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.

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 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.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
