I always found that Quest bars were good. They come with a lot of different varieties, have good Protein, low on sugar and high in Fiber. The Fiber was important because sometimes post surgery, Constipation can set in and the fiber helps.

I like Premier Protein chocolate shakes and bars. The bars may have too much fat or sugar for your guidelines shortly after surgery, so watch for that.

My surgery date is scheduled for 4/25 and I just started my liver shrink diet yesterday. I like the Syntrax Protein Powder in vanilla torte and Cappuccino best so far. Make with Carbmaster or Fairlife milk to get an extra 10-ish grams of Protein. Not sure where you are, but Kroger brand Protein Bars (esp Peanut Butter flavor) taste great, Balance bar (esp caramel nut blast), and Quest bars taste okay (but are expensive). Like you, I get one small meal a day (3oz lean meat, 6 unsalted crackers, steamed veggie or small salad with nonfat dressing). I'm getting around 900-1100 calories a day and 90-ish grams of protein this way. Good luck on your surgery and the next couple of weeks as you shrink!

      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.
