Have you tried making your own? I make a chocolate Peanut Butter Protein cookie for breakfast (I still like that flavor lol), but on pinterest, they have lots of protein granola bar ideas :) Most of them include dried fruits, Protein Powder, an egg or two, honey, and oats. I think Quest bars (at GNC) also make some fruit flavors. Those are super high protein and low carb for sure.

Unfortunately most "breakfast bars" and granola bars are super high in sugar and carbs. But since I hate the artificial taste and chewy globby texture of most Protein bars, I have had to try and find a compromise....

Natures Valley Protein Bar is made of real nuts with soy Protein isolate that doesn't effect the texture. 10g protein, 6g sugar. Both the Peanut Butter dark chocolate and Salted Carmel nut are good

Natures Valley Greek Yogurt Protein is also real nuts and soy protein isolate. 10g protein, 11g sugar. I've only tried their mixed berry and it's good.

GNC Lean Bars. Texture like a rice crispy treat. 15g protein, 7g sugar. The strawberry yogurt is my fav, but the chocolate chip is good, too.

Since I'm under goal, I've been trying to add more healthy carbs to slow weight loss. I just added some "not so high in protein but still not high in sugars" bars to my snack list.... Kashi pumpkin spice flax granola bar, Kind Healthy Grain vanilla blueberry and Puréed Organic Ancient Grains (just found them at Sam's Club and they contain quinoa, amaranth, flax, hemp, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and brown rice.

      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!
