Someone on another board recommended the Power Crunch bars, I tried them and fell in love!! They are not too dense and I can complete a full bar in about 30-45 min :)

does anyone know how many carbs the Quest bar has? (not net carbs--I don't really believe in that, though I know a lot of people use that formula). thanks!

Around 22-24 carbs... but 18 of them are Fiber.. typically only one or two sugar and 0-4 sugar alcohols.

And you really don't believe in net carbs? I'm skeptical of subtracting sugar alcohols, but I definitely subtract Fiber. I eat TONS of fiber which put my carbs up over 60 sometimes, but I stay in ketosis because most of the carbs are from fiber.. if I ate 60 carbs in a day from sugar it would definitely kick me out of ketosis so there's definitely a difference at least in my body.

Where do you get these?

I love Power Crunch bars as well. I got a bunch of flavors at GNC but my local Walmart had a 5 pack of vanilla (which are delicious) for under $6

Silly pre-op question...I have tried every flavor of the Quest Bars and have only been able to eat one completely, I think they taste awful does anyone think this could change after surgery? Did anyone love them pre sleeve? Not that I plan on using them alot but the option would be nice

It's kinda like gravity....you may not believe in it...but it works just the same. :)

In all honesty to everyone else, the Quest bars are not the tastiest and not the cheapest....but nutritionally they are about as good as it gets. Most of the rest are basically Protein infused candy bars. Not the way to get in your Protein on a regular basis. I try to eat them only when I'm out longer than I thought I would be and need something.

Protein Bars...even the quest bars....have been known to trigger carb cravings in some people. I don't ever recall anyone saying that lean turkey breast triggered their cravings for apple pie.

I don't know about that butter.... I just ate a piece of dried up chicken and I'd kill for a donut right now! Oh or a Protein bar!! :P

I'm not sure I would compare net carbs to gravity. There's a lot of debate about whether the net carbs thing is legit. I think some people can eat more carbs than others and stay in ketosis. With that said, I do think that Fiber is a good thing. I do well with fiber from lower-carb veggies.

BTW for those who subtract fiber from carb counts, do you subtract all of it, or half of it?

      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!!
