I will be 3 months post op on 07/07/16, I have been eating Premiere Protein bars 30 grams and Power bars 20 grams. The Premiere Protein Bars has more calories and carbohydrates than the Power bar but the Power bars has fewer carbohydrates and calories. These bars are tolerable but don't taste all that great to me but I eat them for the high Protein. I also have tried many protein powders and shakes, I haven't found anything I actually like but I drink the Premiere Protein vanilla 30 grams drink it is 11 ounces and has other Vitamins in it also. I have tried Premiere Protein strawberry and will drink what I bought but I personally like the vanilla the best. I still have a hard time digesting meat of any kind so I have to supplement with bars and shakes to get my protein in.

The rule of thumb my Nut told me is that a gram of Protein shouldn't "cost" you more than 10 cal. So a bar that has 20 grams of Protein shouldn't be more than 200 cals.

A lot of protein bars are junk, be careful. Some are even worse than candy bars.

Try adding flavors to the RTD shakes, like powdered Peanut Butter like PB2 or sugar free syrups. I have a raspberry sf Syrup that I add to the chocolate Premiere Protein shake.. chocolate Raspberry, yum!

Once you are cleared for solid foods they should be fine. Different bars have different textures. Quest are denser/chewier. Power Crunch are more wafer-like.

I appreciate everyone's input as I enjoy reading from other's on what they eat and drink. I will try any product once to see if it is tolerable. I have a hard time with vomiting after eating. I am able to hold down the Premiere Protein drinks. I am able to eat 1/2 of a bar of the Protein bars. I eat slowly and chew my food very well but just have a hard time digesting many foods.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
