Having a horribly difficult time getting protien hakes down (chocolate, strawberry-can't deal with the taste anymore) does anyone know if protien bars are okay? There is one that has only 2g sugar and 21g of protien but havn't seen ANY suggestions that thu are okay...anyone got any info for me?

What is the name of that one you posted about

Atkins chocolate chip granola Protein bars are a great choice for gastric bypass patients.( from what I'm told) They provide 200 calories and 17 grams of Protein. Unlike many Protein Bars, which are high in sugar, these have only one gram of sugar.

Maybe others on the Fourm can suggest some other ones.

I Belive there was a post or somebody said something about Protein Bars but could not find it.

What about granola bars have not checked in to them and don't know if we can eat them.???

Think granola has too much sugar and not enough protien (educated guess only)

Ive tried this and it is great! I like to add the sugar free syrups sometimes. Today I added sf coconut to the chocolate and it tasted like a mounds bar. Yum!

What about Quest bars??? Any reviews

There are a couple of posts about the Quest bars. They are the absolute best !! High Protein, high Fiber, low sugar, no fat and they taste great !

My personal favorites are the cinnamon roll, the coconut cashew and the lemon cream pie !!! Yummmmmm. And I am very picky !!!

I use "pure protein" Protein bars. Low in sugar and fat and pack about 18-20 grams of Protein per bat. Ask DLCOGGIN (hope I spelled his name right)...he's the go to guy on here as far as protein. I call him the protein guru. He will get u on the right path. A lot of protein bars are high in fat or high in sugar. Make sure you read your labels.

I like the Pure Protein bars as well with the Frosty chocolate being my hands down favorite. 200 cals and 20g of protein and I think delicious. Their bars come in a number of different sizes all the way up to a whopping 78g of protein. That said, I have never tried the Quest bars but am planning on doing so given the almost unanimous raves about them! Does anyone have an recommendations for the best place(s) to buy them? Pricing on a lot of these supplements can vary widely from on place to another.

Panda you spelled my name perfectly and thank you for the kind words!!

I bought the Quest brownie bars in North Dartmouth and love them. I'll have to try a few others. I agree with DL on the Pure Protein ones as well. I like the Peanut Butter and chocolate chip ones. The chocolate ones are good if you like dark chocolate flavor. I'm a milk chocolate flavor girl so skip those but, hubby likes them alot.

You can get your Quest bars online as well. I don't believe we're suppose to post links to other websites though....you can google them :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
