Is a protein bar safe 2.5 months out?



Recommended Posts

Quest bars are awesome and most of the flavors have only 4 net carbs.

Quest bars are amazing. One word of caution though - don't eat them for all your meals. Not that you would, but some of us (ahem, maybe it was me, maybe it wasn't...) enjoyed the flavor varieties a little too much and decided it would be delightful to eat 5 bars a day for 3 days instead of real food... Bad idea. Lol

Word of caution try not go by total carbs not net carbs, research online shows net carbs is based on formula from food companies. Much debate about subject on line.

I'm still a fan of the Quest. They now have blueberry muffin I hear is good, and they have a pumpkin for the season. Prefer the chocolate mint as it isn't as sweet as the others.

Do not get Mission1 - OMG! It's like nasty chocolate cardboard! Throwing it away and eating a damn banana! (I'm pre-op).

You can get Quest bars at GNC. They have good sales now and then, a great time to stock up.

My Nut recommended these during the soft food stage too.

If I were going by total carbs and not net carbs, there is NO way I would be in ketosis. But, I pee on the stick that measures ketones and it is as purple as it can be (160+ present). So, I think there is a lot of good research and science to back up how the net carbs affect your glucose levels differently via sugar alcohols/fiber/etc. it might be controversial, but it seems to work.

I bought some Quest cookie dough bars today at bed bath and beyond. They had a huge variety of many brands. Anyway, I ate a half of One Bar and it was great tasting and filling. I give it 2 thumbs up along with Atkins brand.

        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
