I just purchased two by Quest(cookies & cream and chocolate chip cookie dough)

Haven't taste the cookie and cream yet but the other one is ok. I love their Protein Powder as well and that the fact they sale in singles so you can try out before you purchase a big container. But the cal count is 190 and have 21g of Protein

I'm sure they have them at your local GNC

I switched from Quest Bars to Combat Crunch after Quest switched over to soluble corn Fiber. They just did NOT agree with me anymore after that. So Combat Crunch is my go-to now. My favorite is the Cinnamon Twist flavor, but I also like the chocolate Peanut Butter Cup.

GNC carries them. They are in a black wrapper.

Nope. They just taste like a candy bar to me.

Are there any Protein bars out there which do not have sugar alcohols in them? I'd like to up my Protein a little but every bar I've tried has upset my pouch (RNY).

Some of the common sugar alcohols include xylitol, maltitol, erythritol, etc.

If I remember correctly, some of the Quest Bar flavors don't have sugar alcohols. The ones that do use erythritol.

The best Protein bars I have ever had are the Oh Yeah One bars. I don't think I can ever force myself to eat another Quest bar again. The difference is night and day. The Lemon cake tastes just like lemon cake, it is delightful.

      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.
