Syntrax Nectar Reviews
Soapandcandlequeen replied to thelakeisgone's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have had trouble mixing with water. The taste is not really tolerable. I really never have milk but it's the only thing I can tolerate. I am going to try mixing half milk half water to see if that helps minimize my calories -
Okay, HOW can we gain it all back?

Syntrax Nectar Reviews
Soapandcandlequeen replied to thelakeisgone's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just tried mint cookie and it tastes like a girl scout thin mint cookie. I mixed it with milk. Tried roadside lemonade and it's ok. Taste is good but i hate the weird protein smell. If you can get away with not smelling it Its ok -
I need to VENT!

I just had my hysterectomy and the gas pain was the worst. Get up to walk as much as you can and get gas x strips. They were a lifesaver. -
Pre-Op Tests
Soapandcandlequeen replied to tappingmom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It just depends on your health issues and your doctor. I had echo, x-rays, blood tests, upper gi, sleep labs, colonoscopy, ekg and I am sure I am forgetting something lol. -
Did anyone loose weight on their pre-op diet
Soapandcandlequeen replied to jabez's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been doing protein liquid twice a day and a meal at night. I feel like I have lost but the scale isn't moving. Frustrating -

Soapandcandlequeen replied to Elizabeth21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Great comments. I think the advice to seek couceling is a great idea. I know for me my biggest worry is gaining weight back. I think that is normal considering I have done so many diets and not been successful keeping weight off. I also know this process to get surgery is a lot to go through. Especially the expense. I would never want to go back or regress. -
Chike high protein coffee drink - YUM
Soapandcandlequeen replied to Bluesea71's topic in Food and Nutrition
Thank you bluesea71! Good advice for sure. I agree too with this being one that has no after taste. I have hated some of these shakes flavor but this one is awesome. Also thank you for earning on the calories. -
BE HONEST SLEEVERS, did anyone think okay they are going to cut half of my stomach off and the weight will just fall off?
Soapandcandlequeen replied to tamelntre's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Sometimesxslower weight loss had its benefits. Your body has time to adjust. Eventually it will all even out -
Chike high protein coffee drink - YUM
Soapandcandlequeen replied to Bluesea71's topic in Food and Nutrition
I just tried click and Love it. You can add it with milk for a little protein boost or add 2 scoops. Also a scoop of unflavored might work. I have not tried this brand but it sounds great -
I have a million samples and I am going through them everyday trying to find a few I like too. So far I like click mocha and vanilla latte. They make It in decaf. It has 15 grams of protein which is on the light side but I mixed it with milk and it was fantastic. I also had the syntax nectar sweets double stuff cookie. That was super good too. I am not a fan of the syntax grape...horrible. Go to my bariatric pantry . You can order a lot of samples there. Good luck

Can I do it? These liver shakes sound gross....
Soapandcandlequeen replied to VancouverGirl72's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That does not sound fun at all. I am doing breakfast and lunch shakes to get myself adapted to them and just a light dinner. Do the best you can. -
