I am having trouble finding Protein bars that are low carb' date=' high Protein, low fat.....what are you all doing?[/quote']

Just bought some nu go slim bars on the recommendation of another poster. They are really good and have zero sugar, 20 g of protein, 19 g of carbs (fiber and sugar alcohols) and are low fat ( do not recall how many grams). They are also made of organic natural ingredients and each bar is 180 calories (+- 10 calories, do not recall the exact number). I also like the think thin bars, but cannot eat them too often because their calorie count is at 270 a bar. However, they have about the same carbs and Proteins as nu go thin bars. You can order a sample pack of 3 nu go bar flavors for 7 on their site, no shipping costs. I like all the flavors, but think brownie is the best.

I love Quest Protein bars! chocolate brownie is my favorite flavor. It has 20 grams of protein, 5 non-fiber carbs, and 6 grams of fat. I'm not sure how that stacks up against other protein bars, but my NUT recommended this brand.

One more thing about Quest bars...they have no sugar alcohol, which I cannot tolerate for some reason. So that's another plus.

On the down side, they cost $2 each.

I wish promax would come out with a "thin" version of their bars. I used to absolutely love their Cookies and creme bar after working out at the gym (many years ago). It has a ton of sugar in it though. Same is true about cliff bars. These are great to eat before a rigorous hike, but pack too much sugar to be eaten just as a snack. Hope the marketing guys are listening. We want low carb versions of these!

Big huge 2nd! I tried one of these today (bought the sampler box on amazon) for the first time. It was fine plain, but I nuked it for about 20 seconds and OMG. It seriously tasted like a thick, fudgy brownie straight from the oven.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
