I HATE chocolate and Peanut Butter. I have a hard time with Protein powders/drinks. I have tried to mix the powder in some yogurt and it's just not working. My question is... has any one found a "good" Protein Bar, that I can use as a Meal Replacement. I really like grabbing one for Breakfast, and carrying them around in my purse for just in case moments. Here is my issue. Like I have already said I HATE chocolate even the fake kind. I have not found a protein bar that doesn't have that awful tasting excuse for chocolate. I like crispy fruit and granola type bars. I can't seem to find any that have a high enough protein content and a low enough sugar content. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Oh, and that Gummy chewy center thing is gross too. You can't have a gummy chewy center and roll it in rice crispy's and think that that tastes good, and is a crunchy bar. Gross.

I got these bars called Pure Protein High Protein Bars. Each one has 19-20 grams of protein in them. Each have on average of 190- 280 calories in them. They come in chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Deluxe, strawberry Shortcake, Chewy Chocolate chip, Smores, & Blueberry crumb cake. You can find food labels for each flavor on Amazon.com if you want to check them out. They are sold as some grocery stores, the Vitamin Shoppe & GNC just to name a few places.

I love PayDay Pro bars, they taste like the real thing. Tons of Protein, priced right .99 to 1.59. Very filling, I'll advise only eating 25% the first time, then work yourself up to 50%. The first time I had one, it was like eating candy, I over ate & you know the rest.

I really like the Atkins Nougat Protein bars. Also, costco has their own brand that are called Premire that are pretty good. they are big and half of one fills me up.

l tend to make a whole plate full and keep them in the fridge (chicken Breast)..great for almost anything...from roll ups, to salad to adding to soup...great source of protein...and theres so many flavors now that you can rub on them..almost like something new each time you cook...

      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.
