Pre-op, yes. If you have to do a liquid diet two weeks pre-op then you can eat them until that point. Post op - no, not until you are allowed back on a full solids diet. Which, depending on your surgeon could be one month or several months!

My biggest issue with the bars is that a lot of them are full of sugar/carbs, so you really have to eyeball the labels!

I would say go ahead and try them. Can't hurt, especially if you are not getting all your Protein in. If you have more questions, talk to your NUT, he or she can clarify!

Quest bars, best ever.

Quest bars are the best.....

No sugar. They are made with Stevia.

Low carbs.

Protein is either 20 or 21 grams.

High in Fiber.< /p>

Come in many flavors.

They were approved by my nutritionist.

Mine, too! I love cookies&cream and apple pie flavors. Also, because they're not covered in chocolate like so many bars, they can be kept in my car and purse for those times when I need a little something to tide me over till I can get a real meal. :-)

Hands down the Quest bars rock! I bought a sample pack to see what I liked and I liked the majority of them.

I'll back Quest bars as well. Bake a cookie dough one in the oven for 5 mins and its like a fresh baked cookie. Or bake a brownie one and top it with a little cool whip. Heaven!

Cookies and cream, apple pie, and pb&j i like just on their own.

I didn't know about heating up the Cookies and cream @ betty_s that sounds good...warm is always more satisfying... So I am here to agree with Quest bars...also have had Power Crunch which have a lighter texture if you find the Quest too much...usually 1/2 a Quest bar at a time fills you up... but check with your Dr or NUT (as suggested) to make sure you can have them ... they may want you to wait or a certain brand...

Just learned from this site this week about Quest bars. I'm pre-op. Found some on base at Vitamin World. I bought White chocolate and Raspberry and the Chocolate Brownie. I tried the brownie yesterday and immediately decided I can easily do without sugar in my diet! These things are awesome.

My favorites are apple pie, chocolate chip, and Oreo cookie. :-)

Where do you find Quest bars? Interested in trying. I usually do Protein drinks from costco

They always seem to agree with me and have 30 grams of Protein

I buy mine from nutrition stores in MA. When I visited my son in California a couple months ago I found them at his favorite nutrition store, too, so they seem widely available. You can also buy them online. :-)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
