Thank you all, for feedback and suggestions. I am just trying to figure out work life food balance.

Not too sound like a broken record, but Built bars are what I use when I need to have something with me to get a little nutrition and protein. I am particularly fond of the salted caramel and the coconut. At 140 calories and 17 grams of protein, they work very well in my diet.

Ones I’ve tried and liked- GNC lean bars
Atkins bars (but be careful with the sugar alcohols),
Bariatricpal bars (specifically the mint chocolate one),
Protein One bars as they’re 90-100 calories and 10g of protein (can find at grocery stores near the other protein/granola bars),
nature valley protein bars (these do have 6-8g of sugar but also provide fiber (usually from nuts/peanuts) and 10g of protein for around 180-200 calories depending on variety) l. I mostly buy these for my kids but I also eat them on occasion.
Ones that are meh- pure protein bars, zone bars (too much sugar and weird texture), quest bars (the crunchy ones are good though!), power crunch (they have a kind of waxy outer coating to me).

Definitely check if you can cut or crush what you have been prescribed, but I see you’re only four days out and may also have some soreness remaining from the tube down your throat during surgery. What you describe about only feeling it on the right side is exactly how I felt after my endoscopy and it cleared up after a few days. Good luck!
