Hello, I purchased the1 oz packets of nectar, I am truly confused the packet states 4 servings do I mix it in my 16 oz Water bottles, sometimes I use the 20 oz bottles of water? Do I pour the whole packet into my water bottle? It is truly unclear to me! TIA

Hi SlimChickadee,

I was just reading about these the other day, and I was looking into trying them. From what I understand for every 2-4 oz of Water you mix in a quarter of the pouch. Maybe start with 2 oz per quarter packet and see if it is too sweet/strong and add more if needed.

So, some people may use 1 entire pouch with 8 oz of water, and others might get 16 oz out of it depending how sweet/ strong you like it.

To get the 23 grams of Protein, you would need to drink the entire pouch.

Let me know if you ended up liking it! What flavor did you try?

I was thinking of trying tge lemonade, iced tea and crystal sky. I also bought the GENEPRO, but have only tried it in sugarfree Jello, so far. I dis order the bariatric pal Fruit Drinks. I wonder if they are similar to the nectar drinks. I only tried pineapple orange from the multi pack. It was pretty good, a nice change from the Protein Shakes.

I've never understood why Syntrax breaks it up like that because for most of us, the whole packet (or scoop if you get the tub of it), is 100 calories/20-ish grams of Protein, which is a typical serving. Maybe they mean that for people who are super early out and can only drink a couple of ounces at a time? I honestly have no idea.

it doesn't matter how much Water you add - 8 oz or 16 oz or whatever. I often added more water during the early weeks because otherwise the taste was too intense for me. It didn't change the amount of protein grams I was getting - just the amount of fluids - so it counted toward me daily required Fluid intake.

I use nectar. My dr. And dietitian recommends 12 once fat free fairlife milk and 2 scoops. That would be to packs of the sample. It equals to 66g protien. I don't care for most of the flavors so I also use biohealth pasture feed isolate. And diesel. I also mix it up one scoop of banana cream and one scoop of chocolate peanutbutter. And then add my bene Fiber and 2 spoons of powdered peanut butter20210719_172722.jpg 20210719_172707.jpg 20210719_172713.jpg

      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.
