I've heard great things about them here, so I tried two. I did not like them at all. Try it out tho- u might have a better experience.

I've tried the Peanut Butter fudge ones and the wild berry and they were delicious! You can get single bars at GNC if you want to try some out. I really like them and keep one in my purse just in case.

I like Quest bars. They have high quality ingredients and a ton of flavors. I like the apple the best, but also like the vanilla crunch, strawberry cheesecake and oddly... the coconut ones even though I hate coconut!

They are also very low NET carbs and I feel they don't slow down weight loss like other Protein bars can do for me....

My main complaint is they are expensive. What I do is wait for a 20% off coupon and order them online from Vitamin shoppe. Have to by 12 at a time that way, but it works for me since I know what flavors I like.

The flavor I first heard of was the chocolate - supposed to be awesome warmed up but didn't do much for me....

One of the best bars, nutritionally speaking. To make them taste better, microwave them for 20 seconds or leave them in the car for a few hours, cause straight out of the box at room temp they are like eating chocolate covered rubber. Once softened up they aren't bad at all.

Plus, I'm not looking for a Protein bar that taste like a Snickers. I'm just looking for something that will sustain me and give me some nutrients.

Hello. My name is Terry and I am addicted to Quest bars. I usually have the chocolate ones and the vanilla crunch ones. I also like the other flavors though but these are my wife's favorites so I just get these for both of us. Texture does seem to vary batch to batch but I enjoy them a great deal.

I love love love the chocolate brownie Quest bars...have one every evening, to top off my Protein for the day. I also like the vanilla almond crunch (no...they're not crunchy), and the cinnamon bun ones are ok, as are the strawberry shortcake. I would definitely recommend you buy a single one of a variety of flavors, to give them a try, before buying a larger box (they come in a box of 12). I buy mine through the Vitamin Shoppe website....their delivery speed is amazing. Enjoy! :)

Maybe I need to give them another chance. I tried the apple pie one and couldn't stomach it. I even heated it up in the microwave for a few seconds, but no luck...

Try a different flavor. I can't imagine an apple pie Protein bar tasting any good. I've tried three flavors now and I've liked them all. I've steered clear of apple pie and the lemon one. I loathe lemon.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
