Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a good Protein Bar that is high in Protein and low in sugar and calories?

Quest bars are high in Protein, low in sugars and carbs. But they are also pretty high in Fiber. I didn't have the wrapper with me to ask my NUT about this. I'm not sure how much fiber you can eat after you have the sleeve. Here's the nutrition label from a chocolate brownie quest bar. (you can also top it with Peanut Butter for extra protein)

1 Bar

Calories 170

Calories from fat 50

Total fat 6 gm

Total Carbohydrates 24 gm

Dietary fiber 19 gm

Sugars 1 gm

Protein 20 gm

Other Ingredients:

Protein Blend (Whey Protein Isolate, Milk Protein Isolate), Isomalto-Oligosaccharides (100% Natural Prebiotic Fiber), Almonds, Cocoa, Water, Natural Flavors, Sea Salt, Lo Han Guo, Sucralose.

Hope this helps. It's not been easy for me to find a Protein Bar that is low in sugars and carbs.

Sounds great! Do you know where you can buy them individually?

You have to buy them online.

Oh Yeah bars are really good. They are 7 grams of carbs You can get them online at vitacost.com, which has all sorts of Protein powders, Vitamins, supplements, and everything else imaginable. You can also get them in health food stores like GNC but it's cheaper to get them online.

Power Crunch bars are really good and have 10 grams of carbs.

Just watch the carbs. It's better to have more protein than carbs. Most Protein Bars are around 200 calories.

Actually, Quest Bars are now beginning to show up in GNC and Vitamin Shoppe stores - not always the best flavors (apple pie is my favorite!), but hopefully that will change.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
