Protein bar = feel like cr*p



Recommended Posts

I am pre-op and have been changing my diet, eating better, cut out all soda and almost all caffeine. I have been feeling good. Today I ate a Protein Bar for the first time and it has made me feel terrible. Has anyone else had this problem? I feel nauseous and just bad. The fact that I have 3 more Protein Bars in my pantry makes me want to throw up. Anyone else can't tolerate the Protein bars? The drinks don't seem to bother me.

First-good luck with the pre-op. Second, maybe it's the brand of Protein bars. I love them. I eat the Cliff ones that have 20g of protein. They make different ones. My dietitian told me to eat these. I have had the chocolate chip, chocolate mint and chocolate with Peanut Butter. Love them all. If you hate the ones you have, return them. Almost every store takes them back.

Check and see if it has sugar alcohol in it. That can act like a laxative. Also some bars have too much Fiber. I gave up trying yo find a bar and decided eatting food works much better for me.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
