I always found that Quest bars were good. They come with a lot of different varieties, have good Protein, low on sugar and high in Fiber. The fiber was important because sometimes post surgery, constipation can set in and the fiber helps.

I like Premier Protein chocolate shakes and bars. The bars may have too much fat or sugar for your guidelines shortly after surgery, so watch for that.

My surgery date is scheduled for 4/25 and I just started my liver shrink diet yesterday. I like the Syntrax protein powder in vanilla torte and cappuccino best so far. Make with Carbmaster or Fairlife milk to get an extra 10-ish grams of protein. Not sure where you are, but Kroger brand protein bars (esp peanut butter flavor) taste great, Balance bar (esp caramel nut blast), and Quest bars taste okay (but are expensive). Like you, I get one small meal a day (3oz lean meat, 6 unsalted crackers, steamed veggie or small salad with nonfat dressing). I'm getting around 900-1100 calories a day and 90-ish grams of protein this way. Good luck on your surgery and the next couple of weeks as you shrink!
