protien shakes vs protien bars???

i was wondering if any of you instead of protien shakes do protien bars?? if so which ones do you recommened.?

I have both but avoid bars because they seem to constipate me where shakes do not.

 I use the bars because my surgeon says no no to the shakes because they are liquid calories. She wants me getting my protein in through food.  I am recently trying the Atkins ones. They usually have up to about 12-15g of protein and they taste really good!

I love Oh Yeah Bars my fav is Almond Fudge Brownie Good Grab only 190 Calories, 9 Fat, 18 Carb, 14 Protein.  So Yummy!  www.vitalady.com sells samples of bars. 

I have one every morning.  Not only was I told no liquid calories, but protein shakes and me didn't get along from the get go.  They don't pack as much of a protein punch as shakes do, but they are a good way to boost your protein. As long as you are not on a strict carb limit, some of them are carby.

I agree with Shana16 the OH YEAH Bars are awesome, my favorite is the chocolate carmel...YUMMY!!!!  Plus they give you plenty of protein, and fill you up.

I cannot wait to substitute bars for liquid protein. Too early for me

I like the Special K protein bars...I have one every morning and I usually keep one in my purse for emergencies!!  I don't do shakes - gag!! 

I have a bar almost every afternoon.  I only have the pure protein bars.  I love them and they are loaded with protein.  (They were even recommended in The Gastric Sleeve book).  They do not constipate me..in fact sometimes the opposite.  They satisfy me in the afternoon when I need a pick me up.  I do not do the liquid protein anymore.  you can get them at costco...but they sell a variety pak and I am picky on my flavors.  You can get them at target or smart n final.  Or I am sure you can find them on line.  Try them
