Power bar makes a great vanilla yogurt protien bar that has 26g of protien. It is good but all the Vitamins kinda make your mouth burn. Well atleast it makes mine. The vanilla yogurt bar is the only one I really like, and for a meal on the go its filling.

No need to look at online products, there are tons of great, healthy, DIY options. Quick to boot! Plus, you want substance, not just something you down. The substance is what will sit in the pouch and create the "full" sensation. drinks, etc. have their place, but you want actual food - preferably hard Proteins - whenever you can get it.

If you're going to use a supplement, use a solid bar whenver possible (see above reason). I don't remember the brand of my favorite one, but Snickers makes one that's ok.

Here are some I use when I'm travelling.

Starkist tuna pouches, and if you prefer not to eat plain tuna, use condiment pack mayo. You could do relish, too. Just squeeze into the tuna pouch, stir and enjoy. There are also tuna salad kits that come with little spoons.

Buy some turkey pepperoni and microwave it on paper towels/plates until it's crunchy. 2 - 3 min depending on the microwave. When they're dry, they'll be as crispy as chips, and will go nicely into a sandwich baggy.

Jerky! I have an easier time with the more moist kinds (flavored ones, e.g. terriyaki, seem to be more moist). Our Green Acres carries a buffalo Jerky that is very low fat/carb, but all Jerky will be fine if you aren't counting carbs. If you are, then just watch the carb count.

String cheese... dont' want it out of the fridge for too long though. Unless the packaged ones don't need to be refrigerated (not sure, never looked, would think they do need to be).

Breakstone brand makes single serving cottage cheeses. Same with refrigeration.

Beef Jerkey! I am having issues eating any meat lately, but I get beef jerkey and it goes down fine.

I found a website that makes the best IMO (i can't find any local beef Jerky that tastes good, but I loved it as a kid).

Buffalo Bills Premium Beef Jerky, Beef Sticks, Venison Jerky

I tried the western cut, and the country cut. Western is hard, country is squishy.. I didn't like the squishy as much (more likely to PB) but the western is WONDERFUL.

I get teriyaki and sweet & spicy.

I eat string cheese or cheddar cheese sticks. Nuts are great Protein and the good fat. South Beach makes a good Protein Bar (10g) in Peanut Butter and chocolate(pretty good).Lunchables makes a "lil' lunchable" for young kids that has crackers cheese and turkey (140 cal and 9g protein). good luck!

I've always LOVED beef jerky ... I find myself eating it more these days to help get in the Protein I need. I buy the Tillamook brand @ Winco as it is always so tender, not rough like some brands.

Just curious Laura, what does that sweet & spicy flavor taste like? Have you tried their original?

I would take nuts or yogurt probably.

Eating on the run is quite hard. A lot of the times I just done eat, and get by on coffee. Not that that's great health practice!

I prefer nuts, too. Pistachios are great, because they give you something to do with your hands and makes it seem like you are eating more than you are.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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
