Does anyone have a list of specific protein bars that are ok/recommended after sleeve? I'd like to get some to keep at work incase I get stuck but I know they can vary wildly in quality. Whole brands are helpful, but if someone has specific flavors they would recommend that's also great.

You are right, they vary wildly in quality. If you read the labels, many of them are nothing more than candy bars in disguise. I don't eat many, but one I don't mind is Quest. They are fairly low calorie, low carb, high fiber and high protein. I find they taste the best warmed up in the microwave. They are a different texture than your typical bar, no fake chocolate coating and on the chewy side.

These are the ones I am going to try...http://www.questproteinbar.com/

I'm not a big fan of protein bars at all, but the one I have eaten a couple of times is the Pure Protein chocolate/peanut butter. It has 20g protein for 200 calories if I remember correctly. That's a good percentage. ONLY 14 carbs, which is still too many for me but not bad for a protein bar. Kinda chewy...definitely not a reeces peanut butter cup....but tastes fine.

Looked at that link. What do they mean by "active carbs"???

I second the Quest Bars. They are delicious! They have 20 grams of protein and are all natural. I ordered the variety box from their website.

Looking at the labels... I would say that's sugars... most of their carbs are fiber...

My surgeon recommends one whrte the ratio of protein to calories is like 10to1

So if it has 20 grams of protein it should only have 200 calories

There are a few that fit this formula,and some from the same.maker that are way out of line,so read the labels. And if you follow that formula you usually dont have to be concerned.with sugars or carbs,because they are usually low
