Yes, I mixed it with Water. I thought I read somewhere that the nectar was acceptable on clears, but I wanted to verify that. I was hoping someone has already asked about it...if not, I'll email Nina to verify it.

VitaLady is a great source but it's kind of expensive, isn't it? Is it cheaper to contact the manufacturer? They have some sort of sample deal they do.

After you decide what you like this is the cheapest place I have found when you figure in shipping:

Netrition.com - The Internet's Premier Nutrition Superstore!

No matter how much you order it's only $4.95 for shipping. I'm waiting for two orders from there myself. Cheaper shipping doesn't help when I forget stuff and have to order twice. ;o)

I am no help with nectar flavors, I'm the rare one that doesn't like any of them.

Yep. You can order the sampler pack from Syntrax directly.

Call 1-866-333-7403 and select customer service (they close at 5pm cst). You can place an order for 10 different flavors of single serve samples for $9.99 (shipping included). It's a great way to try all 10 flavors for $1 a piece. There are so many flavors it is a bit overwhelming. You can order only one per person but can order for different people in the same household. My husband isn't interested but I think I will order a pack for "him" anyway. :001_tongue:

The Peanut Butter and chocolate from the site that WASa gave you is really good. I have a lot of different shake mixes because I like Protein Shakes. The PBchoc. is by far the smoothest. I use the magic bullet on all of them, but some of my other brands still have lumps in them, no matter how long I blend them up.

It makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one! blush.gif I'll definitely have to give the nectar caribbean cooler a try. I also love my Propel strawberry Kiwi waters, so I thought I'd try the nectar in that flavor as well. I'm so hoping to find something I can live with & not gag every time I think about having to drink it!

TennJenn...be careful with propel Water...check the calories...I went to a nutrition class on Saturday, and the instructor was drinking that until her trainer called it "adult koolaid" and looked at the label...25 calories per serving and 2 serving per bottle!!!! She was consuming 300 extra calories just from Propel water!!! Crystal Light has a strawberry kiwi...you may want to try that

The only Propel I've seen lately is Propel Zero - no calories. Since they changed it, I've found it's actually too sweet.

Thanks for the info!! Very helpful. Going to Vitamin Shoppe today to check it out. I'm 1 week post op and I already know I'm going to need a variety so I don't get bored or grossed out with the shakes everyday. I'll let you know what flavors I try. I really want something I could even mix with some Greek yogurt. Has anyone tried that?

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
