I was told at 5 weeks out (that's us!) that I could start adding in "regular" foods.  Yesterday I had half of a soft chocolate protein bar.  It tasted tooooo sweet.  I've noticed that many foods now taste too sweet for me since surgery.  weird.  I got one with no nuts or other hard  stuff in it.  Went down no problem.  Really filling.

You'll never leave where you are until you decide where you'd rather be.

I eat one of the Atkin's bars a day.  I have tried the Peanut butter crisp bars (150/10g) and the cinnamon bun (120/10g)(cal/protein).  The ones I have are less than 2 oz each which is my max.  I can eat them with no problem.

I like the Power Crunch bars.  They have 9 net carbs, 5 grams of sugar and 13 grams of protein.  They are 200 calories per bar but they're big.   I eat 1/4 or 1/2 at a time.   The chocolate peanut butter one is kind of like a Little Debbie Nutty Bar.  The cookies and cream flavor is good too.   They are a little lighter than some of the dense protein bars since they are made of wafer cookies.

My Dr. said absolutely.  I bought 2 boxes of atkins bars and so far both have acted like a laxative for me.
