Unjury or Syntrax Nectar



Recommended Posts

I have a long list of Protein supplements that I need to take- but the nutritionist recommended these two as being the best. I don't trust her because she's skinny :unsure: Has anyone tried these before I purschase them? Which flavors are the best?

She recommended I add 1 scoop of strawberry Sorbet Unjury to 8oz of fruit flavored Crystal Light Sunrise Classic Orange or Raspberry Ice. I love Crystal Light so that shouldn't be a problem as long as the Unjury isn't horrible.

She also said I could add Choc. or Van. Unjury into skim milk- has anyone tried any of these and what's it like?

They said I only have to do the diet for 1 week if my BMI is less than 45-which it is. I think I can survive 1 week.

Did anyone order them online? How long does ittake to get delivered and is it delivered in a private sort of package?

Thanks for all the input!

I hadnt tried the strawberry unjury, but I love the vanilla and chocolate ones. The chocolate when mixed with milk tastes like chocolate milk to me which I love. Everyones taste is different though. A lot of people like the Bariatric Advantage, I tried it and thought it was horrible. If you go to the Unjury site they have atrial box with 2 chocolates, 2 vanilla, 2 strawberry, and 2 chicken Soup flavor packets, Aldo comes with a meat thermometer and a bottle to mix

the shakes in. Thats what I got at first. The chicken Soup flavor is the only Protein I got during clear liquid stage and it wasn't bad.

As for they syntax nector, I never tried it, so I can't advise on that

I have had both. I liked the unjury chocolate mixed with milk. I only use the Syntrax nectar powders now for all my Protein shakes. I prefer mixing the fruit flavored ones with Crystal Light to enhance the flavor. The chocolate Truffle is my Breakfast staple. I have also added mints, ice, and sf no-fat choc fudge pudding mix to make a Mint Chocolate Protein shake. Great stuff. I'd advise having a good blender though to mix things properly. I have a Vitamix and it works great.

Favorites:

Chocolate Truffle

Roadside Lemonade - w/ Rasperry Lemonade Crystal Light

Twisted cherry - w/ Cherry Pomengranate Crystal Light

I was also going to suggest that you get the sample box from Unjury. This will give you a chance to try the different flavors before you commit to buying a large quanitity. One of my favorite drinks during my pre-op phase was the strawberry Unjury added to Crystal Light lemonade...it tastes like strawberry lemonade and was a nice break from all of the vanilla and chocolate Protein Shakes (which can be a bit much after a while). I didn't like the Unjury chicken Soup Protein Powder because it lumps up if you heat it too much and I don't like lukewarm soup (the taste was good, just couldn't handle the temperature).

I have not tried Unjury, but I am actually sipping on a Syntrax Nectar right now. I like the Roadside Lemonade and the Pink Grapefruit flavors. I have also tried Fuzzy Navel (which is more peach than orange, so if you like peach, you may like this) and vanilla Torte, which I thought was nasty. I think if you order nectar online it's around $25 but if you get it at Vitamin Shoppe you can return it if you don't like it. It's around $35 at Vitamin Shoppe, but for me it was worth it because I returned both the Fuzzy Navel (too peachy for me) and the Vanilla and got the Pink Grapefruit and Lemonade. Good Luck!

I've ordered the sample packs from both unjury and nectar....

Unjury chocolate and vanilla, I mix either with skim milk or almond milk and it tastes like a milkshake.

I've had a few of the nectar flavors, mixed with Water, and they're ok....I need to find more ways to drink those samples...

I've also ordered the sample pack from "The Incredible chocolate Milk Diet" powders and like them...

All 3 orders online came in within a week. Fast shipping, I thought.

Good luck!

let me know what you find!

I picked up the Nectar- Twisted cherry yesterday and I'm in love with it. I shop at the Vitamin Shoppe which carries 8 different flavors an I will eventualy try all of them because they are garanteed and if I don't like it I can switch for another flavor and it mixes well with a spoon and Water. The next flavor I want to try is the Choc. Truffel I've heard a few people rave about the Choc Truffel. I would also like to try the Vanilla wafer flavor mixed with the Twisted Cherry, I bet that would be good. Also I only paid $35.00 for a 2lb container. Make sure you pruchase it at a Vitamin shop that garenties the product.

I use unjury. Yes - order the sample box and try them mixed with different things. I think if you go to the Unjury website there is a place that lists "recipes" and different ways to use the Protein mix.

I am a picky eater - the only flavors I use are strawberry and Chocalate. I mix the strawberry with Water and add Lemonade Crytal light. The chocolate I mix with skim milk. I am almost a year out now and am tight in the am making it difficult to eat solids first thing in the am - I still drink a shake every morning as my Breakfast - keeps me feeling "full" till lunch.

I order my supply from Unjury - easy to order online. It is around $60 (including shipping) for 3 containers - they are delivered in an unmarked box. My doctor carries it also but charges $24 for a container and the hospital pharmacy carries it also but charges $32 for a container.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
