AnnaLV 32 Posted October 6, 2013 I usually deduct dietary Fiber from carbs to get the net carbs. We are going to have a lot of issues getting enough dietary fiber with our sleeves, so I have no problem with healthy carbs :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NikkiBGood 4 Posted October 6, 2013 My biggest concern is sugar. I was diagnosed pre-diabetic pre-op and that is why I had the surgery. I don't want to make things worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gardengirl 66 Posted October 7, 2013 Agree with glorified candy bars.... that said I do love a Quest bar. I stick with the "natural" ones just because they have a few less calories than the other flavors. My favs are strawberry Cheesecake' date=' Coconut Cashew and chocolate Peanut Butter.[/quote'] Hi! What makes some more natural than others? I'm thinking about ordering some Quest bars...thanks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIJourney 490 Posted October 7, 2013 Hi! What makes some more natural than others? I'm thinking about ordering some Quest bars...thanks!! Sorry can't answer that question. Just noticed when looking at them at GNC the the ones labeled "natural" have 160-170 cals where the others are 190-over 200. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EarthyGoalie 253 Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) I have tried so many, but I found one that is the BEST tasting one... however, other than taste, it has a rather low amount of Protein and high sugar :-/ it's the Honey Nougat from LA Weight Loss. Hard to find if you aren't a member, and on their website, they require you to buy 8 or 16. :-/... but I maintain that taste wise, the BEST I've had... but oh well... sorry can't be of more help.

butterfly_gal 151 Posted October 16, 2013 I love Quest bars and Power Crunch bars. I tend to have quest bars more often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnnaLV 32 Posted October 16, 2013 I ended up buying the variety pack from Quest directly. Much cheaper that way and now I can try every flavor to see what I like. 1 Phillys1stlady reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acubi2 33 Posted October 17, 2013 I like to make my own Quest bars. I have a serious problem with niacin and it is just easier to make my own. Its so much cheaper too! Oh and they are delicious, I wrap mine in wax paper and use one of Targets snack measurement zipper bags and store them in the fridge. http://www.sweetcheetah.com/2013/07/diy-quest-bars.html?m=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
