Hi, I am really not a fan of Protein bars! But I know I need to keep some in my purse since I am doing errands all the time.

Which one would u guys recommend? I assume they should be soft to be able to chew 30 times????. This is the hardest part for me the chewing!

I recently got into Atkins meal bars particularly the Cookies and creme flavor. Out of all the ones I've tried that was the least dreadful! But I've found myself not to excited about bars either, just have them as a backup!

I would recommend Quest Bars. While they are mostly between 180-200 calories they provide 20 grams of Protein each and around 1 gram of sugar. Also they contain plant-soluble Fiber. A whopping 17 grams of fiber. Very low in carbs. I would recommend buying the variety pack from quest directly to see what flavors you like but it is an excellent resource. Keeping one in your car and one in your purse is ideal. You definitely get the most bang for your buck with quest. So far I like strawberry cheesecake and apple pie the best. Still have more to try. Think Thin bars and Pure Protein also have excellent bars but contain more artificial ingredients and no where near the fiber content. Which helps things move along ????

I have heard a lot about Quest bars! Do you order them online? I checked my local Sams, costco, and Walmart and I didn't see them.

I get my Quest bars at GNC or on Amazon online. Purchase the $20 GNC yearly membership and you get a significant discount. No tax or shipping if there is a store near you. Apple pie is my favorite. Have one every day for Breakfast :)

I love the Qwest chocolate chip cookie dough bars - you can get them on Amazon or at Sprout's if you have a Sprout's near where you live. Always keep one in my purse --

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
