Protein Bars?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone eat Protein Bars and if so what are your favorites? Does anyone do Luna bars?

Luna bars taste yummy but a bit carby and low in Protein for my needs. I'm a huge fan of Quest protein bars. Most varieties of the quest have around four to six net carbs (carbs-fiber) 18 grams of Fiber and 20 grams of protein. Calories range from 160-200 depending on flavor and they're delicious... Coconut cashew is my favorite flavor.

You can't beat Quest bars.

I've tried the Quest bars, and they are just okay, better if you microwave them for a few seconds first. I'm working through some Pure Protein bars right now. They are pretty good and I really prefer them over the quest. I only eat bars occasionally if I am on the run and don't have time to get a meal. Maybe once or twice a week.

I ordered Quest bars and can't stand them! I tried 2 flavored but can't get over the taffy like texture of them. Now I'm stuck with lots of extras lol. I haven't been lucky finding the right balance between Protein and taste :/

Try microwaving them for about 10 seconds. The chocolate ones are really good that way as are the apple pie it softens them up quite a bit. Right out of the wrapper, not so much.

I love the Quest bars but you definitely have to microwave them or you can not chew them at all, in the summer I throw one on the dash of my car and they will soften up just right.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
