Protein bar recommendations?



Recommended Posts

I will be 6 weeks out and traveling. I was planning on having at least one Protein Drink a day, but a Protein Bar would be much easier when traveling. Does anyone know of a tasty Protein bar that is soft (not crunchy, I am only 6 weeks out) and low in sugar?

Quest are the best ones I've had. The Atkins ones are good too.

Quest! 6week out myself and I can handle them pretty well. Adkins and south beach have some pretty decent ones but Quest is not chalky

I like Quest too! Be careful with the Atkins. I ate one last night had 11 grams of sugar alcohol and it made me nausea!! Didn't dump thank gawd!

Zone perfect are by far the best tasting and it had Vitamins and minerals. I love the strawberry yogurt and white chocolate macadamia

Surgery date 7/25/12

"Oh Yeah" bars are awesome and some have 28grams per bar. They taste just like a candy bar. Peanut Butter fudge, chocolate coconut and more... my nut analyzed them and they are all good Protein

I'm afraid to try Zone bars. I'm concerned that 15 g of sugar will cause me to dump. I'm carefulemtomstay in the 3-5 sugars per 100 cal range. It severely limits my Protein bar choices!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
