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.

      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.
