I'm just 2 weeks out, but I'm wondering if there are any good choices in Protein bars? I don't want to have to order them, just something from the local market. Also, do sugar alcohols cause dumping as well?

I like Quest and Oh Yeah One bars (the "One" in Oh Yeah One means one gram of sugar - that's the one you want since the other Oh Yeah versions have a lot more sugar)

I don't know if sugar alcohols make people dump (I'm not a dumper at all..), but I know they bother some people's stomachs.

I wasn't allowed to have Protein Bars til I was 3 months out so just make sure your NUT clears it before you actually try to eat one. That being said, Quest has some really good flavors. The chocolate chip cookie dough and the double chocolate chunk are among my favs. Just make sure you are getting the newest recipe because last year they jacked it all up and made it gross, but they fixed it at the beginning of the year and it tastes good again.

Premier Protein has a very good Peanut Butter Crunch bar that has 30g of Protein. You can find it at Walmart and Walmart Neighborhood grocery stores. They are less than $5/box for 5 of them. These are OK once you have made it to the normal food stage.

Quest bars are also good, but a bit expensive. My favorite is their S'mores bar which tastes a lot like chocolate chip Cookies.

I am super sensitive to sugar and I don't have a problem with the Quest bars because there is only 1 gram of sugar in the S'mores bar. It's a nice way to be able to eat a tiny bit of chocolate again.

I'm not a big fan of Protein bars but I find anything crunchy goes down a lot better than chewy ones. Do you have a publix? You can buy singles of a bunch of different kinds to try
