If you search fav Protein Bars I think you'll find several threads. But from what I remember, many of us use Quest, pure Protein and oh yeah! as favorites. There are likely many others too that I can't recall :)

Quest bars are the BEST! The Vitamin Shoppe and GNC carry them in my area. The stats are amazing! I have tried almost all of the flavors and have settled in on a few favorites. If you Like them on Facebook they will let you know when they have a sale. Well worth it because they can be spendy. The sale during the holidays offered 20 or 25% off plus free shipping. I ordered 4 boxes of 12. 20 grams of Protein per bar for about 160-200 calories . Very filling. Usually just do a half bar at a time.

I ordered some Seapoint Farms freeze dried edamame from Amazon to keep in my desk drawer. 1/4 cup has 140 calories, 10 grams carbs and 14 grams of Protein. I can't have them for quite sometime as I am only 2 weeks out. Health food stores carry it as well, I've seen it in a few places.

I like Quest and Oh Yeah the best by far and the macros are good for both. For Quest, my fav is coconut cashew and for Oh Yeah, I like the cookie dough flavor. :-)

I LOVE edamame I have some in my freezer. I'm 4 weeks out but not sure if there ok to have yet. I don't really see people talk about them.

Quest bars are great. My GNC store always has them buy 3 get one free. White chocolate raspberry and Chocolate Brownie are my faves. !& grams of Protein tastes better in a bar then Metamucil sludge :-)

Power Crunch and Quest bars are my favorite. I purchase mine from vitacost and AllStarHealth. The prices are so much cheaper.

Just like Phramd08, I LOVE Power Crunch bars! 14 grams of Protein and only 8 grams of carbs! 200 calories! And, they taste like the sugar wafer Cookies we used to have as kids!!! I found them at Trader Joe's and I'm going back for more!!! My doc said that carbs traditionally shouldn't exceed 50% of Protein and I haven't been able to find that in any Protein Bars, including Pure Protein. Power Crunch is the closest I have found!

I like Pure Protein. I just ate 1/2 bar for my lunch time snack. 1/2 = 100 calories, 10g Protein and 1g sugar. They have a large variety of flavors to chose from too.

      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.
