I'm still struggling getting my daily protein in. Despite my surgeon not recommending protein shakes and bars I find them necessary. My son picked me up some whey protein powder and some Clif Bars from Costco. Has any one tried Clif Bars?

Hi, Please read the label before you eat the Clif Bar for what's in there. You find a lot of stuff you don't want that could possibly make you sick like the chocolate and the sugar. If you want to try a protein bar I suggest Quest Bars which are made with Stevia and most likely will not make you sick because Stevia is not sugar. Now I've been told by my Surgeon and Nutritionist not to eat protein bars but it's up to you what to do for yourself. I'm just giving you a suggestion of a bar that probably won't make you sick like most protein bars would because of the sugar content.

Protein bars are very portable. I don't eat them often but I do keep some of my favorites in my car. If I'm out doing errands and get hungry I have a better alternative to junk food. It tides me over till I get home. Read the labels for low sugar, lower carb bars. Faunce Corner Nutrition in Dartmouth MA has some good options for bariatric patients. They also have hot chocolate mix w/12gr of protein (I bought a box for when it gets cold). Their products are available online. :-)
