Best Protein Bars



Recommended Posts

I usually deduct dietary Fiber from carbs to get the net carbs.

We are going to have a lot of issues getting enough dietary fiber with our sleeves, so I have no problem with healthy carbs :-)

My biggest concern is sugar. I was diagnosed pre-diabetic pre-op and that is why I had the surgery. I don't want to make things worse.

Agree with glorified candy bars.... that said I do love a Quest bar. I stick with the "natural" ones just because they have a few less calories than the other flavors. My favs are strawberry Cheesecake' date=' Coconut Cashew and chocolate Peanut Butter.[/quote']

Hi! What makes some more natural than others? I'm thinking about ordering some Quest bars...thanks!!

Sorry can't answer that question. Just noticed when looking at them at GNC the the ones labeled "natural" have 160-170 cals where the others are 190-over 200.

I have tried so many, but I found one that is the BEST tasting one... however, other than taste, it has a rather low amount of Protein and high sugar :-/

it's the Honey Nougat from LA Weight Loss. Hard to find if you aren't a member, and on their website, they require you to buy 8 or 16. :-/... but I maintain that taste wise, the BEST I've had... but oh well... sorry can't be of more help.

The are low is sugar. Some are sweetened with Splenda, others are sweetened with stevia. You'll do fine

It is all a matter of taste, however from a Protein standpoint it has whey Protein isolate. 20 gms of protein, 5 gms of carbs, low sugar.

I love Quest bars and Power Crunch bars. I tend to have quest bars more often.

I ended up buying the variety pack from Quest directly. Much cheaper that way and now I can try every flavor to see what I like.

I like to make my own Quest bars. I have a serious problem with niacin and it is just easier to make my own. Its so much cheaper too! Oh and they are delicious, I wrap mine in wax paper and use one of Targets snack measurement zipper bags and store them in the fridge.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
