What are your favorite protein bars?



Recommended Posts

Just had my 6 week check and was graduated to all food. My doctor said to get Protein Bars. Ultimately high Protein, low carb, low fat and low sugar would be great. I find they either have too much fat or too much sugar. Which do you use?

Thank you all! I'll have to try some of them. I bought a few random bars the other day. I had 1/2 of a Think Thin and it was pretty good. Not too dry at all.

Every time I walk by these somewhere like GNC or smoothie King or the grocery, I feel so tempted. Then I stand there and look at every single nutritional label and put them back one at a time. They all seem to have so many calories or so many carbs in them it is as bad or even worse than the number of calories in a candy bar. Yeah, I know that they are more nutritionally sound and are a good Protein source, but still....

One of the last big diets I was on was TOPS, which really isn't a specific diet. I remember eating Luna bars for lunch very often at that time. 9g of Protein 180 calories, 5g fat, 11g carbs.

Then I think that I could just make an Isopure shake for 100 calories and get 20+g of protein and 0 carbs.

It would be neat if they could do the same with the bars as they do with the shake powder.

Low cal, low carb, high protein and decently tasty.

I like the Quest bar because it has some of the lowest net carbs of any bar I've found. Less than 5 if I remember right. But they are very hard to chew straight out of the wrapper. I give them a couple of hours sitting on the dashboard of my truck, or 10 seconds in the microwave and they are much better.

Atkins bars..... Be careful of bars being too high in sugar and carbs. Atkins had the least of these from what I have found.

      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?
