searching 4 good high protein bars



Recommended Posts

I have been trying different ones in preparation for the lapband. I have found the ones by Pure Protein are fairly tasty. They are carried by Walmart. They contain 19 gm Protein; assorted flavors. They sell individual bars so you can try each flavor to decide which, if any, you like.

Another tasty one is South Beach Living Crispy Meal Bar in Cinnamon Creme. It is also 19 grams Protein but doesn't taste like it is healthy! Which, of course, it is. It is also available at Walmart.

Depends on what point you are talking about. My surgeon recommends Atkins induction phase for pre surgery weight loss if you have three weeks or more before your surgery. The induction phase limits you to 20 g of carbs per day, which is very, very low.

I am a Pure Protein disciple. I love the chocolate and smores flavors. They are relatively low cal, no sugar, filling, and easy to digest. Plus they are pretty cheap and much more easy to find now than when I was banded 9 short months ago.:lol:

I can't stand the taste of most Protein bars...so if you're like me, and you're willing to sacrifice a bit of protein for taste, I would recommend Special K Protein Meal Bars. They have 10g. of protein per bar, and taste really really good! I usually eat one in place of Breakfast.< /p>

      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.
