I've been researching and I'm finding a discrepancy in grams of Protein per serving. The canisters say the same thing but when I compare the labels some have 6grams of protein and others have 25 grams per serving. Is some specially formulated for WLS patients? I was just trying to find the best price. What is the difference? Anyone know?

You're finding a discrepancy between the Syntrax nectar? I've tried all of the Syntrax Nectar flavors and I remember them all having about 23g of protein.

http://www.mybariatricpantry.com/SYNTRAX_NECTAR_APPLE_ECSTASY_p/nectar-apple_ecstasy.htm Yes like this one for instance says 6 grams Protein. I'm so confused. Lol

Check the serving size. I think my canisters list the serving size as 1/4 of a scoop with 6g protein...which means 24g for a whole scoop. I don't know why they do it that way...seems weird to me, since I always use a whole scoop & I assume most other folks do, too.

Im loving the Syntrax Nectar in the vanilla Bean Torte. Taste really matters to me so Ill sacrifice a couple of grams of Protein for the taste. 23 or 25, makes no difference to me because to me its still a good amount to get in one meal. I have a shake for Breakfast then I have the rest of the day to make up the rest of my protein grams. We are going on vacation next week and I just picked up a 12 pack of single servings of the Syntrax at Vitamin Shoppe. That way I dont have to worry about getting my morning protein :) Thinking ahead is the best thing for me.

You know what I'm such a ditz! Lol I just realized the difference. It's bc some bottles say 1/4 scoop. I just seen where it says a whole scoop for 23 grams.

Thanks! Lol I feel like such an idiot! When I went back and looked I noticed that. In my defense I'm on my iPhone and I didn't magnify the whole label at first. Ha ha.

Sorry about that. Lol.

Sorry about that. Lol.

No worries, I had forgotten about that. Like southernsoul, I use an entire scoop for 8oz of Water.

I'm an avid planner so that will be me too! I haven't even met with surgeon yet and I'm already researching all this stuff. I can't sit idle and wait. I have to look up stuff. Lol hopefully this will be a good thing and I will be successful after surgery.

Also, on the Syntrax website you can order a sample pack of flavors. It's 12 packs for $12, plus about $2 shipping. I love the vanilla bean torte & chocolate truffle, but wanted to play around with the fruit flavors before buying a big tub. I had to end up emailing them to get the sample pack, as the phone number went to voice mail, but that might have just been a hitch on that day.

Here's the website: http://www.si03.com/medical/med_index.htm

Thanks! Someone else mentioned the sample pack as well. I'm defiantly going to order one of those before buying a big tub.

Look at the differences between serving sizes. 6 gms sounds like 1/4th of the packet of Syntrax which is a fourth of the serving.

No problem!

I wish I could give you all mine. I have the unflavored, Cookies, chocolate, and vanilla. Post-op I cannot do these. So I have 4 new ones (ran out the week before surgery) and I'm so ticked I just can't throw them away.

Edited: 4 newly opened ones

        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
