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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
