Here again , I love the MUSCLE MILK PROTEIN BAR-vanilla -toffee crunch-Somethin like that. I bought an expired one one time YUK !! Always ck your ex-date.... I have never been able to finish one. (large bar) CLIFF makes some bars,quite tasty, but only about 10 to 12 proteins in them.... dONT FORGET south beach and special k bars...... I love my string cheese on the go and a LUNCHABLE comes in handy in a pinch (the right one- not a pizza one)....Good luck!!

I have had a hard time finding a protein bar that I could tolerate. I dump very easily so the sugar content in most protein bars have been just too high for me.

I have some now that work for me. They are called NuGo Slim Bars. They have 180 calories, 15 grams of protein, 2 grams of sugar, 6 grams of fat and 21 grams of carbs. They are not part of my regular eating. I get the ones that are chocolate flavored so mostly I use them when I am having a chocolate craving. And typically I only have half a bar at a time. They are very dense and filling.

Costco sells Premier Protein bars. They are huge so half of one is enough. Half a bar has 15 gms protein, 140 cals, 3-4 gms fat, and 12 gms carbs (4 gms sugar). Double it for the full bar.

My favorite are the Quest bars, but they are very dense. I usually microwave it for 10 secs to soften, but that doesn't work on the go (unless you have a microwave in your car...) I use them at work when I am crazy hungry at the end of the day and know it will be 1-2 hours until I can get home and fix dinner. We do have a microwave at work.

Try ostrim meat sticks. Very high protien, low, low fat, no carbs and can live in your purse car ar gym bag.

I have 2 go to protien bars that meet my requirements, don't cause me problems, and are YUMMY.

Think Thin bars - Brownie Crunch, Peanut Butter, and Chocolate Fudge are all fabulous. They have about 200 calories, 20 g protien, less than 5 g sugar and fat. Low carb.

Supreme Protien bars - They sell HUGE ones and SMALL ones, I get the small size (which is really a regular size I think). These are 20 g protien, less than 5 sugar and 5 fat and low carb. The Peanut Butter and the Caramel flavors are like eating a candy bar.

* Pure Protien bars - these are pretty good, but have a little more of a protien bar type taste compared with the other ones. I still eat them once in awhile at 18 g protien, less than 5 sugar and 5 fat.

These are the only ones I have come across that fit with my Dr. and Nutritionist guidelines and taste like something edible.
Good luck!

I am not allowed to have them till 3 months post op! Darn! I tried the Quest bars pre op and liked them. They are very filling so I would think eating 1/4 to 1/2 one post op would fill me up.
I bought the peanut butter/chocolate one and strawberry cheesecake one. Both were yummy. I am looking forward to Sept 11 2012 when it will be three months and I can try one post op!

I used the Premier Protein Bars from Costco for the first year (30 grams, totally filling). Now, I use Peanut Butter Zone Bars. Only 14 grams of protein but they taste good and they don't make me sick.
