Does anyone have any good Protein Bars to share? We just tried a Quest bar from the gym and do not like them!

I love and buy only the Cliff Builder's 20g Protein bars in chocolate mint. The best price or at least around Boston is at Target. My dietitian told me to buy those because they have the 20g of protein. I have also had the chocolate and chocolate Peanut Butter, but the mint I love. I also keep them cold.

Arlene - how many calories to the Cliff Builder's have? I'm looking to venture out & try some different ones.

Which Quest bar did you try? I didn't care for the chocolate, but I love the chocolate chip cookie dough, and the vanilla almond crunch. The chocolate Peanut Butter weren't bad, either. I love Quest because they have 17 grams of Fiber plus all that Protein. Helps me with other issues - lol! But they're expensive.....$2.79/each. Even if I buy a box of 12, they're still about $2.49/each.

I also like the Quest , cookie dough and vanilla crunch.. they have less sugar and more Protein than most bars.. some of the protein bars have a huge amount of sugar, which is not good for me. the other protein bars I like are muscle milk but for some reason I can't find them in Walmart or anywhere anymore... they were also only about 2 gms of sugar and 20 grams protein...

Yeah......a Quest bar and plenty of Water during the day, has completely stopped my need for Miralax :rolleyes:

I believe that the Vitamin Shoppe carries the Muscle Milk bars. I haven't tried them yet, but I will pick one up next time I'm in the store. I also have a BIG problem with sugar, and some of the other bars mentioned, are loaded with it. Gives me that blood sugar spike, then the fast drop where I become a shaky, brain dead idiot. That is one cycle that sets me up for out of control eating, and since I've been living a pretty clean life since surgery, I seem to be even more sensitive to it.

I have been a big fan of the Atkins Advantage and keep them around when I need a quick Meal Replacement.< /p>

For a snack, I absolutely love the Atkins chocolate hazel nut bars. OMG - it's like eating a candy bar, but only has 3 net carbs. Such a treat! The Atkins caramel nut chew bars are exactly like Snickers, minus all the sugar and calories. Every time I eat one I'm waiting for the sugar shakes, but it never happens. Amazing....

I tried cookie dough. It wasn't horrible. White chocolate raspberry was awful. Maybe I will keep trying and try Luna as well. Have heard good things about them.

      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.
