Protein Bars

Good evening friends!  Do any of you eat protein bars?  If so, what kinds?  I enjoyed them prior to surgery, but don't know if I'm really suppose to have them now or not.  I have been having a protein drin****asionally.  I think the bars would be something I would eat for breakfast, since I'm not a breakfast eater.  After the scrambled egg issue I had during my stricture days, I don't care if I ever see a scrambled egg again.  LOL

Thanks!

Hi Marsha,

I eat protein bars.  I always keep a couple in the house for those times when I want something sweet and chocolatety. 

Met RX is my favorite brand and they come in several flavors, all of which satisfy my sweet tooth.  Might be worth checking them out.

Huggs,

I have never really been able to eat those bad boys.  They just taste wrong to me!  I'll be interested if anyone chimes in here with a new one I can try.  I'm with you in that it would be an easy breakfast and I really don't like breakfast.

I will say that at the support group meeting last night, 2 kinds of protein bars were mentioned.  LakeGirl likes to eat a South Beach Bar for breakfast.  And Winnebago eats one that he says tastes just like a Snickers bar.  (I'm reserving judgement on that one!!)  I just can't remember what the heck the name of it was.  Maybe Pure Protein?  Maybe he'll fire up his computer and be online soon and can tell you.

I know that WeightWise usually says they want you to get your protein from "real" food.  But I think a protein bar should qualify!

The one that Winnebago was talking about is Detour - I saw them at Sams..

Oh, I loved Detour before surgery.  I have not had any protein bars since surgery.  I'm afraid they will be too heavy and dense for my pouch.  And, for some reason, I was thinking that they might be too sugary for after surgery, but it has been awhile since I looked at the label so I could be wrong on that...

Hi, Marsha.
I try to keep a box of protein bars on hand, mainly for when I'm going out of town for the day...just in case.
I like the Proti-15 squares, vanilla. Wt. Wise carries them, but I think they're called something else (Wt. Wise, perhaps?). Anyway, they're the best I've tasted so far, but everyone's taste is different. They're pretty pricey at W.W., a *****eaper on the web. Here's the web site: http://www.smartforme.com/bari-15wafersnacks.aspx

Mary, the proti squares are cheaper at WW. They are $12.50 minus your discount.

I stand corrected. Thanks. :)

You know I like the Zone Perfect Dark Chocolate bars really well.  I also like the Detour bar and it tastes like a snickers to me.  I have a couple of boxes here of the Zone bars from when I was on the pre-surgery diet.  I think I'm going to try one in the morning for breakfast. 

I like muscle milk light-but I wish they'd come up with one you could leave in the car and not have it get all melty.  The best I can do is leave almonds in the car all the time.

I  like jay robb bars, they are made with "real food", nuts and such, but at 3 bucks a pop, they are a rare treat.
