I would hope by now you can! I was allowed at that point. I just started eating Quest bars, really like them. A few of the flavors do not have artificial sweetners, which is what I prefer.

I just bought some Quest bars today, even though it will be a couple more weeks till i can eat them, but they have 20g of protien and like 19g of fiber! HOLY MOLY I will spend my calories on them if I can get all this in one little bar! I bought the banana muffin, and a chocolate brownie one, i have heard from a few people that these are the best flavors :)

Yes they are good. They have a new chocolate chip cookie dough that's amazing. I could only find it at the Quest home sight a couple weeks ago.

Me and Protein Bars are a lost cause. They don't fill me up at all and the ones I buy taste good more like a treat but I end up still eating cause I'm still hungry.

I found out that GNC now carries Quest Bars, I only saw them online before. They actually are pretty filling. I bought the brownie and didn't care too much for it, I could really taste the artificial sweetener in it. I really liked the cheesecake bar and it is sweetened with stevia.

I agree...I can find many other food options even in a hurry and I don't consider them a snack. I prefer fresh fruit peanutbutter cottage cheese yogurt when I need a quick meal. The Fit n Active bar that I use on occasion is 180 cals and only 10 gms Protein.< /p>

Well I tried just a small bite of the protien bar and it did not taste good. Even though its 30g or protien it's a lot go calories. So no bars for me.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
