Torani Sugar Free Syrup comment & question



Recommended Posts

So my wife knew I was getting beyond frustrated with my Protein Shakes and picked me up some Torani sugar free English Toffee Syrup for me today to try. Wow what a difference it made, I added it to my Unjury Classic chocolate shake and loved it. Not only did it taste great, for some reason the shake was so much easier to drink and never felt pressure with it going down. I still paced myself since my Dr. requires an 8oz shake to take at least an hour to finish but I for once I did not have the "How am I going to finish this shake feeling!" It made it feel like Water was going down if that made sense.

So has any members on here tried these and if so, any other flavors you would recommend? Also how much do you use for a 8oz shake? Also being they are sugar free, fat free and made with splenda is there any reason why we could not add these to our shakes? I will ask my NUT when I see her next week. I am 17 days post-op and at the pureed stage of the diet. Unfortunately I wish I had found this when I was doing two/three shakes a day for last month. I would highly recommend to anybody have issues getting down their shakes, to ask their NUT if it is ok to add it. I can't wait to be able to add banana to my shakes but not for another month I was told.

Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions!!

Can I please borrow your wife? I don't see why it would be a problem and I'm going to look for it. I'm just done with shakes and I force them down. A new flavor would be heaven.

I use caramel in a chocolate shake. I also have vanilla and hazelnut. Haven't used the hazelnut yet. They make shakes so much better I wish I knew about them when I was on liquid stage.

its important to find a shake you like and can repeat. i lived off of the Syntrax fuzzy navel in the summer and warm weather along with the syntrax Cappuccino, blended with ice and some skim milk for that iced coffee in the morning thing. sometimes half cappuccino half chocolate. at 8 months i switched to the syntrax matrix Cookies and cream for the mug-cakes because its sort of like a pancake thing in the morning ( i was a big donut guy and this gives me that fix) so its very important to find what works for you!

I'm 2 years out and I have always used Torani and Davinci syrups to flavor my shakes, plain Greek yogurt, coffee and hot chocolate. I have caramel, French vanilla, hazelnut, almond, Irish cream, English toffee, peppermint, pumpkin, gingerbread, raspberry and tiramisu in my cupboard right now.

I got a s'mores flavor, I love it. I have the vanilla too but usually reach for the s'mores first.

I want to try the cookie dough one. I haven't found it in stores, so I guess I should order it online.

Trust me the Syrup makes a huge difference and I called my NUT this morning and she said therefore fine to add. LMK if you try it!

I wish I did as well, hazelnut sounds yummy as well. I am trying the Salted Caramel today!

Pre-O I Loved all the syntax shakes, post-op I have not be able to get down any of the five types I had in the house. It was so disappointing to me since they were my staple before surgery.

Trying it today, Cant wait!!

Thanks for the suggestion about trying it yogurt since I loved yogurt pre-op and the texture of it now makes me not want to eat it! Peppermint and Almond sound great!

Ok so I obviously need to get Peppermint & Almond since those are my favorite flavors in general. Thanks for the reply.

      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.
