Do you eat Atkins bars?

I am not a Atkins dieter but the bars have really helped me lose weight pre-op. They are about the only protein bars I can stand and I actually love the taste.

Just wondering if I will be able to enjoy them at some point after surgery, either in the losing phase or maintenance??

I eat them more now in maintenance but I have to get the ones with no sugar alcohols (Peanut granola). There was the Sunrise or something I ate for a few weeks when I was first able to eat normal foods but I got tired of it pretty quick. Another good one is Rockin' Roll bar by Labrada. They're sort of like PayDay candy bars.

I eat the peanut butter/chocolate ones.  Just be sure to check the nutritional info and choose the ones that have 1 sugar and 0 sugar alcohols.  It will be awhile after surgery before you will be able to eat much of one...

I've actually had to cut way back on them.  At 240 calories (for the ones I had) that adds up pretty quickly as a daily treat.

I don't eat the Atkin Bars, but I do eat others on occasion.

Pure Protein Peanut Butter
Oh Yeah Protein Wafer
2:1 Oatmeal Protein Bar which has 5 fiber

I didn't start for a long time post-op and eat maybe 1-2 a week now in my 7th month.  I like the Oatmeal bar for breakfast in the office.

I've tried a few bites here and there---they just make my pouch ache.  Perhaps from the sugar alcohols?
