8 WEEKS AND SHAKY

I finally got a call from diatition. I told her when this was happening (the shaky and week feeling) It seems to happens when I have a protein shake for a meal. She told me to try eating a reguler meal and have the protien shakes between meals and see if that helps. She also told me to try the protien bars instead of the skakes they will stay with me longer. The protien shakes were probably going right through me and then I would feel shaky. I'm going to try this. Any ideas on what protien bars are good? Thanks for all the advise Carol

I've heard a ton of great reviews about the Power Crunch Bars...I don't know where people get them...but that's what I hear. I've not tried any yet. BTW...I've read too that half a bar fills a lot of people up! It makes perfect sense that your stomach would empty too quickly after a meal of just a shake. Your dietitian was right...eat your meal and a couple of hours afterwards, have the shake to get your protein levels up. I hope it works for you! paula

I buy the Adkins brand at the commissary. They have about 19g of protein per bar and I eat half sometimes as a snack. They taste good after we've been deprived of sugar for so long, but before surgery I didn't like them much. Beth

Do you drink the coffee house protein drinks they sell at the comissary, I bought some awhile back they was great. I get all my shakes on base much cheaper. Take Care Barb

Hello Barb! I don't remember seeing coffee house protien drinks at the comissary is that there whole name?? sounds yummy do they taste like coffee?? Debbie

I tried the Power Crunch bars and dont really care for them. They are MESSY and don't sit well in my pouch (even half). I have tried a variety of others and I personally like the Atkins bars. They are available at Walmart. I just limit them to one per day between meals, as they are kinda high in calories (270). Denise 253/s232/198/140

I love the premier protein bars at costco....31gm protein...I eat 1/2 and (140 cal) it stays with me for hours! Kathy

The power crunch bars are yummy, but so sweet that I gave it to my hubby after my first bite. I like the zone bars, but you have to watch the sugar alcohols in those. I've bought lots of bars and really haven't eaten any of them. Look for the product review page for protein bars.
