Anyone have any suggestions for a decent Protein Bar? One that I can digest without so much sugar that doesn’t taste grainy? Most bars taste like crap, so I’m not sure. I need them in my life. Lol

I love the ones from Quest Nutrition especially these

The code NAQ441 will give you $5 or $10 or 5% off, all depending.

I also love a few from Oh Yeah Almond bliss is to die for.

I used Quest Protein Bars. They have a lot of Protein, low sugar, a variety of interesting flavors and have Fiber. Fiber is important because one of the problems that arises from time to time is Constipation.

That’s a great point, especially since I’ve been experiencing bad constipation lately myself.. going today to purchase a variety of bars.. I’ve been focusing on lots of Water and I have benefiber powder , although that didn’t seem to help much this weekend when I was desperate. Thank you.

GNC has a huge selection of Quest bars. Flavors I wasn't aware of.

I've also been using the Atkins Protein bars which are like a candy bar. They aren't as dense and heavy as Quest bars so I like that. With quest, they are tasty, but if I eat more than half, it feels like a rock in my tummy. I do like both of those, though.

Yeah I️ have a few Atkins ones, those are amazingly tasty. I️ also have tried the quest today for the first time and was impressed! I️ had about 1/3 if the bar as a snack since it is so thick. Got rid of my chocolate cravings. I️ put the rest in a zip lock bag for next time.. Power Crunch bars are incredible too. Taste like a wafer .

I agree with all the posting on Quest Bars. I've tried others and they are really good. They have a new flavor Birthday Cake that is amazing! There other flavors are good too. Vitamin Shoppe has a sale 2 for $4.00. Good chance to try different flavors.

Quest here, too. Great to have in my purse as a go-to if needed. Half is usually all I need, then I'm solid. My husband (didn't have surgery) loves them too. His fave is the Apple Pie. Mine is the Cookies and Cream. We've yet to find the Birthday Cake variety anywhere. He's itching to try that one.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
