Anyone tried this stuff?

BSN Lean Dessert Protein powder? Anyone? Its not a bad price and their flavors sound good. But at the end of the days it still a Protein Powder, so I'd love some input from anyone that has tried it.

Also, what is your favorite Syntax nectar flavor?

I actually had some of the chocolate Fudge pudding flavor mixed with skim and a few frozen strawberries for Breakfast today and it was de-vine!

I have the fuzzy navel flavor of the nectar which is good but I have a hard time mixing it with anything but oj. Mixing it in Water makes it taste like tang. Oj + nectar + frozen strawberries = nummy but easily tiresome (at least for me).

Hope this helps!

I haven't tried any of that stuff. The shakes make me sick on my stomach because of the consistancy...this a pre-surgery issue. I've been going to The Vitamin Shoppe and Vitamin World and gettting their Potein drinks that are like Gatorade. I really like them and they are a great option if you are sick of shakes. They can get expensive, but if you get a membership card to either of those stores you automatically get a discount from that point on.

I got a sample pack of Syntrax Nectar and I hate them! Maybe mixed with juice they would be better, but mixed with Water thay are horrible! I was so disappointed because they sounded like a good alternative to always drinking the other kinds of shakes.

I did like the cappuchino and vanilla creme flavors that were sent with the fruit flavored shakes.

I'm with you. I too, ordered the sample pack. Couldn't stand any of them.

I had a sample of this in the Peanut Butter and banana flavour, it just about made me vomit. It was really thick and gluggy and hideously sweet. I cannot for the life of me see the point of making a supposed "health supplement" taste so sweet.

I dont like Protein shakes as a general rule though, apart from one Musashi one you can get here, which I will very occasionally have for Breakfast.< /p>

I got two samples of the Lean Dessert with my Bariatric Eating sample pack. My husband tried the chocolate coconut one and said it was nasty. I haven't gotten the courage up to eat the cinnamon roll one yet. I hope it's not as bad as he made it out to be, because that sounds like a flavor that has a lot of potential.

I like the cinnamon roll and the banana nut bread. Vita coast has the best price.. like 14 bucks for a 18 scoop container. I love them... But some of the other flavors I tried are nasty... they seem bitter... I would go to Bariatric Eating and buy the sample pack.. they send me a ton of flavors to try...

I have the cinnamon roll. It is ok. Everyone's taste is different. I use more milk or Water if it seems too thick or sweet also crushed or shaved ice helps. I agree with getting the samples, if you can find them. Some people on here love the Protein Shakes that I hate and vice versa.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
