Are there any good protien bars out there? Ones that taste good, that are lower in calories and high in protien? I currently use Unjury protien shakes, which I really like, but would like to replace the liquid protien for something more filling. My Unjury protien shake has 29 grams of protien and 190 calories when prepared with milk.

Funny you should ask. I just had one for dinner this evening. :)

Premier Protein Bars, made by Premier Nutrition, are excellent. Great taste, not "cardboard-like" or dry. Fresh, chewy and very satisfying. I highly recommend them. You can buy them at a number of places, like costco, Amazon, or from the Premier website: http://www.premiernutrition.com/products/protein.html

If you follow the link and read the text, you'll see they average about 270 calories per bar, (depending on flavor), but contain 30 grams of Protein. The three flavors are all very good, and each is different. I bought mine at costco, where they sell two 12-pack boxes as a bundle. Provides a lot of choice. I keep one in the car, one in my desk at work, and if I'm going out for the day running errands or whatever, one in my jacket pocket. Very convenient.

I found that I like the Pure Protein Bars, the chocolate Deluxe and chocolate Peanut Butter each have 20 grams of Protein and 180 and 200 calories respectively. You can pick them up at Walgreens, Walmart, Target and other places as individual bars to try first without investing in a whole box.

You will probably have to try several to find one you like. Watch your protein to calories ratio.

Happy Testing.

I like balance bars, they are at Krogers, Walmart, walgreens, cvs, etc they are about $1 a bar and taste great!! They are cheaper if you buy in the case. I think they have 6 or 7 flavors.

Girl before you buy any read the label. We aren't supposed to be loading up on sugar and some of these have quite a bit of sugar. I would go talk to the one of the people at GNC for a recommendation.

There are several Protein Bars I like, Pure Protein is good, Atkins Advantage have some some good ones and also I have found one called supreme protein with 15 grams of protein and not alot of sugar and they taste like candy bars to me. I eat 1 a day at least to help boost my protein. They are all available at Walmart, Walgreens and GNC.< /p>

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
