I am 7 weeks post op RNY... when can I try protein bars?

When did your Dr tell you that you can have them?

They didn't… They basically said after Six weeks I'm basically on my own

By then you should be back to a normal diet and a protein bar should be fine so long as it's not jam packed with a bunch of sugars. You would just have to try and see how it settles in your stomach, I'll attach my "5th week and beyond" page in case it's helpful.

That is your answer.

Also that is a pretty crappy program. I have a food plan that goes out for the first 6 months and then for life.

Yup they said they just said "try new things and see how you tolerate them"...i have sn appointment with the NUT on Wednesday so maybe she can help

I am 8 weeks Post op on Wednesday and I eat power crunch protein bars!

Thanks i am going to try the Quest bars...so sick of having a shake every morning!

There is a 25% off coupon for these on Amazon.

12 grams of protein isn't meal replacement level of protein. Get the regular quest bars.

My NUT said after 10 wks for protein bars unless they are nut free then it was fine after 8 wks. I am a sleever though so not sure if that makes a difference.
