I need a good Protein Bar with high Protein low carbs, calories, fat, & sugars. Any suggestions and where I can buy them? Thanks

I like Quest Bars. They are one of the more clean bars on the market, and they taste really good if you warm them up for just a few seconds!

You can order online, I am not sure what stores though as I live in Canada and it is different here.

I'm torn on Protein bars - in a pinch or every once in a while, I can see needing them.

I have some Quest bars on order - I haven't tried them.

Health Wise (I order from mybariatricpantry.com) has some interesting bars - I like the Peanut Butter bars. I eat 1/2 of one at a time.

Power Crunch - the stats on them are decent. I tried the Cookies and Cream - it was OK.

I like Quest bars too - great stats, and they travel well ( no melting, crumbling, etc.). I have to be careful with them, I ate one at work last week just because I found it in my bag, but they're my go to option when I'm out hiking and need the energy.

You can order them direct or through Amazon, but if you're new to them you might be better off checking out a local GNC - most of their stores seem to carry a good variety and you can buy single bars to try out flavors. I think Vitamin Shoppe might carry them too.

I was also going to say GNC and I know that Walmart carries Protein Bars as well.

I used Pure Protein because they had less carbs and sugar. From what I've read this past week Quest has not exactly truthful in their stats.

Also, ANY Protein Bar can become like candy almost. One is good, two even better and that is a lot of calories and carbs. :). Yeah, I know most aren't calorie conscious and are only concerned with Protein and at the beginning stages that is great. Believe me later, when you are able to eat more, you can overeat with 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.
