Protien Bars
Hi Debbie,
I supplement with several different types of protein bars. They are a tad sweet at times so I make sure I have some very cold water to help "wash" them down or some milk.
Here are my favorites:
Zone Perfect- Chocolate Almond Raisin - 15 gms protien
Balance Bar Trail Mix Energy Bar - Cinnamon, oats & honey - 15 gms prot.
Both I get at Wal-Mart over in the pharmacy area. These 2 specific bars qhich are higher tha other prtein bars normally aren't over in the food section with the other energy bars.
The other night while at the Owosso Meijer store's gas station they had the Balance Bars at their counter marked down to 70 cents a bar. So I nearly bought them all. LOL Normally they will run a little over a dollar at Wally World and $1.59 at Meijer. Wal-Mart had boxes of 5 or 6 of the Zone Bars on sale for under $4.00. That also was a good deal.
Good luck and have fun taste testing.

The most delightful, thin, light, crunchy and tasty protein bars I have ever tried can be purchased online at:

They come in several flavors but the best by far is the Peanut Butter Chocolate.
These bars contain 14 grams of protein and are thin, light and tasty. I have one first thing in the morning and feel great and they are not thick, and chewy and heavy like some bars are.
They run 13.98 for a box of 12 plus shipping and I highly recommend them.
They are called BioNuntrional Power Crunch Protein Bars and I give them a perfect 10 out of 10!
Sally: I was told by my dietician I could have the bars again after 6 weeks, but only if I could tolerate them. They went down okay after 6 weeks, but now I am 11 months out and the crunchy, granola type ones bother my tummy. You should double check with your surgeon's office, but after that, it's kind of personal on the tolerance of just about all foods! Hope that helps! Pam
