Hi Anita,

I tried the atkins protein bars and they were yucky. MedRX is even worse and tastes like carboard! But I suggest you give Luna bars a try...... in the flavors of S'mores and Nutz about chocolate.....you will love them, I promise!

I just bought myself 2 boxes....one of each and have one every morning now.

Tell me about it. I tasted one just a few weeks after surgery,

and on the basis of that sample, I bought two boxes. Unfortunately,

I bought the WRONG flavors!

Anybody wanna buy two boxes (minus one bar each) of Atkins bars

at a nice discount? The flavors are Chocolate/Coconut/Medicine

and Chocolate/Macadamia/Medicine.

>MedRX is even worse and tastes like carboard!

I managed to choke down most of a box of those the first

couple weeks post-op, when I was desparate for anything

with protein. (At 32 grams per bar, they do have a LOT

of protein.)

> But I suggest you give Luna bars a try......

I looked at those on the GNC site. Problem is, they really

aren't PROTEIN bars. They are just listed under " Bars and

Snacks " (under Nutrition and Wellness).

They have:

4.5 grams of fat (no worry, since we can't absorb it);

24 grams carbohydrate, of which 12 grams are SUGARS, (can

you say " Gas, here I come? "

10 grams protein

If you just want something convenient, I suppose they are

fine, but if you are looking to supplement your protein,

you'll have to eat a bunch of them.

Hi Anita:

I looked at that web site, but I could find NO information about

the ingredients/content of the bars. If you have a wrapper handy,

could you post the number of grams of Carbohydrate, Fat, and Protein?

Thanks,

Tom

Where can I buy Luna bars? Are they sold online? at a store? Please let me

know. I have been trying bars and haven't found one that I particularly like?

To add to that, I haven't found a protein powder I like either. My surgery is

June 26 and I would like to find a powder (since that is what I will have to

had right after surgery) and a bar (for after the first few weeks).

Thanks,
