Guest guest Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Protein bars a GREAT for the average person to benefit from. As a Post-Op, we are living with a malabsorbtion problem. That is why we must supplement our diet, we need the benefit of the gastric juices in the lower portion of our stomach to digest and absorb protein/vitamins in our food. Protein supplements to be beneficial, should be taken as a liquid. If you like the bars (they will fill your pouch, and may be too heavy) but they can also cause you to " justify " eating these bars for their nutrional value (when in fact you are only making the distributor rich) and possibly lead you into the " wrong " eating habits. This will take you away from getting those supplements and fluids you need daily, omiting those foods that you truely should be eating.
