I am still tyring to find a Protein I like. Does anyone know how much shipping is for samples from Vitalady.com & about how long it takes to receive them? We are leaving in one week for surgery & I'd love to be able to order some full sizes before leaving.

Also, any suggestions on which nectar flavors to try?

They are on my approved clears list.

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:

Thanks, Linda. I definitely want to try more flavors. That's a great way to try them all. :tongue_smilie:

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! 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

Mybariatricpantry.com has a 10pk samples of nectar for $18.99

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?

hello, i am soon to have my gastric bypass surgery and the office staff suggested that I reach out and request free samples of Protein powders and products to see what I will like do to high costs,

I look forward to hearing from you, Tammie
