I was told by my Dr. to say away from them, too many carbs.

Pre-op or post-op? (You're post-op but asking about pre-op, so not sure which you meant).

I'm trying to up carbs so starting today, actually, I added in a Pure Protein bar for lunch. 200 cals / 6g fat / 16g carb ((9g net cars) / 20g Protein. I bought several individual bars, all different brands and flavors, so sample and find what I like so these aren't my staple or anything. There are higher protein & lower carb bars out there. Look at Quest brand bars if you're conscientious about carbs - they're as low as 2g net carbs (and those 2g aren't sugar carbs).

I have to say the Pure Protein Bar went down nicely. I was able to eat the entire thing in about 10 mins, which is fairly unheard of.

Look up the Atkins bars...I use them all the time. Takes care of the munchies & gives you the protein! atkins.com The chocolate chip granola & Peanut Butter granola are great!
