I have tried many. Without a doubt Quest are the best! chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, White Chocolate Raspberry and Cookies and Cream are favorites.

I prefer larabars. Nine ingredients or less, no artificial sweeteners the sugar is from dates. No GMO's, sugar free, dairy and many are gluten & vegan as well. Qwest bars have stevia in them and I'm allergic to stevia.

If you feel creative you can make your own using your choice of nut butter, and your own Protein powder. You can then add in your choice of mix ins such as dried fruit, coconut, oats, or nuts. Check pinterest for recipes.

I'm very much a fan of the Clif Builders Bar chocolate Mint. Beware they are a little high in calories (270) and carbohydrates (30g). However, this is what I eat before I go into the gym each morning and complete a cardio workout that usually lasts 60 minutes. My Dr does not recommend them for all of their WLS patients but they have told me that with my activity level they are fine if I limit myself to 1 bar per day. Beware they are very good!

I have celiac disease so that takes a bunch of them out of the running, but I do eat and love Quest bars. .. apple pie flavor is my fave.

Larabar makes several gluten free options.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
