These are my absolute favorite. I can't wait till I can have them again. I'm in the soft food phase. No solids for like 3 1/2 more weeks. My favs are blueberry pie or whatever and maple donut.

How many carbs?

Might vary a little from flavor to flavor. Optimum nutrition Cake Bites are incredible too. 20 G Protein, 5 g sugar (3 added), 25 carbs, and 240 cals for three cakes that could easily be one per snack. They're an amazing nearly guilt free dessert.

Ah I see-im not on solids yet but the carbs would probably turn my away. Seems like alot unless its being used as a full Meal Replacement but then again when i can eat idk if i will be up for losing a meal to the bar. I have seen some great reviews on the flavors though-tempting!

I only purchased 2 of these and was only able to eat 1/2 at a time so I used it as one of my Snacks for the day. Honestly I don't count carbs since I have given up all breads, Pasta, and rice.

Hw: 278
Sw: 232
Gw: 160

My plan counts net carbs so once you subtract the Fiber and sugar alcohol it's only 3 net carbs

I don't really count carbs. It's counted on bariatric pal because I have it set on calorie max and Protein goals so it sortof makes up fat and carbs. My carbs basically come from fruit and other natural sources not simple carbs so eff tracking. I don't even really track fat that much because it's mostly dairy fat, which is good for you.

The 4th year med student said no, this is the time to only focus on loss and not long term health but screw that. I'm here to lose weight while building healthy habits. I want to lose but her 1 lb a day expectation can kiss my ass (even though I'm basically on track). About 19 lbs and it's 21 days tomorrow/today?. Time flies!

      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!!
