great, LayLay! there was someone on 3fc who made protein bars - as soon as i remember more details, i'll see if i can find the recipe. she was very careful about her carbs, so they should work
Another question for u ladies. The pure protein bars I bought have a whopping 31 carbs in a bar. Granted, I only eat half of one at a time so it would be 15 carbs..but that seems like alot of carbs. Half a bar also has 15 protein. Should I steer clear of these?

How many of the carbs are sugar alcohols and how many are fiber?
subtract out the fiber and sugar alcohols for the "carb count" that you need to worry about. So-you're fine-10g carbs/bar and you're only eating half. Some people are bothered by sugar alcohols-I am, thankfully, not one of them. I love a little treat now and them of a piece of a See's sf dark choc bar . . .
That many sugar alcohols would bother me if I ate the whole thing (even before WLS), but half at a time would be fine. You don't even want to be in the same room with me if I've had a day where I'd eaten TWO sugar alcohol filled protein bars!
i agree - as long as you're eating only half at a time, it looks like you have a winner here!
and also agree about watching the sugar alcohols. you might not be bothered, but sometimes, depending on the other stuff that you eat, that could change.
a rule of thumb that helped me at your stage: don't eat anything that has more carb grams than protein grams. and this protein bar fits the bill!
