I found Quest bars to be very good. They have a variety of flavors, so try a sampling to pick the one you like the most. After I picked the kind I liked the most, I ordered them by the box on Amazon over the internet to get the best prices.

I also fully endorse the Quest bars. I suggest trying a variety. My personal favorites are strawberry cheesecake, apple pie and white chocolate raspberry. They provide an excellent amount of Protein and are low in net carbs. In addition most contain around 20g of Fiber which will help move things along. You will be hard pressed to find a bar that offers fiber like this one.

I'm anti Protein bar myself. They are too much like candy bars, like a candy bar in disguise. Most of them are high in sugars and even the ones that aren't taste like sugar. It's too much of a trigger food for me.

I feel that they are food that go down to easily, are chewed up and eaten too fast, and don't really fill you up. They are a slider food to me.

I like eating beef Jerky a lot. It's not like a candy bar, takes a long time to eat, fills you up, and is high in Protein.

Just my two cents.

The salt doesn't bother me. I have a hard time with meat too but Jerky seems to go down. I have to chew it really well of course.

I've not found anything that compares to the awesome macros provided by the Quest bars.

They are Protein packed, loaded with Fiber and have very low sugar. I've tried most of the flavors and find them to be outstanding.

It's going to be a while before I'm eating stuff like that again......but when I do, Quest bars will be a staple. I'll keep a couple boxes locked away in my desk at work. Take a bite and chew forever.......repeat a few minutes later. It'll take a while to eat a bar as they are very dense.

Great product.

My sister is a bypass patient (15 years ago) and she is really fond of Cliff bars. I'm not really familiar with them but will give them a try, too.

I eat Quest as well, you can get a variety 12 pack on Amazon for around $25.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
