I have tried many. Without a doubt Quest are the best! chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, White Chocolate Raspberry and Cookies and Cream are favorites.

I prefer larabars. Nine ingredients or less, no artificial sweeteners the sugar is from dates. No GMO's, sugar free, dairy and many are gluten & vegan as well. Qwest bars have stevia in them and I'm allergic to stevia.

If you feel creative you can make your own using your choice of nut butter, and your own Protein powder. You can then add in your choice of mix ins such as dried fruit, coconut, oats, or nuts. Check pinterest for recipes.

I'm very much a fan of the Clif Builders Bar chocolate Mint. Beware they are a little high in calories (270) and carbohydrates (30g). However, this is what I eat before I go into the gym each morning and complete a cardio workout that usually lasts 60 minutes. My Dr does not recommend them for all of their WLS patients but they have told me that with my activity level they are fine if I limit myself to 1 bar per day. Beware they are very good!

I have celiac disease so that takes a bunch of them out of the running, but I do eat and love Quest bars. .. apple pie flavor is my fave.

Larabar makes several gluten free options.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
