Not sure how far out you are but I have found the Kellogg's high fiber/protein bars just in the grocery store. They have 10 grams Protein, 7 grams fiber!! They are mostly nuts so I tend to have them as a snack and they are delicious!!

Quest bars seem to be the best for me. I like the Cinnamon Roll, Mixed fruit, and chocolate Brownie flavors.. Although the chocolate Brownie flavor makes me want a glass of milk! Haha. They are 20g Protein and 17g Fiber (and gluten free). Plus if you go to their site and email them asking for samples, they'll mail them to you for free :)

I don't tolerate the Protein drinks well for some reason so I mainly have to rely on the bars. As far as the gas goes I haven't had a problem.. Since I was sleeved Dec 6, I have trouble going to the bathroom lol, so the Fiber really helps me. I hope this was helpful!

Quest bars are good. I like think thin bars and pure Protein revolution bars. Pretty much my staple protein bars.

I prefer the Clif Bars. They are a great source of Protein and taste great.

Do you worry about all the carbs in the Protein bars?

I get the bars from Costco... they have a chocolate fudge and a Peanut Butter kind. They are yummy... no gas side effects.

Thanks guys! I appreciate your suggestions. I was mainly eating the premier bars. I have switched to a Detour bars. Problem solved! These do have more carbs but I only eat one a day.

I'm seeing a lot of suggestions for different kinds of Protein bars. I was told only whey protein isolate. I've found many kinds with whey protein but only a few with the whey protein isolate, Quest being one of them. Is everyone told the isolate only, or is it just depending on your doctor?

I was not told that

If nutritional value is on point, whey Protein won't matter vs isolate. Isolate is nutritionally better for you because it's derived from a more pure form, but whey is still good to go in my book as long as the values aren't crazy off.

Quest bars and Cliff bars were my go to bars before surgery and will be when I'm cleared for whole foods.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
