos even though I could before because they stick. Everything sticks except liquids which are fine.

I'm not regretting having the surgery at all. I haven't regretted it for a minute but I have to figure out how I can eat! I'm scared to try Pasta. Can you guys tolerate it?

I slept all the time too. For like three weeks after I HAD to take a long afternoon nap, like 3 hours. I'm fine now. Our bodies just needed that rest to heal.

a few weeks. When the gas was really getting to me.

Don't hate yourself, just use this experience to make yourself better. You probably wont run out and do that again real soon! Live, learn and move on from it! Hope you feel better.

I had gastric bypass and yep, food gets stuck if you eat too fast or don't chew well or, if you eat the wrong thing.

lol I craved a cheeseburger throughout my 10 day pre op liquid diet. I think it's because it was the most "meaty" substantive thing I could think of and all I was doing was drinking stuff. We always want what we can't have.

hmmm, I never heard of them. I bet they taste scary lol

I bought it at the drug store and at the grocery store. They have it on Amazon too. It's made a real big difference for me.

Remember, it will take time for the Biotin to work but it definitely does!

Could you be constipated?

I have been taking Trubiotics and it's a small capsule
