protein bars, how soon did you start eating them

ok folks, how far out post op did you eat protein bars? i am looking for a high protein, high fiber type of bar to be able to take on the go....i just tasted a fiber plus bar, it is the coconut, carmel chocolage one..it tastes like the coconut carmel girl scout cooking they sale....i only had a couple of bites as i was not sure...but it has 9 grams of fiber in it.....

They were listed on my surgeon's soft phase, so at three weeks.

About a month out for me.  I look for a bar with about 1 gm protein per 10 calories.  So 200 Cal should have about 20 gm protein for me.

I could only eat 1/2 of a bar for months.  They really made me full.

I don't really look at fiber in the bars - it's all about protein for me.

I do get fiber from fresh veggies and fruits and sometimes 100% whole grains.

yes i totally understand about the protein, but i am just coming off a MAJOR bout of constipation and i can not go back down that road....my surgeons plan does not give me grains and starches until 6 months out...but i have to have some kind of fiber besides benefiber and miralax.....i hate to admit it, i had a couple of bowls of ceral, but it was the kashi go lean, lots of protein & lots of fiber in it....i was treating it like a medicine in order to get the plumbing going....
most times once i eat my protein, there is not much room for the vegges and fruit..i am just 1 month post op so i know i will eat more later on..but i just can not go down that road of constipation again....so i am also looking for fiber..
thanks have a great day

I ate my first one today (actually 1/2 of one)....a pure protein bar and it was yummy!  I get very nervous trying new foods but I am 8 weeks out on tuesday and it is time to start eating more normal foods (not just soft).

I didnt' try one until I was given the go ahead for solids at 9 weeks.

I'm still pre-op but I have to warn you some of those bars with lots of Fiber (Fiber One especially) gave me bad, bad gas.

We call those Farter One Bars, lol
