What are some good Protein Bars that you all are eating? I am looking for some tasty, low carb, low sugar, and high Protein bars.

My nutritionist recommends Quest bars. I've never had a Protein bar even after 9 months pre-op because I've tried to focus on foods that won't cause carb or sugar cravings.

However, I am going to attempt making my own. The "Good Eats" collection on Netflix (episode 2) has many recipes for great all-natural Protein bars. The quirky host (Alton Brown?) is entertaining to watch and models the cooking procedure in a way to make it easy to duplicate yourself.

Quest energy bars have some of the most delicious flavors! It doesn't feel like punishment to eat them.

Another vote for Quest. Also the Quest Protein chips if you are really craving something salty. I put the light Laughing Cow cheese on them.

I bought some different flavors of Quest bars a couple of weeks ago. I haven't been able to get past the first bite of any of them. That was my first and last time I'll bother with Protein bars.

Another Quest vote here! The texture is odd... Threw me at first. Once I thought of it like a tootsie roll texture it was all good!

I love the Quest bars too! I have not tried them since surgery. I loved the apple pie, s'mores, and cookie dough for sure!!!

      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.
