6 weeks post- op does any one know if your allowed to have protien bars?

I would hope by now you can! I was allowed at that point. I just started eating Quest bars, really like them. A few of the flavors do not have artificial sweetners, which is what I prefer.

Thank you! I found protien bars that are same brand as the shakes I drink

I bought some but I just cant make myself spend the calories on them. I will save for an emergency. What kinds do you all like?

I just bought some quest bars today, even though it will be a couple more weeks till i can eat them, but they have 20g of protien and like 19g of fiber! HOLY MOLY I will spend my calories on them if I can get all this in one little bar! I bought the banana muffin, and a chocolate brownie one, i have heard from a few people that these are the best flavors

Yes they are good. They have a new chocolate chip cookie dough that's amazing. I could only find it at the quest home sight a couple weeks ago.

Me and protein bars are a lost cause. They don't fill me up at all and the ones I buy taste good more like a treat but I end up still eating cause I'm still hungry.

I use protein bars as emergency meals. In general they are too high in cals to be a snack.

I found out that GNC now carries Quest Bars, I only saw them online before. They actually are pretty filling. I bought the brownie and didn't care too much for it, I could really taste the artificial sweetener in it. I really liked the cheesecake bar and it is sweetened with stevia.

I agree...I can find many other food options even in a hurry and I don't consider them a snack. I prefer fresh fruit peanutbutter cottage cheese yogurt when I need a quick meal. The Fit n Active bar that I use on occasion is 180 cals and only 10 gms protein.

I bought the brownie today, I heard it was good one! Hopefully I feel the same!

Well I tried just a small bite of the protien bar and it did not taste good. Even though its 30g or protien it's a lot go calories. So no bars for me.
