Does anyone have a list of specific Protein Bars that are ok/recommended after sleeve? I'd like to get some to keep at work incase I get stuck but I know they can vary wildly in quality. Whole brands are helpful, but if someone has specific flavors they would recommend that's also great.

You are right, they vary wildly in quality. If you read the labels, many of them are nothing more than candy bars in disguise. I don't eat many, but one I don't mind is Quest. They are fairly low calorie, low carb, high Fiber and high Protein. I find they taste the best warmed up in the microwave. They are a different texture than your typical bar, no fake chocolate coating and on the chewy side.

I'm not a big fan of Protein Bars at all, but the one I have eaten a couple of times is the Pure Protein chocolate/peanut butter. It has 20g protein for 200 calories if I remember correctly. That's a good percentage. ONLY 14 carbs, which is still too many for me but not bad for a Protein Bar. Kinda chewy...definitely not a reeces Peanut Butter cup....but tastes fine.

Looked at that link. What do they mean by "active carbs"???

Looking at the labels... I would say that's sugars... most of their carbs are fiber...

My surgeon recommends one whrte the ratio of Protein to calories is like 10to1

So if it has 20 grams of protein it should only have 200 calories

There are a few that fit this formula,and some from the same.maker that are way out of line,so read the labels. And if you follow that formula you usually dont have to be concerned.with sugars or carbs,because they are usually low

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
