Breakfast Bars



Recommended Posts

Hello, I am still pre-op & I'm looking for a good, low sugar Breakfast bar or snack bar. I hear fo all the Protein Drinks but never the bars, I'm sure reason being, your on liquids, but say, post op..a year out, there must be something good for you...I have been getting Atkins bars, lots of Protein, low fat no sugar...anything else I can try?

From what I've come to understand the Quest bars offer the most bang for your buck nutritionally. They're high in Protein and Fiber and make a good Meal Replacement. If you call them I believe they'll sound you a few for free as a sample pack.

I am also pre op and ordered a Quest Bar variety pack from Amazon. I had one for breakfast every day and once in a while had another for an afternoon snack. After about 5 days I started having cramps and diarrhea. I think I need to find another bar.

They have a ton of fiber so One Bar a day max!! I have been eating then for months but limit them to no more that 1 per day.

I like the oh yeah victory bars and Quest bars. They have every similar stats either just under or at 200 cals for 20 grams of Protein and high in fiber. With Quest you almost have to microwave it to taste good but oh yeahs victory and already a soft texture.

You can buy both of these at stores like Vitamin Shoppe, GNC or stores similar to those.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
