Another vote for Quest bars.

I've held off on buying them before my surgery because I wasn't sure how well I'd do limiting myself to just one at a time. They are that dang good.

I do have a specific favorite flavor, too. It is : all of them !!!

The flavor is so good that you almost don't trust the nutritional label. Great source of Fiber, too.

My fave Protein Bar is Quest! Premier is my favorite Protein Shake but their bars leave a lot to be desired, in my opinion of course. Here are my reasons why, I don't like bars that are coated, I'm not willing to give up almost 300 calories for a bar, prefer to keep my sugar at 6g or less and you can't make warm and delicious Cookies with them. Yep, I said cookies. One Bar makes 4 - 2" cookies. I tear them, place on a paper plate and microwave for 20 seconds. Sometimes I sprinkle a lil Splenda if they have chocolate chunks in them to sweeten them up. Here are 16 different flavors:

  • Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Cookies & Cream, Double Chocolate Chunk, Chocolate Brownie,
  • White Chocolate Raspberry, Cinnamon Roll Flavor, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Coconut Cashew,
  • Strawberry Cheesecake, Apple Pie, vanilla Almond Crunch, Peanut Butter Supreme,
  • Banana Nut Muffin, Peanut Butter & Jelly, Mixed berry Bliss, Lemon Cream Pie
Here's the nutrition info using the Chocolate/Peanut Butter bars in each brand:

QUEST

Calories: 160

Total Fat 5g

Sat Fat 1g

Trans Fat 0g

Cholesterol 5mg

Sodium 240mg

Potassium 200mg

Total Carbs 25g

Dietary Fiber 17g

Sugars 2g

Erythritol 5g

Protein 20g

PREMIER

Calories: 280

Total Fat 7g

Sat Fat 3.5g

Trans Fat 0g

Cholesterol 10mg

Sodium 420mg

Potassium 190mg

Total Carbs 23g

Dietary Fiber 1g

Sugars 8g

Protein 30g

I hope you find one (or many) that you love!

Some of the Quest bars have the sugar alcohol that makes me very sick, also yes it is more sugar but as double of protein, usually is my lunch. I have to say that I'm getting tired of Protein Bars or shakes. I just wish I could eat " normal" food and still meet my protein goal.

Thought about y'all this morning as I took that first bite of my 1/2 Quest Cinnamon Roll Protein bar warm and tasty (sprinkled lightly with Splenda) out of the microwave ... Super Yum :P

Quest changed their recipe and now I am devastated.

I like Quest bars, too. I like Choc Chip Cookie Dough and Raspberry white chocolate. If you go to GNC and join their discount program for $20 you can get a box of 12 for $25.

It was changed this month. I am so incredibly sad. They keep saying it is for the better. But the ingredient change is not for the better and I am so sad. I don't want corn in my Quest bars. If I wanted corn anything I would just eat corn :-(

It's less Fiber and less healthy

Hmmmm I might actually like the change. The old fiber in them was HIGHLY processed chemically:

http://blog.fooducate.com/2013/12/30/are-quest-bars-really-as-nutritious-as-claimed/

And the source of the big lawsuit:

So I'm game for the change.

Thank you for the info. I have much more reading to do. The taste is growing on me. But I am still very sad that my old ones are gone.

I haven't tasted the new formulas yet so I may be sad too after all. The two newest flavors (mint choc and s'mores) have always had the corn fiber but they've never been my favorites because they are the "crumbly" kind for want of a better word, like the Cookies and Cream ones and I prefer the smoother tootsie roll textured ones so time will tell!

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
