When can we eat protien bars

 I started with them when I was 4 weeks post op and cleared for regular food.  Now, I hardly ever eat them.  I still have a whole case of them unopened.

I waited until I was 6 months out because I had been warned they can be very heavy on your stomach.

When I did finally have one, it felt like a brick sitting in my stomach for hours. That and the carb to protein ratio wasn't worth it to me.

Eat slowly - like another said, they can feel like lead in your stomach.

Also, watch the suger content on them!  Very few protein bars are really compatible with our diet.

You CAN eat them as soon as you are cleared for all foods, you might consider not eating them, as in never, or just once in a very rare while, because the protein to carb to calorie calculation on almost all of them is not even close to good enough for us.  I look at them as glorified "snickers bars". 

Thank you for the information!
