Not sure how far out you are but I have found the Kellogg's high fiber/protein bars just in the grocery store. They have 10 grams Protein, 7 grams fiber!! They are mostly nuts so I tend to have them as a snack and they are delicious!!

Quest bars seem to be the best for me. I like the Cinnamon Roll, Mixed fruit, and chocolate Brownie flavors.. Although the chocolate Brownie flavor makes me want a glass of milk! Haha. They are 20g Protein and 17g Fiber (and gluten free). Plus if you go to their site and email them asking for samples, they'll mail them to you for free :)

I don't tolerate the Protein drinks well for some reason so I mainly have to rely on the bars. As far as the gas goes I haven't had a problem.. Since I was sleeved Dec 6, I have trouble going to the bathroom lol, so the Fiber really helps me. I hope this was helpful!

Quest bars are good. I like think thin bars and pure Protein revolution bars. Pretty much my staple protein bars.

I prefer the Clif Bars. They are a great source of Protein and taste great.

Do you worry about all the carbs in the Protein bars?

I get the bars from Costco... they have a chocolate fudge and a Peanut Butter kind. They are yummy... no gas side effects.

Thanks guys! I appreciate your suggestions. I was mainly eating the premier bars. I have switched to a Detour bars. Problem solved! These do have more carbs but I only eat one a day.

I'm seeing a lot of suggestions for different kinds of Protein bars. I was told only whey protein isolate. I've found many kinds with whey protein but only a few with the whey protein isolate, Quest being one of them. Is everyone told the isolate only, or is it just depending on your doctor?

I was not told that

If nutritional value is on point, whey Protein won't matter vs isolate. Isolate is nutritionally better for you because it's derived from a more pure form, but whey is still good to go in my book as long as the values aren't crazy off.

Quest bars and Cliff bars were my go to bars before surgery and will be when I'm cleared for whole foods.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
