I've heard several people talk about Syntrax Nectar but really want to get opinions before I order the sample packets. How do they taste? Aftertaste? How do most of you use it, with Water or do u mix it into ur yogurts and other foods? Tired of spending money on Protein I can't tolerate.... Thanks!

The only flavor I find worthwhile is Roadside Lemonade. At first it's not good, but it sort of grows on me. By the time I'm near the end, I would describe it as "lemon cream." I mix it in Water and add in SF lemonade drink mix. I've also used it with lemon zest, lemon extract, and lemon juice to make lemon Protein Powder ice cream, which tastes exactly like drinking the Protein Drink with the lemon kicked up a notch, except their tolerability is directly proportional to their temperature (the colder they are, the easier they go down).

BTW if you have a local support group through your surgeon or a hospital, see if you can go. They often do Protein swaps where person 1 brings in 10 or 15 "samples" of their favorite, person 2 does with theirs, etc. and you swap. It's a great way to sample a LOT of Proteins without having to commit to a large quantity of any of it.

I have used the Roadside Lemonade and the fuzzy navel. Both I mix 1 scoop with about 8-12 oz Water, a glass full of ice, and 1 pack of crystal light lemonade or other flavor. I mix this in my blender to make a slushy and thing it tasts fine.

I use three flavors of nectar protein: Fuzzy Navel, vanilla Bean Torte and chocolate Truffle. I use them when I make a smoothie in the morning. The Fuzzy navel is great with any flavor of fruit. I also use the vanilla flavor when I need to put Protein in something cold (pudding, overnight oatmeal). I don't get a bad aftertaste at all. I think the nectar Protein is by far the best tasting powdered protein mix.

I recently bought these and have tried the Roadside Lemonade and caribbean cooler so far. Both were DELISH! I mixed them with Water and ice and put them in my magic bullet to make a slushie. LOVED THEM! Can't wait to try the other flavors. Don't think I can go back to the boring vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry that I had been drinking. I've also just read that some people use frozen fruit in place of ice, will be trying that after my next grocery run.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
