looking for a good Protein bar.

coopercoop

i like the Atkins bars 6/box

many others enjoy Quest bars

WARNING WARNING WARNING :o

Protein Bars "can" be dangerous!!!!!

they taste like candy and it can be hard to eat just one

some "might" think - ohhhhh its chocked full of protein

its ok if i eat alot, today, tomorrow

but excess of anything isn't good

even if there is a lot of protein

they are addicting for me like a drug :blink:

don't like to buy them often, cuz i know i will eat too many

but sometimes when i go grocery shopping they "jump" into my cart :lol:

hate it when that happens!!!! :D

i see from your profile you are about 6 weeks post op

hope all is going well :)

you are on the road to a healthier, happier, longer life :)

good luck :)

I have to say the chocolate chip cookie dough Quest bars are amazing. I have also tried the Cookies and cream and the strawberry cheesecake. (I didn't enjoy those 2--they were too sweet for me! But I've read good reviews of both of them.) I have placed an order for trials of banana nut, lemon, brownie, and peanutbutter Quest bars. I agree with Proudgrammy that they can be sliders--even if you can't eat much right now. Good luck!

I've only tried one - the Quest Lemon and I thought it was awful. I'm afraid to try others now.

I like Quest bars, too. They make two types that are sweetened differently. The one I get has stevia or another natural sweetner (name isn't coming to me right now) as a sweetner. The Double chocolate Chunk and Coconut Cashew are very good.

I love Quest bars. Several of the flavors, that is. I like choc chip cookie dough, Cookies & cream, vanilla almond, and cashew coconut.

Other flavors of theirs that I think are ok but not wonderful: cinnamon bun, white chocolate raspberry, and strawberry cheesecake.

TexasMeg - I don't like the lemon either.

Oh my little grasshopper........what we seek and what we ask for needs only to be experienced........

Well.......you did ask for knowledge. :P Point being, you missed a really important part of the inquiry. It's obvious to me the designers of these power bars are nutrition geeks that never get around to eating their bars. And the marketing guys are even worse. I mean.......A picture of a slice of apple pie and calling it "apple pie". Really?? My guess is you will be trying alot and settling for the ones you can tolerate. Good luck......Enjoy. :wacko:

      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.
