Hi all,

Can you please share with me what is your favorite brand of Protein Bar and how many gms of Protein in One Bar? And also the flavors that you enjoy most.

I'm growing sick of my Protein Shake and would like to try the bars.

Thanks!

I want to try the Oh Yeah bars - the only brand that was mentioned on our forums that I could find in India. Do you guys know how many bars are there in a pack?

Power Crunch bars are similar to the Oh Yeah....but, in my opinion, wayyyy better!!! I buy 2 boxes directly from The Vitamin Shoppe online every other week. I like them because they are a wafer and not and chewy, sticky bar. They have 15 grams per bar.

I love, love, love ThinkThin bars. They have 20 g of Protein & no sugar & are gluten free. My trainer at the gym told me about them back in January & I've loved them ever since. I plan on using them once I can have regular food again after my surgery! I found a few flavored I like the best & order them through Amazon because they're cheapest that way. There are ThinkThin & ThinkThin Crunch ones. The plain ThinkThin ones have the most protein in them. I haven't tried any bars made for Bariatric patients yet.

Quest Bars - All the way!!!!!

5 net carbs and for most post ops you will only eat half the bar at the time. They also have 12 different flavors that satisfy the sweet tooth!

I was reading a post from a blogger that she recommends you call the company and see if they have samples they can send. You don't want to spend a bunch of $$$ on something and not like it.

Atkins Bars. I only eat the ones with 10 grams of Protein or more for a meal replacement.Peanut butter granola is my favorite!

The do have some that are great if you just want a snack too... Also, Health Wise has a Caramel Crunch Bar that tastes just like a candy bar & has 15gms of protein.

I really like the Atkins Bars but I haven't really tried anything else. The Meal Replacement ones have somewhere around 17g of Protein with little carbs. I can only eat about 1/2 a one at a time but it gives me that nice full feeling (the good one) that lasts a couple of hours.

I LOVE Quest bars. I have been eating them for months. They have 20g Protein per bar. I like the all natural ones that they came out with a few months ago. I buy the variety box bc I love all of the flavors. You can go on the website and buy One Bar at a time so you can try different flavors.

Hi MomScholar - thanks for your reply! I saw ThinkThin White chocolate on ebay - are they good? Or do you have some other flavor?

Personally, I like the white chocolate, creamy Peanut Butter, and brownie crunch the best. I've also tried crunchy Peanut Butter, chocolate covered strawberry, and lemon that I didn't care for as much. I know everyone is different though. If you like dark chocolate, you might like the chocolate covered strawberry one. It was good, but I don't like dark chocolate much. I have an autoshipment on Amazon for the white chocolate and creamy peanut butter once a month. I postponed it now until after surgery, but plan on still buying them since they're cheapest there and the subscription is a little more discounted. I've found them in a couple local grocery stores, but not Walmart, so you might be able to look around for them too. I tried a few flavors from the grocery store before I bought them on Amazon just because I wanted to make sure I liked them.

oh - they're about $2 per bar at most grocery stores I've found them at. One was $1.79 per bar. Amazon has them for about $1.50 per bar depending on how you order it. You might consider that depending on what you found them for on ebay. I saw some auctions there before & some did end up cheaper, but some ended up even more expensive.

I have tried several different kinds of bars but I have gotten hooked on the Quest Protein Bars. They are a little higher priced but so worth the extra. They have 20 grams of protein and if you warm them up for about 15 sec. in the microwave they are fabulous. The other thing I really like about them is that I can pop them into my purse and I don't have to worry about them melting like some of the bars do. I always keep a couple handy at all times. If you set up the automatic monthly shipments of the bars you save $10 which is very good. I have checked and some of the heath food stores carry them but they are higher priced then ordering them online.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
