Hello Everyone, What is a good nectar flavor? I have only tried the Fuzzy Navel. What are other menu ideas besides eating it with yogurt?

I had the caribbean cooler flavor for Breakfast and it was good. I'm still on liquids so I am mixing mine with cold Water only right now. I still have other flavors to try as well. I'll post as to how those taste to me as I try them.

So far, I have tried them all but the grapefruit. I have mixed them with Water, milk, almond milk, juice and tea. You can also mix with coffee, but I don't drink coffee. There were none of them that I couldn't drink. I just prefer some over others. My favorites were the lemonade one in Water and the tea one in tea.

I spoke to nutritionist on the phone. I'm over 4 weeks out and I'm still on liquids. I called to beg to be moved to pureed because I'm at a loss on the getting in my shakes. It took me 4 hours to get down the Pure Protein frosty chocolate this morning.

She declined me moving to pureeds until my next appointment on Monday, I was hoping to have some pureed tuna tomorrow.

So I called to order the sampler and nobody answered at Syntrax twice and I looked up Vitamin Shoppe and there is one near me and they sell Syntrax nectar. It's on sale on their website for $33.49, which is $26.00 cheaper than buying it from the company.

The consensus I have read here is the Fuzzy Navel is one of the favorite flavors and I went and picked some up. I really truly hope that it's doable because I am Done..with a capital D of chocolate anything for a while.

I'll let you know how I fair tomorrow.

Wish I had known that bc I ordered from Mybariatricpantry.com and got 11 for 18.95+3.95 shipping + 1 free sample of my choice.

I think I may still call them and do another order that way I have enough for after surgery until I figure out what I want and like. I'm excited to try the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury ones too, specifically the chicken Soup one. My Syntrax will be here on thursday(would have been the 4th but of course it's a holiday lol).

Vitamin Shoppe had different Syntrax nectar 2 lb. tubs on sale for $33.49. Once you decide on a flavor you like. http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/search/controller?N=0&Ntk=SiteSearch&Ntt=syntrax%20nectar&Nty=1&D=syntrax%20nectar&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Dx=mode+matchall

The price at Syntrax is $59.95. http://www.si03.com/shop/shopdisplayproducts.asp

Vitamin Shoppe does not have the variety sampler.

I am drinking the fuzzy navel, I used very cold Water, plus ice cubes and mixed it in my magic bullet. It was very very frothy and I gave it time to rest and now it's more like a drink with a head on it.

I didn't gag, it doesn't have that horrible Protein after-taste. It does have less Protein that the Pure Protein Frosty chocolate that I was drinking. (I used to mix it with skim milk 25 grams plus the skim milk) but I will do a cup of skim milk for a snack at some point which will add more protein.

This is so much more doable than the thick shakes that took me 4 hours to get down fighting as they kept coming back up. Thank goodness. I think I would like to try the tea or Lemonade next.

I tried the Twisted cherry flavor, and used that for quite a while. I also bought the Carribean Cooler and Lemonade flavors, but never even tried them. Sort of kicking myself now, since I am unable to return them :(

I love Syntrax Nectar so much. This is probably my 5th post about it on here. I got the sampler from bariatricchoice.com, and the one for $14 from the company itself. I currently have one tub of vanilla bean torte, one tub of chocolate truffle, and one tub of strawberry mousse. For breakfast I mix one scoop with 4-8oz milk and 8oz Water. I shake it up in my blenderbottle, and that's breakfast!

I will probably get a tub of lemonade to mix with just water.

I ordered some of the sample packs but didn't get the Crystal Blue bc I had no idea what it tasted like. What does it taste like?

Also anyone- does the lemonade taste good and is it thin like lemonade? Not thick like a Protein shake?

Thanks!

I get all mine from bjsbariatrics.com... they are about 6dollars cheaper than anywhere else I've seen.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
