I did the same thing' date=' even threw some strawberries in and pineapple one sip and threw it out blah, what is syntax nectar? [/quote']

I'm drinking Fuzzy Navel Right now. I love it. It tastes a lot like a fuzzy navel without the alcohol. It has a tangy taste, love it. Orange and peachy, mixes easily. I ordered it off Amazon. However if you live near a Vitamin Shoppe, I believe they sell it. They have a bunch of different flavors such as Roadside Lemonade, a tea one, one that taste like coconut, strawberry kiwi, double stuffed cookie, Cappuccino, etc. I read reviews on the different flavors before I ordered and I just ordered another fuzzy navel cuz I'm almost out of the one I have. I definitely love this over the thick, chocolate and vanilla. The nectar's fruity ones aren't thick like the chocolate ones I have. They are thin when drinking. Much like a juice. I drink 1 1/2 servings each day to supplement my Protein intake. I drink it on the way to work, throw it in the fridge for lunch or just sip on it in the morning at work. If it sits for a lite bit before I drink, I give it a little spin to mix it up again. Yum. I'm very happy w it. I think I ordered the lemonade one this time too. If anybody's tried it, let me know how you like it. They have a sample pack you can buy to try 12 flavors out. But I just went with reviews from several websites that sells it.

By the way, no carbs or sugar. 90 calories per 1 scoop serving. and 23g protein. But the fuzzy navel does have a strong taste. It's a keeper for me unless my taste buds change again, lol. Mixed in the blender it gets frothy or foamy, still tastes good. If you let it sit, the frothiness goes away and you're left w a orange drink, looks like orange juice and probably the same strong taste like OJ.

That is probably one of the cheapest websites I found it at.

Awesome I am definitely checking these out. I have a huge container if vanilla Protein Powder left that I could just never choke down. What a waste. The chocolate ones were okay but I got sick if them. Put a scoop in my coffee today for the first time in a while, I have been trying to up Protein since I'm still way under 70g/day.

I've been drinking the Atkins chocolate royal shakes in the morning but I'm pretty much over those too.

I might get the sample pack, but the lemonade sounds good. Especially with warm weather around the corner (hopefully. It's still snowy here in NY)

Fuzzy Navel is my favorite. I also like the Crystal Sky flavor. Best prices were on Amazon. I can not drink the thick chocolate ever again. Two weeks of them pre-op

was all I could take. I never thought I would tire of chocolate. Tastes do change.

My 3 months pics. Hopefully they will come up now. Down to size 14 pant and Large shirt @ 180. I need to add a before pic. But need to search computer. But I'll add it on here when u do.

Oh yeah, I hit a stall. 5 days now :-( I was wondering when it would happen. But I started back at the gym so that's a good thing.

You look great, Gen. No one would guess you have been through all you have. Good job healing and staying focused on your goals. I'm also 3 months out and down to 179, size 14 pants and a M top and am stalled as well. Frustrating. I exercised 3 times today and had more Protein. Hopefully those things will help. Let me know what works for you. Great job so far!

Great job to you as well. I guess our bodies just need a little rest (I hope that's all though).

      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.
