Hello Everyone, What is a good nectar flavor? I have only tried the Fuzzy Navel. What are other menu ideas besides eating it with yogurt?

I had the caribbean cooler flavor for Breakfast and it was good. I'm still on liquids so I am mixing mine with cold Water only right now. I still have other flavors to try as well. I'll post as to how those taste to me as I try them.

So far, I have tried them all but the grapefruit. I have mixed them with Water, milk, almond milk, juice and tea. You can also mix with coffee, but I don't drink coffee. There were none of them that I couldn't drink. I just prefer some over others. My favorites were the lemonade one in Water and the tea one in tea.

I spoke to nutritionist on the phone. I'm over 4 weeks out and I'm still on liquids. I called to beg to be moved to pureed because I'm at a loss on the getting in my shakes. It took me 4 hours to get down the Pure Protein frosty chocolate this morning.

She declined me moving to pureeds until my next appointment on Monday, I was hoping to have some pureed tuna tomorrow.

So I called to order the sampler and nobody answered at Syntrax twice and I looked up Vitamin Shoppe and there is one near me and they sell Syntrax nectar. It's on sale on their website for $33.49, which is $26.00 cheaper than buying it from the company.

The consensus I have read here is the Fuzzy Navel is one of the favorite flavors and I went and picked some up. I really truly hope that it's doable because I am Done..with a capital D of chocolate anything for a while.

I'll let you know how I fair tomorrow.

Wish I had known that bc I ordered from Mybariatricpantry.com and got 11 for 18.95+3.95 shipping + 1 free sample of my choice.

I think I may still call them and do another order that way I have enough for after surgery until I figure out what I want and like. I'm excited to try the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury ones too, specifically the chicken Soup one. My Syntrax will be here on thursday(would have been the 4th but of course it's a holiday lol).

Vitamin Shoppe had different Syntrax nectar 2 lb. tubs on sale for $33.49. Once you decide on a flavor you like. http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/search/controller?N=0&Ntk=SiteSearch&Ntt=syntrax%20nectar&Nty=1&D=syntrax%20nectar&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Dx=mode+matchall

The price at Syntrax is $59.95. http://www.si03.com/shop/shopdisplayproducts.asp

Vitamin Shoppe does not have the variety sampler.

I am drinking the fuzzy navel, I used very cold Water, plus ice cubes and mixed it in my magic bullet. It was very very frothy and I gave it time to rest and now it's more like a drink with a head on it.

I didn't gag, it doesn't have that horrible Protein after-taste. It does have less Protein that the Pure Protein Frosty chocolate that I was drinking. (I used to mix it with skim milk 25 grams plus the skim milk) but I will do a cup of skim milk for a snack at some point which will add more protein.

This is so much more doable than the thick shakes that took me 4 hours to get down fighting as they kept coming back up. Thank goodness. I think I would like to try the tea or Lemonade next.

I tried the Twisted cherry flavor, and used that for quite a while. I also bought the Carribean Cooler and Lemonade flavors, but never even tried them. Sort of kicking myself now, since I am unable to return them :(

I love Syntrax Nectar so much. This is probably my 5th post about it on here. I got the sampler from bariatricchoice.com, and the one for $14 from the company itself. I currently have one tub of vanilla bean torte, one tub of chocolate truffle, and one tub of strawberry mousse. For breakfast I mix one scoop with 4-8oz milk and 8oz Water. I shake it up in my blenderbottle, and that's breakfast!

I will probably get a tub of lemonade to mix with just water.

I ordered some of the sample packs but didn't get the Crystal Blue bc I had no idea what it tasted like. What does it taste like?

Also anyone- does the lemonade taste good and is it thin like lemonade? Not thick like a Protein shake?

Thanks!

I get all mine from bjsbariatrics.com... they are about 6dollars cheaper than anywhere else I've seen.

      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!

        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.
