Question: when can you eat protein bars?



Recommended Posts

At what stage is it OK to eat Protein Bars? I am a month out and tolerating everything I have eaten so far. I am doing soft foods. I still do one Protein Shake a day and I am tiring of them. I bought some Premier Protein bars today but can't find in my diet documentation any mention of them...

It was ok for me when I went on regular foods, but I did have to wait until three months for the ones with nuts or small bits in them.

OK. I think the ones I bought don't have nuts or chunks of any kind..

My dr said no nuts, seeds or thing of the nature until 6 weeks out. I think it is different for every dr.

Most Protein bars you get have a little bit of a crunch to them these days. But you can find the ones that are just soft protein and they dissolve in your mouth pretty nicely. Pure Protein makes a good one that is low in sugar and 21g of protein. Only 190 calories too. It fills me up pretty good and some days I can't finish it in one sitting. I started eating some of them in soft food stage. They didn't give me any problems.

Agree with above comments. I would think 6 weeks out is fine as you are starting to add back in regular foods. As usual just chew well. Quest also makes great bars that are low in sugar and higher Protein. Premier Protein is another good one. It is good to have a variety of choices!

I would ask the surgeon. He’s going to be familiar with when things are normally healed enough to consume something like that.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
