I buy a box every two weeks from GNC, but I'm more than happy to get a couple for free. Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks, joatsaint, just ordered mine. Never heard of them until this thread, but it appears I'm in the minority there.

Not sure if I can eat them yet but they won't be here for 4-8 weeks, so I should be good then :)

I've tried every one of them but the only one I actually like is the Cookies & Cream. Yes, it is a texture thing but for some reason, the texture of that one seems a bit different. It felt more like I was eating a Cereal bar than taffy and that, I can tolerate.

My husband and I both LOVE Quest bars. I've ordered them directly from the company because it's cheaper even with shipping than at GNC, Amazon, or Max Muscle types of stores from my experience. I don't know what grocery store chains you have in your area, but Hy-Vee is big in Iowa and the stores in the Des Moines area have most of the flavors in individual or by the box and they are the same price as the company when you take shipping costs into account. Most of the time when we want to stock up, we buy by the box because there's also a fuel saver value of 5 cents per box. (For those of you not from here, when you buy fuel saver items they accumulate on a card and you save money when fueling up at Casey's gas stations. 5 cents per gallon of gas with my example above.) Sometimes we leave the store with 30 cents per gallon off our gas price just for the Quest bars! I've tried all of the flavors. I wasn't wild about the Cookies and cream one (I may have been expecting too much) or the strawberry cheesecake one (for the same reason).

My favorites are:

chocolate Chip Cookie dough

Double chocolate Chip Cookie dough

Chocolate Peanut Butter

Smores

Apple Pie

Coconut Cashew

Brownie

White Chocolate Raspberry

My husband loves:

Peanut Butter Pie

PB & Jelly

vanilla Almond Crunch

I bring one for Breakfast at the office every day and drink 24 ounces before I have one and another 24 after (before having lunch). Rarely, do I feel hungry in between.

@@proudgrammy So I tried the raspberry white chocolate you suggested and loved it!!! I also tried the lemon (yuck) s'mores (it's ok but has a cinnamon taste to me and I don't care for cinnamon in food) So favorites are chocolate cookie dough, cookie N cream, and now raspberry white chocolate! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this! I just ordered my free samples. I LOVE Quest bars! I buy them from GNC, Netrition.com, and I have ordered them from Quest Nutrition as well. I really like almost all of them. My favorites are:
Smores

chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Double chocolate Chunk

White Chocolate Raspberry

Cookies & Cream

I like the following but don't eat them as often as the above mentioned:

Chocolate Brownie

Lemon Cream Pie

Peanut Butter & Jelly

Cinnamon Roll

banana Nut

Apple Pie

Peanut Butter Supreme

Chocolate Peanut Butter

I eat Quest bars on a daily basis, sometimes twice a day. I keep boxes of almost all of them in the pantry so I always have the flavors I want available when I want them :) I've also found that many of them are better if you heat them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds. I REALLY like to do that with the Chocolate Brownie, cinnamon roll, banana nut, and apple pie flavors! Yum! Love me some Quest bars!!!!

Cinnamon Roll Quest Bars are my love affair. The Nutrimart stores in my area give you an empty box to fill up with 12 of whatever flavor you'd like for $24/box. I believe GNC and Vitamin Shoppe sell them individually also. Thanks for sharing this for free samples!

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
