Can anyone recommend a good Protein Bar? ? I've been having problems on days I work with getting too hungry between lunch & dinner. I eat lunch at 11am & bc of the work I do I don't get to sit down for another meal until after 6pm. By then I'm famished & binge on all the wrong foods. I'm thinking if I eat a Protein bar or 2 in between meals I won't feel the need to binge at dinner. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

My favorite is Clif Builder Bar chocolate Mint. It tastes like a candy bar and 20gms of Protein.< /em>

most of the Protein Bars have so many calories and carbs, I hate to waste my calories and carbs like that. can you bring some individual string cheese sticks with you? I have started taking a small cooler everywhere with me. I always have extra H2O, low fat dressing and a small snack. I agree that is way too long between meals. I have also started buying Seapoint dry roasted edamame ( nutty treat), a small hand full is 130 calories, 10 carbs, 14 grams of Protein. I brought them to the movies the last time we went. my husband has popcorn and it is hard to resist but this helped! some of this brand has dried fruit too, so tasty & I love that I get some protein!!

So, after trying way too many Protein Bars, my favourites are from Powerbar and Herbalife. They both have amazing dessert/candy type-bars (Powerbar Pria, Triple Threat; Herbalife Deluxe Citrus Lemon, Peanut Butter.) We prefer those (for obvious reasons,) but my wife and I actually eat PowerBar Harvest Apple bars the most since they don't melt in our pockets on the go. They do, however, turn deliciously soft and moist! :D

Amazon is your friend. Awesome prices, great service, and free shipping (over 25$ or 2-day if you have Prime). And a lot of protein bars are eligible for Subscribe and Save (which gives an extra 15% off).

I tend to eat the big Powerbars half at a time, too. They are pretty filling, and splitting it into two Snacks keeps my metabolism going and doesn't overfill me. Having half at a time to bridge the gap between meals is perfect. :)

I brought them to the movies the last time we went. my husband has popcorn and it is hard to resist but this helped!

We did it. We got popcorn at the movies last month as a special treat since we NEVER do that, and I have to tell you...we learned our lesson! It was delicious, but we both felt awful for at least a day afterward. So much fat, sodium...and just plain unwholesome. And I LOVE salt, so for me to say that is telling. We won't be doing that again! :P

cheese is high in protein, but also fat. The 'light' string cheese Sargento makes is actually really tasty though! :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
