I've looked at lots of Protein Bars, but they have too many calories. If anyone has found any that have less than 200 calories and at least 20 g Protein, please let the rest of us know.

Funny you should ask.... I just had one for Breakfast to try out. I think I looked at the wrappers of every bar at the store... this one was 180 calories and 20g of Protein. It's called Pure Protein Revolution and the flavor is chocolate Peanut Caramel. Granted, it didn't really taste like a Snickers... but it was a nice reprieve from shakes.

I got a couple of free samples of Quest bars in the mail and I really liked them. They're low carb, 20g of Protein, no sugar or sugar alcohols, and around 170-210 calories each.

They did keep me satisfied for a long time.

I eat them if I have to drive a long distance because they're convenient, but I have found that if I'm 'tight' that day, they are not a smart choice as they do bind and can get stuck.

Luna Protein Bars have 180 calories. Make sure you look for Luna Protein not regular Luna. You can get a box of 6 for $5.99 at Target and there are four flavors.

I second the Pure Protein Bars, definitely one of the best I've found! I just started eating Luna Protein bars and they are realllllly yummy, and have a couple different flavors than the Pure Protein. Both brands are low in calories, carbs, and sugar and high in protein (can't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure it's at least 20g).

      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.
