I'm with @@Elode on this one at this point. But I WILL say that I have that issue if I eat or drink anything within an hour of eating one. I also eat, at most, 2 a month in case of emergency. Maybe if I had more of them I'd have noticed more?

I eat one every other day or so and have not found that a problem. I love them and have to restrict how often I eat them because I don't think they are the best source of Protein for me

Certain flavors go down great for me, others give me terrible gas. (Well, I say this having only eaten 3 bars total so far, 1/2 at a time, so take this with a grain of salt.) I'm treating it like a science experiment, trying different bars and taking notes.

So far, the mixed berry one has been great. The Peanut Butter chocolate gave me terrible gas both of the different days I ate half of one. And I couldn't stand the taste of the mint chocolate one. (It has weird pea green chunks in it that do not look like food!)

I haven't tried other brands since the sleeve, but used to find most of them too sickly sweet -- more like candy bars. I like the sweetness and text of Quest bars, but they do seem to have a lot of carbs, though.

Used them on my mountain climb. Not a huge fan, I prefer beef Jerky as an emergency food.

@@OKCPirate, absolutely agree - though I use Jerky as a convenience food also, it helps when you make your own.

      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.
