2 Years after Sleeve surgery - I have stopped losing

Thanks for the info.

And no, Nature Valley granola bars are not OK for a snack.

As you can read on the box and on each wrapped bar, the 2 bars in each packet are:

Calories 190

Calories from Fat 54

Total Fat 6g 9%

Saturated Fat 0.5g 2%

Sodium 160mg 7%

Carbohydrates 29g 10%

Dietary Fiber 2g 8%

Sugars 12g

Protein 4g

Anything that is 190 calories that has only 4 grams of Protein is AWFUL. Even for a slim person. I am in maintenance (not trying to lose weight) and I would never eat this food even now -- much less when I was trying to lose weight.

Thanks, @@VSGAnn2014 for that analysis.

As my surgeon stressed, reading labels is so critical. He also stressed that the best food doesn't have labels!

For all of us, especially someone so far along in the program, reading labels should be the first thing you do before deciding whether or not it is "ok".

My awesome and brilliant surgeon also advised us to avoid high fructose corn Syrup like the plague. I am just guessing, but something tells me there is probably high fructose corn syrup in processed/pre-packaged granola bars.
