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.

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.

I did not know this about the stall bit. Do you have some information on that I could read? 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.

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.

Thank you. 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.

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.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
