I haven't really found any real protien bars that I actually like... I told my nurse when I was getting my fill yesterday about the new Fiber One coconut and almond bars which are really good if u loke almond joys she asked how much protien was in them told her 6g she informed me it wasn't really considered a protien bar unless it had 10g of protien or more. She suggested that I try the Pure Protien bar so I did this am the chewy chocolate chip 20g of protien and it was ok. Any suggestions from you? I just can't seem to find bars that I like... The EAS or myoplex bars are terrible!

I like Questbars (18-20g protein) and NUGO Bars (11g protein) the best.

I second the questbars and they really help with your Fiber count because they are high in fiber, which also knocks out the carb count if you do net carbs :) win, win! I just got Peanut Butter and jelly, lemon pie, and strawberry cheesecake, I haven't found one I don't like yet.

Perfect foods bars are amazing, and the Peanut Butter one has 18g of Protein.< /p>

I live the white chocolate macadamia Zone Perfect bars. I like the pure Protein also, the s'mores and caramel nut are my favs. The zone ones are more or a Krispy rice texture where the pure protein are soft and chewy.

GNC sells a number of Protein Bars that I like, some with as much as 30g of Protein. (i cut these in half) I especially like the PB pretzel ones.

I second the pure Protein bars the Peanut Butter ones and the nut Carmel are pretty good. Personally I keep protein bars as a meal in the case of emergencies. My doctor doesn't believe in Snacks. In general they have too many calories to eat them just because. The bars you mentioned sounds mean really more like candy bars. I think protein bars can be a slippery slope. The better they taste the more likely you are to eat them as snacks and as I mentioned above my doctor doesn't believe in snacks.

      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.
