Protein snacks

Hey everyone , I haven't blogged in a while. I am going to talk about protein snacks. Protein snacks are good to snack on throughout the day and some are used as meal replacements. 

1. Kays natural protein chips. This one is one I get about all the time. I have a nutritionist that gave me a sample of this. After I loved it. Everywhere I go I bring them to snack on. I get people come up to me and ask what are those? Friends , doctors offices ask me can I try one. They come in many flavors such as kruncheez , crispy parm, pretzels, almond puff ,Mac & cheese puffs , and many more. My favorite one is kruncheez. They have 12 grams of protein in them, 1 gram sugar , 14 carbs , 130 calories. I buy them off lucky vitamin or vistacost . 
  

2. 
 Think thin protein bars . Yummy! Everyone loves junk food and junk food flavors. Now you can get cupcake flavor , salt Carmel , smores, cinnamon bun, and many more flavors. I eat the ones that are protein and fiber. They have 10 grams of protein , 5fiber , 5 grams of sugar , and 150 calories. I do eat this also as a meal replacement bar for breakfast. This you can find in many supermarkets , target, Whole Foods, and online. Stop and shop I found usually had the best sales on them. 

3. 
 I got this in gnc. It is 30 grams of protein , though I can not finish this in a sitting. I probably eat this in 4 sittings. I liked the vanilla flavor better then the chocolate. They are good snacks and meal replacements. 

4. 
 I actually just brought this today. I ate one while coming home. I was never a fan of peanut butter. Though every time you go into a store most protein bars are peanut butter. A lot of people that want protein and weightloss eat peanut butter. I gave in finally. It was good. I'm used to soft bars , this was crunchy. Reminded me of a granola type bar. This does have 4grams sugar , 21 carbs, 15 protein, 10 fiber, 170 calories. The boxes sale for $9.99 but gnc does have buy one get one half a lot . 

5. 
 I got these at target. Though after you eat 3/5 of them the sugar addes up. Not one I really do. I did try it. I got them at target. The sea salt one I didn't like. 

6. 
 This one I heard of from a group. It was posted. I am a big fan of red velvet. I went to gnc and brought 2 packages. Not all the gnc' s have it. The guy working asked me if I wanted to buy a box, that they sell out quick. Though I wanted to try it first. I do like them. The issue with these there 5 grams sugar and 3 added sugar. I can only handle eating 1 of these. Sometimes 2 at most. They are 230 calories which other protein bars are less sugar and less calories.  They have 20 grams of protein. They do come in birthday cake flavor  and cherry dip. I wasn't a fan of the birthday cake. I just didn't care for the sprinkles pieces.

How to know your Nissen fundoplation failed

How I know my Nissen fundoplation failed and slips.  I had got burning pain so badly pain in my stomach and heart burn. I would fell the burning going up. Sometimes I couldn't even sit up. I would lay down for a while. Nothing would help the pain go away. It would last and be on going. I would never throw up anymore. Then all of a sudden I threw up. After that I would feel my stomach muscles killing. The burning pain. It wouldn't go away till I had to repeat the surgery and fix it. First I would do a barium swallow to make sure it slipped. Yes barium is not that fun to drink. The scan is 1-2-3 easy. The test will show where the Nissen fundoplation is and if there is a hitial hernia.  They say every 7 years you might have to do it over. For me it was every two years. Yes you will have pain. Even with pain you have to wait to get a date to have surgery again. Of course larascopic is the easiest. After two surgeries I had to have it open thoracic. The pain and recovery was hard. T

Vitamins

Talking about vitamins in general and after stomach surgeries. I hate pills. I crush everything , take liquid or take chewable. Well I found about patch md. They make patches. Which helps a lot because not everyone can swallow or likes flavors of certain pills. My blood result came back everything was normal. Which means they do absorb and work. I wear the patches at night . When I was away I did flinstone chewables and caltrate chewable vitamins. Also if my order don’t come in time , I forget to order more I take them. Both flavor taste good . The only thing low was iron, that I’m anemic . Which I had brought a liquid from whole food, chewable from vitamin shop , and liquid of wellness . I haven’t tried any but the chewable. The taste of it is good. I take one a day with breakfast. It does not bother my stomach either . Also I take dissolvable biotin. As well as I use certain it’s a ten and vitamin E hair products. Another I take is b12 dissolvable. I know people ask flavor taste? The
