Are protein bars safe for transplant patients?

Posted by hello1234 @hello1234, Jul 4 5:07pm

Hi Transplant Family! 😊
I hope all is well. I am a six year post kidney transplant patient.
My neighbor gave me a taste of her Quest chocolate chip protein bar to try. It's delicious!!
I would love to add these to my list of convenient snack foods that I can keep in my purse, but I am not sure about protein bars for my new fabulous kidney.
Do you eat protein bars or do you happen to know if they are a problem for kidney transplant patients?
Also, if you don't like to eat protein bars, what snack food do you keep in your purse or car?
Thanks everyone and enjoy the 4th of July fireworks!

That's awesome, thank you so much for the excellent tips! By the way, I really appreciated your Blue Lizard sunscreen recommendation on our other discussion topic. It works great 👍
Thanks again for sharing all your excellent finds.

@hello1234 you are welcome I talked to a gal this week and she bought some Blue Lizard and she did all the research and it’s a 10/10 product I use it everyday when I swim

@hello1234 The hernia surgery went well. I was up and walking hours after the operation with minimal pain. It took a couple of days for my digestive track to wake up but I'm quickly returning to a normal diet. My only real pain comes when I cough or sneeze. Time will tell how durable the repair will be, but my doctor said I go the Cadillac of hernia repairs and I should have no restrictions after 6-8 weeks.
