What I can tell you is that whey isolate is the protein that we absorb better. I'm not sure if there are any bars specifically that have whey isolate in them. I know the ones I use are soy protein and are developed specifically for bariatric patients so if you are in the stage that you can eat protein bars I would think they would be fine. If you are a RNY patient you may have to keep an eye on the sugar or sugar alcohol content but if you are a bander you should tolerate those find.
