I was just wondering people's experience with the Pure Protein bars (Costco).

Why do they suggest on the package to drink 8oz of water with the bar?

I'm 7 months post rny and was able to eat the whole bar (did not follow the package and did not drink water)... It was pretty tasty too.

I am a fan of Quest Protein bars. But it looks like Pure Protein Bars are good. In a Protein Bar you want sugar to be low and protein to be high, so both of these are acceptable.

I never drink liquids when I eat. And that rule holds for protein bars.

Bc with normal tummies it's a small bar and Water is to help feel full. They recommend that with most bars.

The pure protein bars are full of very dense fiber and when you drink water with it, it expands which is great pre op because you stay full on one bar, but post op it can be dangerous, although I found I had to at least take a tiny tiny sip because it was like swallowing sand and not drinking for an hour was too miserable.
