Protein

Has anyone had the Think thin High protein Bars?  20g protein, 0 sugar 230 calories, 25g carbs....Is this ok?

I wouldn't eat them.  I'd want at least 23 grams of protein for 230 calories.  

I avoid protein bars b/c of the high crabs and high calories.  It's so easy to get high protein without the carbs, e.g. meat, eggs, cheese . . . If you have reached your goal weight then it's probably okay but as long as I am in the weight-loss mode, no protein bars for me.

I just noticed that you and I are about the same weight right now and have close to the same goal weight.  When did you have your surgery?  Mine was on 8/25/14.  I still have 27 more lbs. to lose before reaching goal.  The weight loss has really slowed down b/c I have been eating too many calories and carbs.  I've got to become more diligent about sticking to the plan.  For me, it has gotten harder as the months and weeks stretch on.

Surgery was 8/21/14!  I am also at a stall.  I would like to lose about 30 more pounds. It is very hard.  I feel like I am running out of options. Salads do not agree with me.  For lunch I try having 3 slices of a cold cut, plus some cheese. Dinners are hard for me. Can't afford to have fish all the time, and meats are very hard to get down. 

What kinds of meats are you doing?  I haven't had any trouble with much of anything, but I've always had a kind of tough stomach.  Do sauces help make meat go down a little easier?  I cook a lot in the crock pot so it is really moist.

Yes, I am still trying to lose weight.  Maybe I will lay off the protein bars for a while.

Stacey - wait a minute, I'm confused!  Didn't you just make a post yesterday saying that at 5 months out you could only eat 2-3 bites at a time?  And you are "stalled" out weight-wise on 2-3 bites at a time??   I guess I read that to mean that you only ate 2-3 bites a few times a day and were losing too fast   

Protein bars will absolutely stall out weight loss for me - every single time I tried them.  Don't know why because I would still stick with my carb and protein goals.  I use them now for pre-workout snacks but they didn't work for me in WL mode.  

2-3 bites during a meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner.  I do not eat all day long (graze).  

OK, but still confused how you could not be losing weight if you are only eating 10 bites of food a day at 5 months out.  As I mentioned in my post yesterday, please get to a doctor.  This is NOT normal
