Hello! I am currently in my 5th week post gastric bypass. My question is when did you all eat a protein bar? What ones were you able to tolerate and taste good? I will
Be traveling to Europe around week 11 and I want to bring something that I know I can eat.

Sorry most of those bars are bad and have hidden sugars and carbs

If a nutritionist is telling their patients which are good and which aren’t, I think it’s safe for patients to listen to their advice. I’m sure most of us aren’t eating the bars everyday but when in a crunch or on the go they work just fine.

I like the pure protein double chocolate ( I think that’s the name) they are 20 grams protein and 180 Calories. I only eat half at a time on the occasions that I do eat them. Very handy to have in a pinch for sure.

The best source of protein is of course natural sources of protein. But nothing wrong with occasionally supplementing your diet with them... or use them to fulfill not only your sweet tooth with something that provides you with a little protein. My nutritionist wants me to get protein in whenever I can... and is more than OK with me using protein shakes and protein bars... preferably ones with less sugars. I use the Unjury Protein Bar "Mighty Bites" when I am hiking long distances. They give me a boost of protein, and boost of carbs, and fulfill my sweet tooth all in one. Not bad. What I do not do is eat them every day or rely on them as my primary source of protein.

Yeah I'm nearly 3 months out and still get most of my protein from my shakes...

30g protein.

1g fat

2g carbs

150kcal

I still default to Quest but do not particularly like them I have been cycling in and out of my routine since 6 months out. Bars are convenient but I feel pretty artificial. Most do not give me enough protien for calories.
