If you search fav protein bars I think you'll find several threads. But from what I remember, many of us use quest, pure protein and oh yeah! as favorites. There are likely many others too that I can't recall :)

Quest bars are the BEST! The Vitamin Shoppe and GNC carry them in my area. The stats are amazing! I have tried almost all of the flavors and have settled in on a few favorites. If you Like them on Facebook they will let you know when they have a sale. Well worth it because they can be spendy. The sale during the holidays offered 20 or 25% off plus free shipping. I ordered 4 boxes of 12. 20 grams of protein per bar for about 160-200 calories . Very filling. Usually just do a half bar at a time.

I ordered some Seapoint Farms freeze dried edamame from Amazon to keep in my desk drawer. 1/4 cup has 140 calories, 10 grams carbs and 14 grams of protein. I can't have them for quite sometime as I am only 2 weeks out. Health food stores carry it as well, I've seen it in a few places.

I like Quest and Oh Yeah the best by far and the macros are good for both. For Quest, my fav is coconut cashew and for Oh Yeah, I like the cookie dough flavor. :-)

I LOVE edamame I have some in my freezer. I'm 4 weeks out but not sure if there ok to have yet. I don't really see people talk about them.

I found a protein bar @ fresh market call Taste Thin. 0 grams sugar 20 grams protein. Grabbed one to see what it taste like since they are B1G1 right now. Tasted pretty good. I was surprised.

Quest didn't cut it for me however Atkins protein bar is awesome!!! Low sugar, high protein:)

Quest bars are great. My GNC store always has them buy 3 get one free. White chocolate raspberry and Chocolate Brownie are my faves. !& grams of protein tastes better in a bar then Metamucil sludge :-)

Power Crunch are the best protein bars I've found so far and have the fewest carbs. I love them! I live in a fairly small town and the only place in town I can find them is Walmart.

I tried life chioce from walmart. They were ok at first, but now I can taste the sugar alcohols. Can't do protien drinks because they turn my stomach!!

Power crunch and quest bars are my favorite. I purchase mine from Vitacost and AllStarHealth. The prices are so much cheaper.

Just like Phramd08, I LOVE Power Crunch bars! 14 grams of Protein and only 8 grams of carbs! 200 calories! And, they taste like the sugar wafer Cookies we used to have as kids!!! I found them at Trader Joe's and I'm going back for more!!! My doc said that carbs traditionally shouldn't exceed 50% of protein and I haven't been able to find that in any Protein Bars, including Pure Protein. Power Crunch is the closest I have found!

I like Pure Protein. I just ate 1/2 bar for my lunch time snack. 1/2 = 100 calories, 10g protein and 1g sugar. They have a large variety of flavors to chose from too.

When did you all start to eat the protein bars, how many weeks out after surgery?

Protein power triple chocolate. Only ones I eat. Freeze them and they taste like kit Kat bars. I eat 2 a day.
