Are you pre-op or post-op and which surgery?

I don't have a specific number, but my team's rule to me was to limit any item I eat to under 10 grams of sugar per serving, with the exception of one piece of fresh fruit per day and then I don't have to worry about the sugar on that.

I really don't eat carbs any more because I need to meet a 80-90 gram of protein goal - so to get all that protein in it is always protein first. Once every two or three weeks I'll have some bread or a bagel.

I don't think I've tried anything else with Allulose. But even the stuff that other protein bars use as a so-called "fiber" doesn't act as fiber at all. It has calories, and effects blood sugar very quickly. Another reason that doing net carbs on processed foods doesn't work.

I am a nurse and depending on your age centrum or equivelant of the store brand works well. And the expense is minimal

Personally, I buy my protein in bulk whey or casein specific. Usually 25lbs. I flavor with various things from the Crush's Pineapple Coconut to those little Mio mixes. I even buy my extracts and sweeteners in bulk.

As for recipes, an example would be if I need a cream, I use the lowest fat cream cheese or Greek Yogurt (tip: Sam's or Costco's has a great product with good macro profile) with some casein. I try to make it a protein mix with as little fat/carb profile with high protein content. It pretty much replaced my milk products, since you can also MPI protein in bulk or beef up your own milk.

I am almost 10 years out and have been told that it should be for life. They are now finding out that patients are having all sorts of issues years down the road because they did not take their vitamins/supplements.
