The best bar I have found is Quest. The are relatively low in calories, fat, sugars. The carbs are mostly from Fiber. And each bar packs in 20 grams of protein! Unlike many so called Protein bars that are actually over glorified candy bars, Quest bars are the real deal Protein Bar. I have also tried Pure Protein which has numbers similar to Quest, but I simply prefer the taste and texture of Quest better. I purchase mine in store at GNC. They are always buy 3 get one free. ( on occasion buy 2 get one free) That way I can pick and choose flavors rather than buy a whole box of just one flavor. ( I like variety) You can find Quest through many vendors online too.

Ditto Quest is the best nutritionally. If you get tired of Quest and want a treat, Power Crunch is my other fav. Tastes like a cookie, but not quite as good as Quest nutritionally.

I agree Quest bars! I get them when they are on sale at GNC also.

Quest for sure. You can go online and find coupons usually for GNC and when you partner those up with their in store sales it's a really good deal. Once time I got 17 bars for about $10.

I am jumping on the Quest bandwagon...with Power Crunch being an option when I just need something different.

yet another vote for Quest! they are the BOMB. like a candy bar for bariatrics! i love Cookies and Cream and the choc chip cookie dough are good too. they are an easy way to get in 20 grams of Protein and each bar has about 17 grams of fiber!

I have to agree Quest probably has the best numbers, but I have a hard time with the texture. I sacrifice Protein for better texture. GNC Lean bars aren't too bad..15g Protein, 7g sugar, 10g fiber....and like eating a rice crispie treat.

And just for future reference, since I've passed goal I actually look for higher Fiber and whole grain bars rather than focus on protein. regularity and a balanced diet are more of a priority for me than weight loss at this point. Fiber One Protein, Kashi, Kind Whole Grain, and Pure Ancient grains are ones I like.

I tried the Quest bars pre-op and didn't think they were that great. I have a couple of them at home now.... so maybe they will taste better post-op when I am able to have them.

I love the Premier Protein bars and they have 30 gr Protein but 290 cal. I think only 2 gr sugar. Variety box available at Sams or costco. I try not to eat a whole one, but carry one in my purse and eat a half if I am traveling and need a lift. I also like the

Hydroxycut Bars 18 gr protein and 190 calories

      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
