  1. Thanks, I have, but I'll never pay $42+ just to SHIP a pack of 5... the shipping rates are absolutely ridiculous.

    Honest opinions on Syntrax Nectar?

    I think that's the same number I tried. But the call doesn't connect from in canada.

    Honest opinions on Syntrax Nectar?

    I even tried calling Syntrax directly (the number that I've seen listed over and over that everyone was ordering from) but the call doesnt connect in Canada

    Honest opinions on Syntrax Nectar?

    I've only liked one out of 3 that I've tried so far.. but very interested to try the rest, but I would definitely just use water I think? I went to order them from here again, then it said 50.12US just for shipping to Canada hahah that's crazy!! I found a place in canada, but they dont have grape to try (really wanted that one) and I'm waiting for one more quote from somewhere else, fingers crossed I can get them! I'm closer! just really wanted grape too!

    Honest opinions on Syntrax Nectar?

    I ended up going to a supplement store today and they had a sample station, so I was able to try a couple flavors that they had available. I tried the fuzzy navel, carribean cooler (gross) and strawberry kiwi (gross) haha. I also tried the revolution nutrition candy flavors they had 2 of 4 to sample... so i tried gummy bear and red raspberry. They were sweeter so I added more water to both, and they were honestly both very good. They normally had peach to sample but they were completely sold out. I ended up getting the syntrax nectar in fuzzy navel and revolution nutrition in gummy bear. I also tried a protein pancake mix... and smart sweets protein gummy bears. I am dying to try a few more flavors of the syntrax, but cant find any place in canada to get the sample packets. I would have to drive 2 hours to go pick up the packets in the US. I really wanted to try the ice tea, lemonade, cherry, grapefruit, apple, crystal sky, strawberry, and grape.

    Honest opinions on Syntrax Nectar?

    Thanks I was looking at them and by looking at them, I mean I put allllll the fruit flavored ones in my cart lol. Then saw that it was over 30 just to ship them I'm deciding between those and... https://www.supplementscanada.com/revolution_nutrition_candy_flavour_whey_isolate.html so hard to decide!!!

    Honest opinions on Syntrax Nectar?

    That's awesome, they do sound very good! Wish there were samples I could by in my town
  8. Just wondering if anyone has tried LiquaCel Concentrated Liquid Protein Packs? and if you did, what did you think?
  9. Has anybody tried the Syntrax Nectar or other fruity protein mixes? All of the reviews on websites are all 5 star... looking for real reviews, not paid fake ones. Thanks
  10. I just had the revision from sleeve to bypass for severe GERD on Jan 10th. They also found my stomach in my chest cavity with a huge hernia they did not see after a year of tests. So far so good but I am on a meds for 6 months post op, then I can go off of them
  11. I just had the exact same thing January 10th...too soon out to answer any of those questions though. Good luck
  12. Sorry to hear about your loss But... I had surgery Wed, and left the hospital Friday at lunch... I was out shopping on saturday and Sunday! Complete with gas (I could only get rid of mine while completely laying down, walking did not help this time around) I was fine to go out (on pain meds) at that point I was on oxycodone 10mg every 4 hours and liquid Tylenol. So if yours is Tuesday, you will go home Thursday. It is very possible for you to go on Friday. Pants are not comfortable, even to where im at now 10 days out. What i did when i was out was just wore work out stretchy pants, and rolled the front part down so it was not on my stomach and that was a little more comfortable (wearing a jacket, no one can tell) I even do that with some of my pj pants still oh the liquid diet.... i am dying.... 3 weeks post op (same i had for the sleeve) plus now 2 weeks after surgery (I feel like it was only 1 week post op for the sleeve but i could be wrong, i dont remember...but i feel like the post op was very different.. in terms of what and when) so I am going to stay on liquid until Tuesday.. then go to pureed for 2 weeks! and progress through more stages from there. I dont know what i have a craving for... i know i am looking forward to scrambled eggs but i cant have that until the following week after i start pureed. I am looking forward to chicken for sure... i am dying for a tomato slice (i love tomatoes) or a cesaer salad ... just anything besides, broth, jello, yogurt, oatmeal, cottage cheese and soup... I will not be eating ANY of those foods for a VERY VERY long time after I get through this. I dont have a craving for cake, but i know I will be having something in the near future. My boyfriends birthday is feb, mine is march and our anniversary is also march. So on those occasions I will probably have a little something. In terms of pain meds... I was released on Friday and stopped taking pain meds the following Friday after I got out of the hospital. But I also had the extra work done so i feel like i might have had more pain than others who did not. You've got a couple days to go then it'll all be over! Onwards and upwards! Good luck! Let me know how it goes when you're feeling up to it. And if you really want to attend on Friday, I honestly think it is possible. I was out and about, walking around walmart, grocery stores, shopping for shoes with my bf, and then another store for pants for him... I can't even remember what else, as long as you have your pain meds, you'll be good
