Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 I like the Luna bars....toasted nut and cranberry. I have to watch out for the sugar though...some of the Luna bars have more than others...same with the Zone Perfect bars. My real favorite right now is the Balance Gold bars...either Caramel Nut Blast or the Peanut Butter flavor. Those are good...12 grams of sugar....15 grams of protein. I only use them if I am out shopping and it isn't convenient to stop for a meal...or if I know I am not going to have access to food that is good for me.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 I eat protein bars primarily when I'm out and running around. They come in handy in school and can eat them inconspicuously and drink my water with them. I use the Designer Protein Bars and for a treat the Zone Bars, Luna Bars and now the Detour Bars. Designer Protein and Detour bars I eat half before my nose starts running and stop (always a trigger that I'm full) Same with the Detour Bars. I can eat a whole Luna Bar, but be full and 3/4 of a Zone bar. I'm 3 1/2 years out. I do not like to eat them in the house because I'm afraid that I'll eat too many in the course of a day. I use them as a social thing. Kind of like how I used to smoke. Only in bars and if I was drinking a 7 and 7. To this day can't smell Seagrams without wanting to light up a cigarette. Pretty weird.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Hi Regina, This is the first time I have read about the 'runny nose warning system'. I have that and the watery eye syndrome. Anyone know why? Hhuman beings are miraculoously strange! LOL JO in Ok Protein Bars > I eat protein bars primarily when I'm out and running around.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Hi Jo: My doctor explained to me why my nose gets stuffy as my stomach fills up and can't quite remember the explanation for it. All I know is that it never happened until I had my revision and was transected. The first seven months after wls did not have the stuffy nose thing going, but as soon as I had the revision and transection, there it was. We're still amused by it. At least my nose lets me know I'm full before my tummy or my brain does. It's nice to know I can count on some things around me to be consistent.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Regina, I get the runny nose thing, too, and now that you mention it, I'm wondering if it started after the transection. I really can't remember. But, for me, the nose blowing is sometimes a precurser to tossing my cookies because I already overate. I'll never learn. ) in NJ ************************ > Hi Jo: > > My doctor explained to me why my nose gets stuffy as my stomach fills up and can't quite remember the explanation for it.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 , ME too!!! The nose thing didn't start until AFTER my revision....hummmmm I wonder if they re-route things through our noses? (LOL Only Kidding)...but Like you the nose is usually too little too late...because I have already had that ONE bite that is going to make me miserable.
