When did you go from shakes to protein bars?



Recommended Posts

I am only asking for the reason of being out for the day. I go out shopping for the whole day, on like a day off or something.SHOP A HOLIC!!!! Lol

Go out on the town and shop til I drop.

Its so hard to have shakes while being out all day.

When did you transition into taking a Protein bar instead?

Im on soft food til next month.. See my nutritionist next month too..

Just wondering.. Thanks for any tips!

Well, I think I was at about 1/2 or two months out. I had to travel for work and needed something portable. And for shopping as well. :-) I still do shakes and I am at 7 months.

The first bar I used was Pure Portein chocolate. Low in sugar and carbs. It is also very soft so I let it melt in my mouth. I think I ate 1/4. Waited. Then tried the other 1/4. Only could do a 1/2 bar at a time.

I carry a Protein Bar in my pocket book all the time, just in case. But if I know I am going to be out and about all day I always pack my "care package" which is in a thermal lunch tote. I keep a couple cheese sticks, pack of tuna (premixed) a shake and Water in it with an ice pack. Never hurts to be over prepared! I find that if i dont plan to keep this with me (at least in the car) I tend to pop in to a fast food place and it always ends up being something I shouldnt have.

Failing to plan is planning to fail! (what my granny use to tell me anyway!)

I go out a lot, I always take a few bottles of Water with me and I have a container that u hold powder baby formula in. It has 6 slots for servings of powder baby formula and I just fill it with my powder Protein. Then if I need my protein I just pour the protein in the water and shake it up !

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
