jess9395 5,449 Posted December 23, 2016 Eventually yes! I go through phases where I eat them frequently. I could eat them maybe three months post op and would only eat a half. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted December 23, 2016 3 or 4 months. Just be careful with Protein bars. Early on they trigger restriction. Once I healed they are basically a slider. I eat them now for emergency Protein but they don't trigger restriction and provide zero satisfaction. I'm still hungry feeling after eating them. They are also entirely fake and they can make you stall, especially early on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have them in my truck for when I am out. I haven't quite stalled, but I have slowed to the point of might as well be. The plan is to replace them with Jerky. Soon.

OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted December 23, 2016 Read the ingredients it's all fake and they keep changing to formula and depending on what the formula is this 6 month period, it causes various digestive problems for people. Just Google Quest bars. There is plenty of information, don't just go by my opinion. Any artifical sweetener can make you stall out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have read the ingredients, but I haven't been eating them long enough to notice any changes. I know about the artificial sweeteners, but I am going to do some more reading on that.

jess9395 5,449 Posted December 26, 2016 They affect different people differently. I are them throughout my loss and never had issues with them being sliders or stalling. But your mileage may vary. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
