Protein Bar Suggestions



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have suggestions for "safe" Protein Bars? Any that we should avoid?

I was just looking at my doc's suggestions yesterday: my doc recommends Quest (I love them!), Balance bars, Myoplex Lite, Oh Yeah Natural Bar, Detour or the Simply bar.

My personal favorite is Quest chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. It's just like the real thing, and very easy to chew. My suggestion is go to GNC and get some single bars of things you find appealing and start that way.

Thank you! I was just reading " The BIG Book on Bariatric Surgery" and it recommended carrying Protein Bars to help stay on track. *smacks forehead* Why didn't I think of that?!

I like the Quest Bars (White chocolate Raspberry) and some of the Atkins stuff (The hazelnut snack bar). Atkins usually only come in at about 15 gm of Protein while Quest comes in at about 20-22 gm of Protein. I prefer Quest Bars because they have lots of Fiber usually 15-19 grams. You will find on a high protein diet Fiber is your friend. Best Wishes!

I have found the Quest bars are the best for me. These are the only ones that haven't made me feel bloated and gave me awful gas. They even have Protein chips but I haven't had those yet. If you go on Quest.com they even give you recipes that you can use. Good luck! :)

LOVE Quest Bars! They taste great and are very filling. Low sugar and high fiber as well.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
