Protein bars



Recommended Posts

I like Power Crunch. They're similar to a sugar wafer consistency. I don't do very well with rhe very dense bars. I have had all flavors, but the double chocolate and the vanilla are my favorite.

I gotta second Quest Protein bars They have 20 grams of Protein 170-200 calories 17-19 grams of Fiber and around 4-6 non-fiber, non-sugar alcohol carbs.

Some flavors have a few sugar alcohols and some don't.. I am VERY sensitive to sugar alcohols in sugar free candy (like a few werther's originals send me to the bathroom for an hour) but the sugar alcohols in the Quest bars don't affect me.. I think they're from a different source.

And they're wheat/gluten free. The Power Crunch bars look GOOD and are fairly low in sugar but I stick with Quest because I can't have wheat :(

From the Quest web site, Amazon.com, or GNC. I went by my surgeon's advice on Protein bars.

What Amanda Rae said plus Vitamin Shoppe.

You'll want to wait until you're on full foods. They're delicious but VERY dense.

      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.
