A couple of months ago I ran across a protein fiber bar recipe on a bodybuilding site and decided to adapt it for my own purposes. I use this as a meal replacement. I am a regular guy again when I have one of these every day.
3 cups dry old fashioned oatmeal
4 scoops vanilla protein powder
1/4 cup bran
1/4 cup golden flax seeds
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup milk
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (I have used PB2, but the bars don't stick together too well)
optional:
1/4 cup sesame seeds (Penzeys sells these in one lb bags for a reasonable price)
1/4 cup almonds and/or sunflower seeds
1/4 cup millet
mix together the dry ingredients first
add milk and PB, stir for two minutes
spread mixture out in 9 x 13 pan
sprinkle with Splenda
refrigerate
divide into 8 (you could adjust this too)
approx 325 calories/bar (more if you add nuts)
14 grams protein
10+ grams fiber
Update:
I now add 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon, 6 scoops (2 cups of protein powder), 1/2 cup of granulated Splenda, 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, and up to a cup of creamy peanut butter, but you should play with it until you like it. I have also used chocolate protein powder, some cocoa powder and no cinnamon, but I don't like it as much. Have fun with it!

I still have a hard time with pork. Most everything else I can eat now. But I'm 3 years out.
As for protien. I use the purple colored can from Walmart (not sure of the name brand) and mix that with Ice and some instant coffee with milk (I use soy, because regular milk is hard on my tummy). Blend it as a smoothie. They are the best! You can even add in some SF flavored syrups too.
My hair thinned out too in the first couple of months. It will grow back and it will get better.
