Protein Bar in Soft Food Phase?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried Atkins Protein meal bars (or any other bar) while in the soft food stage? Obviously chewed to a puree.

I'm having a hard time getting in all my protein and I actually like those bars. Just wondering. Thanks!

Could you just drink a Protein Shake instead? Or a yogurt? Or add Protein Powder to Soup? I don't start soft food till tomorrow, but those are pretty hard! I'm sure you're pretty sick of Protein Drinks and yogurt (I sure am!), but what I think things like tuna and deli meat have more Protein than the Atkins bars. I love the S'mores ones myself!

If I never have to see another Protein Drink in my life It'll be too soon! Although I may have to.

I'm eating eggs and chicken and cheese, Beans didn't agree with me nor did the deli turkey. I forgot about yogurt. Maybe I'll try that. Thanks!

You can also try fish and ground turkey/chicken/beef. Those are soft, per my plan. Good luck! I can't wait to try some solid food tomorrow!

And... have you tried using Protein Shake in your coffee? (If you drink coffee). I mix 5.5 oz (half a Protein shake) with about 11 oz of iced coffee and it tastes pretty good.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
