Pure Protein bar??

I am trying a new protein bar today (new to me) called Pure Protein.  It has 32g of protein and doesn't taste terrible.  I like it a lot better than the Oh Yeah! bar I tried earlier this week.  Anyway, it has Maltitol and I am wondering if that is the sugar alcohol that causes massive dumping in so many WLSers.  I have already eaten half of it, and now I am scared. LOL

I've had those.  I do o.k. with sugar alcohol but I've heard that some people do dump on it.  I don't like the Pure Protein bars....way too sweet.  I've had a very hard time finding a bar that I do like.  I don't know why they have to try to make them like candy bars.  I was never a big candy fan before surgery. 

I hope that you don't dump it's not fun.  I dump big time on milk and I can truely say that I miss my MOO Juice!!

I haven't had trouble with milk since I was very early out.  I have had problems with certain gum... and I was thinking it has Malitol... but maybe it was maltitol?  Yikes... there is 10g of that stuff in this.  Could be a big problem for me! 

Personally, the more it tastes like a candy bar, the better I will like it.  So far, my favorite is the Zone Perfect Dark Chocolate Almond protein bar.  12g protein and 180 calories... tastes kinda like it has oreo cookie in it, but without the creamy filling.  This one here is kind of like a giant tootsie roll, but not as tasty.

Really? 32 grams? The Pure Protein bars I eat are usually 19-20 g of protein, so I wonder if this is a different variety? What kind is it, exactly? I usually eat Pure Protein chewy chocolate chip or s'mores. Those varieties don't make me sick!! I love them!

This one is 78g total (2.75ounces) it is Deluxe Chocolate.  It was the only one I saw at GNC in this brand and I was impressed by the 32g of protein! LOL  I bet the s'mores one tastes better!

I wanted to let you know...read the labels...If it has more than 1-2 gms of sugar...I don't buy it....I was checking some of those protein bars yesterday.  It seems like the Adkins advantage and the south beach stuff have the least amount of sugar...So no matter the protein be careful.  A patient was telling me yesterday that a freind of hers who had WLS, son who is a weight lifter recommended a protein pack that gives you all the protein for the day.  She couldn't remember what it was.  But she did say it tasted terrible but then was gone.  Does anyone know?  I'm not sure I want to eat anything that tastes that bad LOL I'll just have to get it the regular way.  Patty

Is that so I don't dump on them?  Have you found any that have less than 2g of sugar?  I don't dump on any of the protein bars or shakes I have tried, and I tend to come in well under my carb quota for the day. 

These are the only ones I eat. I eat the smaller size-I think 20 grams. Half at a time if it's a snack-and a whole one if I have to have a meal on the run. They are GREAT!

I also take them and chop them into bite size pieces and put in the freezer for a treat-think SNICKERS!!

Good luck with them

Peace,

I am SO gonna do that with the rest of this one!  Thanks for the suggestion!  I used to do that with Charleston Chews when I was a kid... yummy!

So far I just have a little bit of intestinal irritation... nothing I would call dumping though.

Ive never dumped off of the sugar alcohol but beware it causes terrible peel the paint off the walls type gas at times!
