Protein bars?



Recommended Posts

I like the Protein Bars from Sam's called Pure Protein. They have 20 grams of protein in each bar. They are good for a snack or when I am in a hurry and can't stop to eat. One Bar is like a full meal for me. I can eat just one bar and be satisfied. When I know I am going to be gone for any length of time I put one in my purse to make sure I won't be tempted to eat something I shouldn't. It works for me. :rolleyes:

I eat the ones from costco occasionally. I used to eat them all the time but then I tried the Oh Yeah bars. I love them. I get them from vitacost.com

I like the ones from Pure Protein, they are yummy. They are all high in protein and low sugar! The carb count is usually 18-20g, but I don't super low carb so they work for me.

Pure Protein is too... protein-y for me. It tastes funky. I really like the Oh Yeah! and the PowerCrunch brands so far. I'm just trying a bunch. I really wanted to like the ThinkThin ones, but they tasted like Protein Bar too much. LOL. I guess the "wafer" ones are more my style as well.

How soon after surgery did you guys start using the bars? I am 2 1/2 weeks out and really struggling to get in my Protein. I tried that whey powder stuff but is is so clumpy I can't get it down. I was moved to soft foods on Monday of this week but not sure if they qualify for that.

I didn't start eating the Protein Bars until I was about six weeks out. I am not sure the system would have tolerated them any earlier. I took them on our vacation with me and they were a definite lifesaver.

Another vote here for the OhYeah! wafer bars. I tried their regular Protein bars and they were too dense, the wafers are just right. I hated the Pure protein ones, too dense and weird-tasting. I tried one called Quest in the Apple Pie flavor and it was okay--kind of like a chewy Nutrigrain bar. I don't eat protein bars often, just carry one in my purse for emergencies. I was probably 3 months out before I ate one.

Does anyone do Protein bars? Like for a quick Protein on the go? Im 7 weeks out and was at costco and tried these really good protein bars. Just wanna know If so what kind, and ETC THANKS

I almost bought some protein bars at costco today. They weren't the Pure Protein ones, even though they had those. It was a brand called Premier Nutrition that just has PROTEIN in huge letters on the front of the package. 30g of protein per bar. What kind do you use?

Another vote for Pure Protein although I like only the chocolate Peanut Butter flavor and not the other flavors.. It has 18 carbs I think 2 carbs sugar with the 20 grams protein. It is dense as someone said, but I find it filling if I get stuck eating a protein bar as Meal Replacement. Someone mentioned Power Crunch. those taste really good to me -- like a cookie -- which is a bit of a problem for me. In addition, they only have 13-14 grams of protein, which is a little low. for my needs. On the other hand, only 10 grams of carbs, 5 of them sugar. Quest made me sick when I tried them, but that was a long time ago -- at 4 months or so. I could probably eat them now.

      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.
