Nature Valley protein bars are delicious and have 10 grams of protein and only 6 grams of sugar. They are made with peanuts or almonds. They are filling too. Not too expensive. You can get them at the grocery store. You have to be careful because many protein bars have a lot of sugar in them.
Epic Bars (sort of softer jerky) they have a slight sweetness (seasonings, some have cranberry, etc.) but made from meat so mostly savory. 14-16 grams ish.
I have them from time to time... I like the sweet bars but sweet things were not a pre-op thing for me (I was a pasta & bread girl) so they don't trigger desire for the real deal.
Have you looked at the Premier Nutrition Shakes instead? They are very low in sugar and high in protein. I also like their bars but they do have a higher amount of sugar in the bars. I only use the bars sparingly

This past Sunday I began exhibiting strange behaviors, loss of immediate memory of events, behaving like a lost 3 year old child, spaced out look in my eyes, etc. and my husband said to my best friend, who had spent the night with us - and I had no recollection she was even there - that he was taking me immediately to our closest hospital ER. They immediately admitted me and began various tests. They did and MRI on my head as I was apparently complaining of a violent migraine when I got there. I don't recall anything that happened that day. I was admitted to the hospital that night and they discovered in doing a blood workup that I was severely deficient on thiamine (B1). They immediately began in IV infusion of B1 along with magnesium in a separate infusion bag. They used morphine to get the migraine pain relieved. So from Monday through Wednesday I was given these infusions around the clock. No idea how many bags of B1 were infused. But I was discharged last night and came home. I'm looking for any ideas, anyone that has experienced this or has any input on my situation. thanks!

Thank you for the link here @T Hagalicious Rebel. I am also not agree about surgery. I will visit your link here for more details.
Fantastic! I am 60 and in the process of getting approved for surgery, it gives me hope to see your success!
Are there any savory high protein, low carb protein bars? I don't think it helps any of us to supplement our protein by eating things like "chocolate mint" or "birthday cake". My doc/dietician gave me only dessert-like options.
Regular exercise and proper diet can help you to reduce weight. Cut back on
Cut back on sugars and starch, eat protein, fat, vegetables, drink a lot of water and have a good sleep.
Hi all- I'm attempting to get back on track after falling off and having some regain. Nut told me to eat what I ate 6 weeks post op, but that was 2 years ago. It seems like all I can remember to eat is yogurt, egg salad, canned chicken, jello, broth, etc.
PLEASE share some favorite recipes with me. I can eat pretty much everything and am looking for some good recipes that my hubs can eat too, but are high protein enough to really help me get restarted on my journey.
THANKS!!
I have been mixing vegetables with my protein. For instance, I blend cucumber and celery with Greek yogurt and then mix in smoked salmon. Or I have soup with cooked vegetables. On Friday, I made a Shepherd's Pie with a topping made out of cauliflower and ricotta instead of potatoes.
