Quest are the nastiest bars, they literally taste like Protein Bars, you might as well drink a Protein Shake. Sure, they come in nice flavors but they don't taste like it at all. I eat Atkins Protein bars, those actually taste good.

How many grams of carbs/sugar? Which ones do you like?

I think if you try the chocolate chip cookie dough Quest bars you'll love them, there's real chocolate in them ;)

Unsweetened chocolate but really tastes good.. All the other quest bars, I agree aren't great. almond crunch I like though..but just okay.

The mudslide bar has 1 sugar, 3 carbs and 15 Protein. They range depending on what you get, some have 16 or 17 Protein. They have meal bars, snack bars and treats and of course protein shake. They also actually have meals but I don't like them.

The Atkins diet is a low carb, high protein diet which is what we're suppose to be on so it's perfect.

I pretty much like all the flavors except the cookie dough one.

Thanks I'm always looking for new things to try! I used to like a coconut one they had that was like a mounds bar but it had too much sugar--was probably a "treat" one!

I love the Quest bars myself but like to mix it up!

I'm watching this topic very closely.....BariatricPal is launching our own Bariatric Store within the next few weeks. We plan on stocking every flavor of Quest Protein bars, powders and chips as well as hundreds of other protein, Vitamin and Bariatric products.

I've found some more brands recently that I like. Here is my list of one's worth looking into.

Quest

Combat Crunch (likely my current favorite)

Power Crunch (original, not crisp or choklat)

Some Pure Protein

Premier Protein Fiber Bars

D's Naturals No Cow Bars (only tried one so far, but I liked it)

Some Atkins bars, but most of them I've stayed away from

Chocorite Protein Bars (a lot like Quest, but half the size)

I'm torn on the Krush bars. They are like Quest, but a little blander, even though they have more calories. However, I like the texture a lot... more dense cake like. I've only tried two of the six flavors in my sampler box, though.

Yes I agree, try the combat crunch bars. My husband calls it his candy bar. Peanut Butter cup is our fave with cookie dough coming in second. I also like Quest bars but my husband hates them all except for the s'mores one. I think quest is a little bit cleaner Protein Bar but combat beats it on taste.

I abslutely love Stabilyze Nutrition Bars which I purchased at costco. They do not have quite as much Protein as I would like (11g) but net carbs of 7g and 200 calories make them not too bad. The flavor I am currently enjoying is Dark chocolate Coconut Cashew, a chewy bar wrapped in dark choc.

Ok, so I was at the store today and looked at a couple of the brands yall mentioned and they are really high in carbs...did your nutrionist say you could eat these?

The Atkins bars that I eat are extremely low in carbs and I was told they were good to eat.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
