Protein Bars



Recommended Posts

So does anyone have a Protein Bar (or in my case part of one) for Breakfast instead of Protein shakes?

I'm finding I like them better and can eat it better than drinking a shake.

Thank you for your input.

I am 5 weeks out and have a Protein bar a couple times a week with no problems. It's a nice change. Just watch out for the carbs

I'm considering having one every morning instead of a shake. I haven't been able to eat an egg or anything else breakfasty since surgery. And I usually eat breakfast on the run so my options are limited.

The bars I found that I like are the Quest bars. The carb counts a bit high but I try not to consume to many any other place right now. I'm still focusing on getting enough Protein in.

I've been eating half one every morning. Yes the have carbs but I don't really watch carbs I just try to get enough Water, protein and calories in a day.

I'm a fan of the vanilla crunch and coconut cashew. They have 22 carbs but the VAST majority of that is Fiber. 18 grams!!!) so really the net carbs are 4...not too bad for a protein bar. They don't have the texture I want in a bar but they're pretty good overall!

Pure Protein bars are pretty good from what I've heard. I eat the chocolate deluxe and its wonderful. Try that one. It's found at Walmart.< /p>

I like the consistency of the Quest bars. Feels like I'm eating a meal. Some of the others remind me too much of a candy bar. I'm trying to steer clear of all candy type things.

I started eating Protein bars at about 8 weeks out. Mainly because I needed the extra calories and Protein. Was still having a hard time getting them in. Now I just use as a Meal Replacement or if I'm feeling like additional calories are in order.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
