Obligatory. Because.

Tamara asked, "Why the protein bars...to control nausea?"

Nope.   Some of us find, after WLS, that some foods work better than others. 

For me, many regular meals cause distress by either gastric dumping (food hits the middle of the small intestine instantly after going through the small pouch, causing sickness) so I do not eat much variety.  Some foods are entirely off-limits - such as, Spinach! and Cold Cereal!  I get very very sick from some foods. 

Also, some foods or combinations of foods cause me to have a bizarre reactive hypoglycemic reaction.  (See yesterday's dinner.  Beef ribs and broccoli.  My blood sugar dipped to 35 one hour after eating.  I would have passed out if my kids didn't feed me sugar.)
