Eventually yes! I go through phases where I eat them frequently. I could eat them maybe three months post op and would only eat a half.

3 or 4 months. Just be careful with Protein bars. Early on they trigger restriction. Once I healed they are basically a slider. I eat them now for emergency Protein but they don't trigger restriction and provide zero satisfaction. I'm still hungry feeling after eating them.

They are also entirely fake and they can make you stall, especially early on.

I did not know this about the stall bit. Do you have some information on that I could read? I have them in my truck for when I am out. I haven't quite stalled, but I have slowed to the point of might as well be. The plan is to replace them with Jerky. Soon.

Read the ingredients it's all fake and they keep changing to formula and depending on what the formula is this 6 month period, it causes various digestive problems for people.

Just Google Quest bars. There is plenty of information, don't just go by my opinion.

Any artifical sweetener can make you stall out.

Thank you. I have read the ingredients, but I haven't been eating them long enough to notice any changes. I know about the artificial sweeteners, but I am going to do some more reading on that.

They affect different people differently. I are them throughout my loss and never had issues with them being sliders or stalling. But your mileage may vary.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
