Protein bars?



Recommended Posts

Am looking for good tasting Protein Bars that have less than 6 grams if sugar and less than 6 grams of fat and high in Protein. Most that I have found are really high in sugars and they make me sick to my stomach... Let me know what you have found that you like. Post surgery weight 259. Current weight 212. Date of surgery 07/08/13.

Everyone has different taste so its a matter of trying...a lot of people love Quest bars which nutrition wise are the best..I dont like them..I like Power Crunch bars but not the highest Protein but better than a cookie lol think thin are yummy and premiere protein are pretty good at 30 grams of pro

Quest bars can be found at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe, the others at Walmart in the diet and Protein Drink section or grocery store in the health food section

Thank you all. Trying to get to that dreaded Protein number but the Protein shakes get old and they get too sweet. I will look for all the ones listec

Have you gotten an unflavored Protein powder to add to recipes and things like Soups? There is a pretty good chicken Soup protein on powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.com...I get sick of the sweet also but there are tons of easy high protein recipes out there..good luck!

I have not tried the unflavored. Does it change the taste of food? I know it has to b used in not hot food because it gets funky in too hot of food

Broke down last week and ordered the Quest sample pack. Just got it today. Had 1/3 of an apple pie bar for a bedtime snack (okay so I just really wanted to try em!). I didn't love the texture but the flavor is pretty good. I'd buy that flavor again. I'd really love a bar that got real texture and isn't just mush.

i have tried multiple unflavored mixes and find them nasty even mixed in food. unjury has rave reviews and I personally hated the unflavored.

I use Quest bars particularly vanilla almond crunch is my favorite right now. I use unflavored Unjury in orange juice and it doesn't change the flavor or texture. Pure Protein bars at Walmart has 20 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar ... Lightly salted cocktail peanuts gives you about 7 grams of protein for 1 oz. perfect portions Quaker oats oatmeal is another 6 grams of protein ...

Awesome... More great ideas and thank you. I have never been so particular about texture or sweet until after my surgery...seems my taste buds went through a definite transformation. I have been eating kashi products lately higher in Fiber and Protein than the average Cereal, and the bars are pretty good too

When using unflavored you probably want to add it to thinks with a stronger flavor..but I dont notice much of a change. You dont want to heat Protein above 140 because it will start to clump.

      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.

      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.
