looking for a good Protein bar.

coopercoop

i like the Atkins bars 6/box

many others enjoy Quest bars

WARNING WARNING WARNING :o

Protein Bars "can" be dangerous!!!!!

they taste like candy and it can be hard to eat just one

some "might" think - ohhhhh its chocked full of protein

its ok if i eat alot, today, tomorrow

but excess of anything isn't good

even if there is a lot of protein

they are addicting for me like a drug :blink:

don't like to buy them often, cuz i know i will eat too many

but sometimes when i go grocery shopping they "jump" into my cart :lol:

hate it when that happens!!!! :D

i see from your profile you are about 6 weeks post op

hope all is going well :)

you are on the road to a healthier, happier, longer life :)

good luck :)

I have to say the chocolate chip cookie dough Quest bars are amazing. I have also tried the Cookies and cream and the strawberry cheesecake. (I didn't enjoy those 2--they were too sweet for me! But I've read good reviews of both of them.) I have placed an order for trials of banana nut, lemon, brownie, and peanutbutter Quest bars. I agree with Proudgrammy that they can be sliders--even if you can't eat much right now. Good luck!

I've only tried one - the Quest Lemon and I thought it was awful. I'm afraid to try others now.

I like Quest bars, too. They make two types that are sweetened differently. The one I get has stevia or another natural sweetner (name isn't coming to me right now) as a sweetner. The Double chocolate Chunk and Coconut Cashew are very good.

I love Quest bars. Several of the flavors, that is. I like choc chip cookie dough, Cookies & cream, vanilla almond, and cashew coconut.

Other flavors of theirs that I think are ok but not wonderful: cinnamon bun, white chocolate raspberry, and strawberry cheesecake.

TexasMeg - I don't like the lemon either.

Oh my little grasshopper........what we seek and what we ask for needs only to be experienced........

Well.......you did ask for knowledge. :P Point being, you missed a really important part of the inquiry. It's obvious to me the designers of these power bars are nutrition geeks that never get around to eating their bars. And the marketing guys are even worse. I mean.......A picture of a slice of apple pie and calling it "apple pie". Really?? My guess is you will be trying alot and settling for the ones you can tolerate. Good luck......Enjoy. :wacko:

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
