Hi all

I am desperately looking for some Protein Bars that are sugar free or low in sugar, low in calories, low in fat and taste good. Are there any Protein bars which exists these specifics? I tried Atkins advantage and liked them but a friend of mine pointed out they are very high in fat, is that true? Please, please, please.......post your recommended protein bars which are ok with LAP-BAND® surgery and good for weight loss. Thanks in advance to all of you.............

I eat Atkins bars. I think they have 8 grams of fat. I don't think it's significant, most other things I eat are very very low in fat. Remember, your body needs some fat to absorb fat soluable Vitamins. Best wishes!

I really enjoy the ThinkThin Protein bars. They have 20-grams of Protein. I am diabetic and the bars do not cause any weird rise in my blood sugar (unlike some others on the market). I actually think that I read somewhere that they were originally developed for diabetics.

You really have to watch some of the 'protein' bars on the market. Some label themselves as protein bars but they really don't have much protein in them. I figure if I am going to use 200 calories on a bar I had better get a good amount of protein and a good flavor. My band is tight in the morning so I eat one for Breakfast every day. They go down really easily for me.

Here is the website for all the nutritional information:

think Thin: Protein Bars, Weight Loss Bars, Nutrition Bars

I purchase my bars at Trader Joe's for about $1.60 per bar.

Good luck!

I like the pure Protein bars. 2-3 grams of sugar per bar, about 20 grams of Protein, and 6 grams of fat. They taste pretty good.

Surgery date: 1/25/10

I noticed that the low sugar power bars have a lot of carbs though.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
