Protein bars



Recommended Posts

bariatric pantry keeps sending me ads for Protein Bars. Nowhere in the ad can I find the breakdown of gms of Protein, carbs, sugars and etc. Why don't they provide these? How would I know if it is something I could eat (when that time comes) if I don't have that information... Maybe the answer is...they don't provide it because if they did most wouldn't order it?

I just received an order from dietdirect.com (very fast free shipping) and ordered a variety of Protein bars. I think I got six boxes. I bought BariWise and WonderSlim products. All that I have tried so far are very good. I've had some bad protein bars, but these were really good. I would never know they were protein bars. They do publish all the information about them on their site. Most have 15 grams of Protein. I went looking for the lemon meringe because I heard they were good. They were out of stock. I got the variety pack and it had a lemon one. I can see why they are out of stock. Delish. The crispy ones remind me of like rice krispie crunch dipped in a chocolate or flavor of the bar coating. The count on the Peanut Butter one I had was 15 protein, 15 carbs, and 160 calories. I tried the wonderslim ones (chocolate mint are good) and they are about 15 grams of protein too. You might consider looking at their website. When I was surfing around I got an instant message from their representative giving me a code for $10 off. So that was excellent. You can search for coupon codes because they are out there. I also got a free sample pack that included two drinks. I bought some Bariwise Cappuccino. It was good but sweet. I got some instant Decaf which I might stir in next time. That cup was 15 grams of protein. I made my morning seem more normal. I was a big coffee drinker before. I'd probably order it again or try their hot chocolate. Since I'm telling you about good tasting protein bars...pure protein bars are good and have 20 grams of protein. I get their chocolate peanut butter and chocolate chip. They are really filling. Higher in calories though...200.

I found some great Protein bars..called Power Crunch. They are 200 calories but only 10 carbs and they have 14 g of protein! The best thing about them is they are big so can last for 2 Snacks, but they are really light and crispy, exactly like a "sugar wafer" cookie. And they are delicious! I've seen them at Trader Joes, costco, Vitamin Shoppe, and even Ebay online...they come in about 6 different flavors. And they are big so lots of yummy crunching! Let me know if you want me to upload a picture of one.

And I'm completely hooked on my favs, "Think Thin." The creamy Peanut Butter tastes and feels EXACTLY like a Reese's Peanut Butter cup, and 1 bar usually lasts me 2 "meals" and a bite or two for a snack...one bar has 230 calories (please, like I could ever eat a whole one!), 20 g Protein, and 23 g carbs. Not low-carb, but there are 0 g sugar and they are gluten-free. These things have saved my hiney because I can't tolerate Protein drinks--none of 'em--I just got some Click Mocha, and it's just as gross as the others--it's the smell, like feet! So the bars fill a really important void for me. I definitely don't eat a lot of "junk" food or concentrated carb foods other than these bars, so I feel comfortable including them.

I am going to try some of those Power Crunch bars, too, since I find them almost everywhere I shop, and that would be really convenient--the Think Thin are carried at several major grocery chains around here, but they're not as common as the Power Crunch.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
