I wasnt enamored with them, personally, i truly love the Syntrax products my whole office is drinking them now. I use the Cappuccino with 6 oz of skim milk and a few ice cubes, blended it makes a coolatta like drink, which is great in this warmer weather.

The fuzzy navel , and others are amazing as well. Especially if you like half and half aka arnold palmers, you can mix the lemonade flavor in with the iced tea flavor and Water and ice cubes and bingo. or if your allowed use unsweetened iced tea with the lemonade mix or crystal light lemonade with the iced tea flavored, and you have great drinks.

You can watch my taste tests in the video section here on Bariatricpal as well.

I will soon be doing videos of their new all natural line of Protein shake mixes soon, as they are sending me out some to taste test as well.

I tried the Syntrax fuzzy navel. It seemed to separate a lot with the powder sitting on the bottom of the bottle. I mixed it with Water. How do you make yours. I tried the vanilla bean torte the other day and it was really good. I used unsweetened almond milk and ice in the blender. I also like the chocolate. I need to try the Cappuccino flavor. I just hate to buy another whole tub of something and not like it. The Vitamin shope has the single packets of the vanilla and chocolate so I was able to try them without getting the whole tub.

Even with the fuzzy navel if youre using the shaker type cup you ned to shake it well, i prefer it in the blender, i use like 6 oz of Water for a full scopp for the fruit flavored Nectars and 5 to 6 ounces of 1% or skim milk , or unsweetened almond milk with the sweets. I do reccomend the packets. Syntrax website which is www.si03.com does have the 15.99 special for the sample kit, which is almost all the flavors in individual packets. I liked them all some more than others, except the crystal sky, that was just weird, it was bright blue and well, i couldnt tell what flavor it was just kind of a mix. lol

But i recomend any of them with ice, and when/if you ever want to add fruit, mango, and raspberries and strawberries all work great int he fuzzy navel .

I just tried the orange cream flavor and it's sooooo good!! This is the 1st Meal Replacement shake that I actually enjoy. I just thought I'd share.

How did u mix it, what did you use?

I found that it was too thick.

Bariatric Advantage is thick--that's why I love it--especially the Orange Cream! I dislike the thin brands (Syntrax is HORRID to me)! To each his own. You've got to see which one is the best for you!

I agree with you. That's what I like about Bariatric Advantage it's the only shake I've tried that's thick. The orange cream tastes just like a orange julius to me. Yummy!

Funny - I had the chocolate and hated the taste but my kids liked it so I told them to have it and I switched over to the Premier chocolate and it was more tolerable.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      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.
