Has anyone tried the Zone bars? I found one yesterday that is cinnamon roll! Very good! 210 cal, 15g protien, 22gcarb and 15g sugar...seems a little high but maybe not so bad if you only have a few bites at a time..I've also tried the fudge Graham cracker one..

I worry less about the rest and more about just getting enough protein and nutrients. I really like the nature valley protein bars and they do have 190 calories but 10g of protein and they taste great and are low carb/sugar. protein bars are a great portable way to stay on the eatting frequently track and if you put one in a plastic baggy you can just nibble on it off and on and it doesnt get all hard and gross.

Zone are tasty but for some lower sugar/carb options there are Quest, PureProtein, NuGo, Preimer Protein and Think Thin.

I like the Think Thin bars a lot, and they are almost always on sale at my supermarket.

I don't like the pure protein..guess I'll have to look at others to try...i just bought a few for the first time so I'm still looking at labels

The Quest ones sound good and there's a few Atkins ones that don't sound bad. I haven't had any yet since I'm only 3.5 weeks out, maybe in a few weeks I can try some.

I've tried to eat protien bars but all the ones i've had

have literally gagged me. It's like eating a chewy brick

Lol Jen! I'm glad there is someone out there (successful post-op) who doesn't use Protein bars. Im allergic to nuts and so far I haven't found one that's safe for me to eat. If you can manage without them then there's hope for me! lol

Remember for every 10 grams of protein calories need to be 100 or less
