What are some good Protein Bars? Thanks

I found Quest bars to be very good. They have a variety of flavors, so try a sampling to pick the one you like the most. After I picked the kind I liked the most, I ordered them by the box on Amazon over the internet to get the best prices.

I also fully endorse the Quest bars. I suggest trying a variety. My personal favorites are strawberry cheesecake, apple pie and white chocolate raspberry. They provide an excellent amount of Protein and are low in net carbs. In addition most contain around 20g of Fiber which will help move things along. You will be hard pressed to find a bar that offers fiber like this one.

I'm anti Protein bar myself. They are too much like candy bars, like a candy bar in disguise. Most of them are high in sugars and even the ones that aren't taste like sugar. It's too much of a trigger food for me.

I feel that they are food that go down to easily, are chewed up and eaten too fast, and don't really fill you up. They are a slider food to me.

I like eating beef Jerky a lot. It's not like a candy bar, takes a long time to eat, fills you up, and is high in Protein.

Just my two cents.

The salt doesn't bother me. I have a hard time with meat too but Jerky seems to go down. I have to chew it really well of course.

I've not found anything that compares to the awesome macros provided by the Quest bars.

They are Protein packed, loaded with Fiber and have very low sugar. I've tried most of the flavors and find them to be outstanding.

It's going to be a while before I'm eating stuff like that again......but when I do, Quest bars will be a staple. I'll keep a couple boxes locked away in my desk at work. Take a bite and chew forever.......repeat a few minutes later. It'll take a while to eat a bar as they are very dense.

Great product.

My sister is a bypass patient (15 years ago) and she is really fond of Cliff bars. I'm not really familiar with them but will give them a try, too.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
