I second Bill’s request for pictures of your bikes. A 19” Rock Combo doesn’t sound like it should be too small, if you ride a 53cm Atlantis.
I like Midge bars and current-model Nitto RM-3 bars. They are both flared, shallow drops. You may still need a taller stem, like a VO Cigne to get the bars way up there, if you no longer like to ride leaned over. Analog makes some very very short stems that could bring the bars back close to you, which would let you sit up straight.

It may be that you can’t get drops high enough on this bike to make you comfortable.
