My favorite is Premier. They are at costco. they are not very low calorie though. They are really big. They have 30 grams of Protein for 300 calories. I usually eat half at a time and I am full.

I like the Pure Protein chocolate/peanut butter.

They are 200 calories, 20 grams of Protein and 16 grams of carbs. Now, I'll post that they do contain 6 or 7 grams of Sugar Alcohol which some people say contribute to gassy issues. I haven't had that problem, and they remind me of a Whatchamacallit candy bar. I have everyday either before or after my workout regimen.

Thanks Oregon Daisy and Tiffy for you feedback on bars.

I have recently tried the following:

Zone Perfect Fudge Graham (210 cal, 14g Protein, 23 g carbs) It was good. :001_tt2:

Zone Perfect chocolate Coconut (210 cal, 15g Protein, 23g carbs) It was good. :001_tt2:

Balance Almond Brownie (200 cal, 15g protein, 21 g carbs) I didn't care for it, but others who like an all chocolate might like it. :laugh:

Balance Gold Caramel Nut (210 cal, 15g protein, 23g carbs) It was really, really, good. :drool5:

All of these I bought at Whole Foods.

I have a few more bars to try, so I will report back later.

Best wishes,

My favorite bars are from BariWise - Caramel Crunch & Peanut Butter. I buy them online (BariatricChoice.com). The caramel crunch bar taste like a $100 Grand candy bar; the peanut butter bar reminds me of a Reese's Peanut Butter cup with a chewy center. Both are AWESOME and I have them for dessert. Each is 150 calories and 15 grams of Protein.< /span>

Linda-

Thanks for the suggestion. I plan to try them!

Since I've started having 1 Protein bar per day, it has been a lot easier to get my Protein in. I'm also feeling less hungry.

Here are more bars I bought at Whole Foods and tried:

Greens+ whey Krisp: Yuk! Yuk! Yuk! :001_tongue::scared0::cursing: This bar is actually green! I couldn't eat more than 1 bite.

Think Thin chocolate Fudge: Yuk! :tongue_smilie:

Think Thin Chunky Peanut Butter: Yuk! :tongue_smilie: Tastes like Vitamins.

I'll post back in a few more days when I have tried more bars.

Best wishes,

I can't try any right now (8 days post-op) but I have been researching. I am really looking for all natural. The two I want to try the most are Oh Yeah Natural and the high-Protein version of organic food bar: Our Amazingly Healthy, Outrageously Good ORGANIC food BARS

Before surgery I loved loved Larabar and things like that. I am hoping to find an all natural but high in Protein replacement.

Reporting on some more bars:

Balance Mocha Chip Bar :tongue_smilie: Not terrible, but not the best

Balance Cookie Dough Bar :001_tt2: Good - tastes a little like a Three Musketeers

Balance chocolate Bar :tongue_smilie: Not terrible, but not the best

Balance chocolate Raspberry Bar :thumbdown: didn't care for this one at all

Balance Honey Peanut Bar :001_tt2: Good

I also bought a sample box of BariWise Bars. I cut a little piece off the bars and tried them all. The three I liked the best were:

Caramel Crunch :drool5:

Peanut Butter :drool5:

Rocky Road :drool5:

The BariWise Bars are better than most of the bars I have tried. They also have a good amount of Protein for the calories.

The BariWise Bars I liked the least were:

Double Peanut Butter (why take the chocolate coating off?) :tongue_smilie:

strawberry Cheesecake :tongue_smilie:

Not bad, but also not the best of the bunch were two bars with vanilla coating:

Caramel Brownie :001_smile:

oatmeal :001_smile:

Best wishes to all,

Where do you get the BariWise.< /strong>

I wrote down the web site my daughter got the Oh Yeah bars but now I can't find the paper I wrote it on. I know it's the Protein something. Maybe the Protein shop or protein online. I just know it's better to get them that have more protein than carbs and that's hard to do. My dr. said that net carbs is a bunch of bunk. He said our bodies really don't know the difference between artificial sugar or real sugar and carbs or sugar just make us crave more carbs or sugar.

When I was eating bars, I liked the Medifast bars because all of them taste good, have only 100 cals, and are high in Protein, 15 gms, and only 15 gm carbs..but they are pricey. I might try the BariWise bars, they are much cheaper.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
