My nutrition packet from my doctor states that Syntrax Nectar is considered a clear liquid, and that I should order some for post-op. Where is a good place to order the variety pack? I'm trying to find a good price.

ALSO... Has anyone tried the Isopure clear drinks that come already bottled?

You can find nectar on Amazon. And keep in mind, you can add Mio/Crystal Light drops to these to alter the flavors. We added Tropical Coconut drops to the Fuzzy Navel nectar and it was yummy.

@@HuneComz I found them on Amazon, but the variety pack is overpriced!


Oh that's a good idea to add something!

@@heidikat72 It's more expensive than the Amazon one! LOL. I'm being picky because I'm cheap. :P

It's going to be expensive when you buy a variety pack of individual serving pouches. The Amazon price is probably the cheapest you will find.

I relied on the Isopure RTDs after surgery as the regular Protein drinks were just too thick and sweet for me.

A lot of people don't like them, and truth be told, they smell awful. But I found them better than the shakes until I could get my Protein from food/homemade shakes. I also hated Protein powder.

I preferred the Syntrax over the Isopure hands down. I got the variety pack here at BP's store, I'm pretty sure. I don't remember if I found the variety pack on Amazon or not. I got several things here and several at Amazon, wherever was the best price and availability. I did the variety packs for several brands, and it was the best way to go about it, even though it was a large cash outlay.

@@theantichick Yeah I'll probably do more sample packs here later! Have you tried Millie's Sipping broth?

I have been getting Protein from various sources. Premier (which I agree is sickening-sweet) packs a punch of Protein so I have been trying to have one every other day. I have seen Walgreens carries flavor enhancers for Protein shakes but I haven't bought any.

I prefer Fairlife milk as my #1 choice for Liquid Protein - it's 13 grams of protein per one serving (8 oz) and if you like milk - it's delicious. I mix 3/4 cup skim to 1/4 cup chocolate. It is also lactose free.

I also found Atkins Lift bottled 'water' at Big Lots (not sure this store exists everywhere) for $2 for a 4-pack - one bottle is 20 grams of protein. I don't love these, but it's something different from the milks and shakes.< /p>

I have sampled all the Isopure flavors and the only one I can stomach is the orange. Key is to drink it really cold or make popscicles out of it.

@@HuneComz We definitely have Big Lots here in TX. What does the Atkins Water taste like?

I ordered the variety pack from here and I hate it. I add it to Water and it's thick and gritty. I definitely prefer Isopure. The grape and green apple are pretty good.

Head to the nectar company website which is http://si03.com

From there hover your mouse over the "Monthly Special" don't click it just hover.

You will then see a number and extension to call. This will allow you to order ALL 15 flavors they have to offer for only $15 plus $1.99 shipping! You can not beat 15 pack variety for $16.99 total.

I was buying the samples from Vitamin Shoppe and it was $2 for each but they had a VERY limited supply. I just placed my order for this today and was told to expect my package with tracking within 10 days because of the holiday.

Keep in mind this is a ONE TIME per address :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
