Quest Bars

Quest bars are great.  They're the only ones I buy now.  I carry one with me at all times so I don't get too hungry.  When I get too hungry I eat too fast then get sick....  Anyway, I love the new chocolate flavor and the apple pie, but really I think I love these flavors because I was so used to the Almond and Peanut ones (which I still totally love too).  

I'm a RNY and about 8 months post op, and for the early phase of my recovery, I was able to tolerate the bars really well.  They are dense and take a while to eat (thus slowing me down) but they fill me up and stay with me for a couple of hours.  They never made me feel stuck or sick.  At first I only ate a 1/2 bar at a time.  Now I easily can eat a whole bar.  I order a couple of boxes at a time, and keep them in the pantry.  The website and order process is super easy to use, and very reliable.  

I don't have a bar every day, more like every couple of days.  They scratch the "sweet" itch for me, and also the "nutty" itch if you know what I mean.

 I think I'm one of the only people who doesn't like them. I think they taste kind of like dog food. Not that I really know what dog food tastes like....but I think the texture is really weird and cardboardy. And they are bland with an aftertaste.

I agree with the other poster, these bars are really dense. The apple one made me feel sick and sat like a lead weight in my stomach. I tried the peanut butter one today and thought it was good but it was also very dense and sat heavy in my tummy. The apple one I did eat for breakfast and maybe that is why I had a hard time with it because sometimes it is difficult for me to eat first thing in the morning. The peanut butter one I had for lunch today and it went down much better but then again I love peanut butter.

i bought the 5 flavors. i've tried 2 of them
I think I might buy a case of brownies  mmmmm
the apple pie tastes disgusting!
