I tried a couple of brands, Quest and Atkins...

I felt just yucky right afterwards.

A little bummed as I was hoping to be able to sub them in sometimes .

Anyone else not feeling the love with Protein bars or have any other suggestions?

This happens to me too, especially the chocolate based Quest flavors. I think I'm sensitive to the sugar alcohols or something. I can only eat half at a time and even then it's iffy. The mint Quest flavor was particularly bad and sent me running for the bathroom within 30 minutes. So, I finally learned my lesson and just gave up on the Protein bars. If I'm on the run I'll carry stuff like beef Jerky, nuts or pork rinds.

Really? pork rinds? I loved them pre-op... but didn't know it was something we could have...yum

They're my cracker replacement. LOL I love them with tuna or chicken salad. And 80 calories w/8 grams of Protein is a win in my book!

Part of the issue with Quest bars is the sugar alcohols and part is the Fiber. Many people have issues with them.

I did when I was earlier in the process, but have been fine with them since about 9 months out.

I have never done well with Protein bars. I leverage cheese (yes full fat), beef jerkey, nuts and Protein shakes. Also believe it or not a simple glass of milk will even do the trick.

If I do go to a Protein Bar the only ones I can stand are Atkins. They have a couple that are pretty good but I can only eat half if I am lucky.

In the beginning I actually liked a couple of the Quest bars: apple pie and banana nut were not bad. I could not tolerate any of the ones with chocolate. They just tasted horrible to me.

I have to try that! !!

Premiere protein bars taste like dirt but have an unbeatable 30g of protein per bar.

Great suggestions my friends ????

I LOVE the Marigold protein bars @ marigoldbars.com

I can only eat 1/2 a one because I will dump, but one bar has less sugar than 3 cherries, and as much protein as 4 eggs. Made with very healthy ingredients. I ordered the sampler box and found many I'd like to order again. I've also enjoyed snacking on beef jerky in moderation (too much salt), and love the new Triple Zero Greek Yogurts. They have like 15 grams protein per 1/2 cup. No sugar, no fat, no artificial flavor, but very good.

I also love the Triple 0 Oikos yogurt ... They are heaven !
