 I am  almost 4 months out from my surgery and want to buy some protein bars for emergency use.  What ones are good? What should I be looking for? P.S. I don't llike nuts.

What I look at is carbs, sugar & sugar alcohols. I like Quest Bars because they're high in fiber, low in carbs & sugar and many of the flavors don't have sugar alcohols. I buy them online at the Low Carb Grocery.

With protein bars, I keep them in my bag for emergencies (like if I forget breakfast) and for before & after the gym - I'll have 1/2 before & after.

 I buy the "Chocolate Deluxe" Pure Protein bars at Walmart.  $7.00 for 6 bars.

180 cal, 21g protein, 15g carbs (great if you are a dumper).

 I have to agree with Simona - Quest bars are my favourite too.

 Today I bought a package of assorted Premier Protein bars at Costco.  I tried one today and found I could eat half of one.  I ate the other half for a snack later on in the day.  They have 30 grams of protein.

I was looking at a bar that had the following:
Calories 150
Fat 6g

Potassium 110mg
Sodium 190mg

How is this for our use?

 Have a box of the Walmart bars and they are good, pure protien

The quest bars are FANTASTiC and Popeyes has a great selection.

Protien edge from Popeyes are alright but have the least amount of carbs of all three
