Week 4 Protein Bar?

Hey!

I'm 4 weeks out of RNY.  I'm having a chocolate craving and was wondering if I could have a very small piece of a Pure Protein Chocolate Deluxe Protein Bar.

Thanks Guys!

Is it on your plan?

Definitely go by what your doctor's plan said, but that sounds a little early to me.  My doctor's plan allowed them after 6 weeks.

My plan strongly advises avoiding protein bars, and honestly using one as a replacement for something you are 'craving' is not a good idea. Use these first few weeks to start building new habits and coping mechanisms instead of giving in to cravings and head hunger.

Even though I would have hated hearing this advice at week 4 when having a craving for bacon, it's excellent advice.  I have to just re-direct my vision, my thoughts, my whatever is making me have the craving and drink more water.  Practicing now will def. help you on your journey!!

How about some SF chocolate pudding, bonus points if you throw some protein powder in there?

Make yourself a nice chocolate protein shake! Or make it a double and freeze in a popsicle mold for a protein fudgesicle!

Protein bars are the devil.  Seriously, every time I ate one during weight-loss mode I would stall out any type of loss on the scale for DAYS!  Just.not.worth.it. Plus they caused cravings in me and then I wanted one every day....and then in a couple weeks I wanted more than one a day.  A sure sign that Iwas really playing around with "candy bars".  Beware of anything that you eat that makes you want more of it!
