Quest Cinnamon Roll. Tasty AND filling! i love the PBJ ones as well but way too many calories so I avoid them.

I tried Quest chocolate cookie dough I think it was...and I nuked it in microwave on a plate. O.m.g.

The others I will have are pure Protein bars.

But....I only eat the bars in a real pinch...their too many carbs for my personal preference.

If I eat one. which is very rare. most of them have to many ingredience I cant read and wayyyy to much sugar. But if I do, I get a Larabar. Its the lesser of all the evils. with a very minamal amount of sugar.

Thanks for the info! I won't make them a staple of my diet, but when in a pinch nurse and Nut both suggested I grab a Protein bar instead of a shake now because it will last longer and be more filling.

I asked them which are better and they gave me a whole list of them...so I figured, I'd ask those that have already been there and done that.

Thanks again guys!

Mine are Power Crunch...I love love love the chocolate mint (think-thin mints) and vanilla creme, but they have several flavors...they are available online at the Vitamin Shoppe at a really good price... low carbs and sugar...I keep one in my purse at all times for "emergencies"... i.e. I'm out and about and feeling the hunger pangs..

      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.
