I had a coupon and was going to try them but if I remember correctly they had quite a bit of sugar alcohols and I didn't want to risk the stomach issues they can cause.

I use these rather frequently. They haven't given me any trouble - their carb count is around 22 or 23 so if/when I eat one, I'm careful with my carbs the rest of the day. They taste good however and I can only get through 1/2 of one at a time. Try one and see how it makes you feel!

Begging the obvious.......any reason to use these over Quest? I've been using quest since surgery and no sugar alcohols.....just Fiber and Protein

Ok...yes....I know...there are some negligible sugar alcohols.... But in the realm of 5g or less.......

I saw the Think Thin (before I managed to find Quest), and I was wary of the sugar alcohol as well (sugar alcohol never agreed with me pre-surgery, and I don't want to risk it post-surgery).

I do quite like the Quest though...I can only do half at a time, but they're tasty, and about perfect for after a walk or bike ride.

I find Think Thin bars a bit dry for me. I used to eat them occasionally pre-surgery but I always needed Water with them. I'm afraid to try them again now for that reason. I really do like the Quest Bars (Cinnamon Roll, Cookies and Cream, and Apple Pie are my faves)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
