So I can't find the thread now but someone suggested trying pure Protein bars....yeah,not so much! Will try 1/2 next time (it was to replace the lunch I didn't have time to eat one day at work this week so I ate the whole thing!!!). I was dump-a-Licious!!!!!

If you want a bar that's high in protein, low in carbs, your best bet is an Atkins bar. As they are part of the low-carb movement, they will have no sugar (assuming that's what made you dump)

I was the pure Protein Bar person

Also Power Crunch bars also think thin bars have no sugar 20 grams protein. Did the pure protein bar make you sick? I can only eat half bar.

Sorry I forgot you easily dump with carbs..some bars are high in carbs. Atkins is not. I'm a taste person so I eat half the bars us they have a lot of carbs. My band classes they tools us to look at protein carb and fat in the bars

So after my 1 month check up, I gave myself 2 weeks to try getting the Protein in without shakes....I'm barely making it about 1/2 the time and not there the other 1/2....and I've lost like 1 1/2 pounds during those 2 weeks....so darn it, I'm back to a shake a day starting tomorrow. Grumble grumble grumble. Hate those darn things!!!!!!

So how did everybody do this Easter?

I made baskets for the kids and sampled one jelly bean... otherwise there was no desire nor temptation even though the office was full of treats!

I did have one jelly bean and one little chocolate egg and didn't feel the need to try anything else. That's a huge change for me. And frankly, the tiny little egg wasn't all that great.

I had a moment this morning....I always knew my tomach' date=' thighs, and noobs were screwed and destined to flap in the breeze. I thought my arms were gonna be okay. I was blow drying my hair with my skivvies on (bra and panties) and realized I actually have a bit of muscle in my upper arms!!! Then realized, oh shit, there's some major flapping going on underneath....craptastic!!! I'm going to be a freaking shar pei, fabulous.

Shar pei!! I love it! You gave me a smile this am.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
