Protein Bars?



Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a good Protein Bar that is high in Protein and low in sugar and calories?

Quest bars are high in Protein, low in sugars and carbs. But they are also pretty high in Fiber. I didn't have the wrapper with me to ask my NUT about this. I'm not sure how much fiber you can eat after you have the sleeve. Here's the nutrition label from a chocolate brownie quest bar. (you can also top it with Peanut Butter for extra protein)

1 Bar

Calories 170

Calories from fat 50

Total fat 6 gm

Total Carbohydrates 24 gm

Dietary fiber 19 gm

Sugars 1 gm

Protein 20 gm

Other Ingredients:

Protein Blend (Whey Protein Isolate, Milk Protein Isolate), Isomalto-Oligosaccharides (100% Natural Prebiotic Fiber), Almonds, Cocoa, Water, Natural Flavors, Sea Salt, Lo Han Guo, Sucralose.

Hope this helps. It's not been easy for me to find a Protein Bar that is low in sugars and carbs.

Sounds great! Do you know where you can buy them individually?

You have to buy them online.

Oh Yeah bars are really good. They are 7 grams of carbs You can get them online at vitacost.com, which has all sorts of Protein powders, Vitamins, supplements, and everything else imaginable. You can also get them in health food stores like GNC but it's cheaper to get them online.

Power Crunch bars are really good and have 10 grams of carbs.

Just watch the carbs. It's better to have more protein than carbs. Most Protein Bars are around 200 calories.

Actually, Quest Bars are now beginning to show up in GNC and Vitamin Shoppe stores - not always the best flavors (apple pie is my favorite!), but hopefully that will change.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
