Got My Sample Pack Of Syntrax Nectar



Recommended Posts

I also have the personal blender with the cup from Oster. I have one for work and one for home. They come in cool colors (green, blue, orange). I let it run for at least a minute and it makes a slushie. I use the plastic straws that go with the insulated cups with lids and they are yummy. Syntrex necter is the best!

Yea it works pretty good for the price! I always have a few little pieces of Ice but just a few so no big deal.

i have tried 3 different Syntrax nectar and neither mixed very well, not even in my personal blender. i had lemonade for lunch today and could not finish it because of the lumps....DISGUSTING!!! i even put my cup back on the blender and blended some more...still had lumps. i used cold bottled Water. any tips? has anyone else had this problem?

i tried the lemonade today as well. the face i made was just like the one i get when I drink vodka....that one is a no go.

I just placed an order for 2 of the nectar sample packs. Hopefully I will like some of the flavors, I am not big on most fruit flavored shakes. I am hoping the cappuccino is good so it can replace my coffee.< /p>

I need to order the Unjury chicken and unflavored, Have Protein for the clear diet, I have two weeks of that after surgery. Have any of you tried those yet? How long does it take to receive the shipment?

I hope you are able to stomach the Unjury better than I. I tried only the chicken and the vanillia, Both were bad enough to gag a maggot in my opinion and way more went down the drain than down my throat.

After two years, I still start almost every day with a Protein coffee or tea mixed with vanilla bean torte or chocolate truffle from Syntrax nectar. I use a shaker cup and the only time I have lumps is when my liquid is too cold. It mixes great with hot, warm, room temp or cool liquids - not icy cold ones.

I have an entire sample pack of the About Time shakes and I hate them. I was excited at first because of the healthier ingredients but I find the taste lacking.

I am not a fan of the fruity shakes - not even the nectar ones.

Keep trying things until you like them! I changed "favorite" Protein Shakes about four times since surgery, but the one constant are the Nectars. I love them, even mixed with Water or homemade unsweetened soy milk.

Oh, and a shaker cup will keep the foam down more than blending, so try that if you want to avoid the foam.

Good luck!

Oh that's cool that will keep the foam down! I've noticed it has too much or a head on it when blended, I don't care for that myself either.

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks, I will keep your tips on my list. I am afraid of the Protein Drinks but I hope to find one that is tolerable ;)

Is the nectar suppose to be like a juice or a milk like shake? I'm on one of the websites right now and if you mix it with milk it wouldnt be a clear anymore, correct? Im looking for Protein mixes just for the first week of clears. Which flavors would you recommend for the clear stage? I am assuming it would be the flavors that are best with Water. Also, I was told that if you called syntax you could get 14 samples for 14.00 no shipping. I haven't called yet, but thats still cheaper at the other website.

BJs Bariatrics and those sample packs saved me a lot of money. Now I know which ones I like and don't like. The Lemonade Flavor = gag!

I like the chocolate About Time powder but the vanilla tastes pretty bad. I bought a bunch of Torani syrups to give them different flavors. The Syntrax Nectar line is pretty darn yummy. Keep in mind that the fruit flavored ones aren't clear. They have a milky appearance that can be off putting.

I bought 10 sample sizes of several flavors from vitalady.com. The packets each have 28-30gms Protein. So far the chocolate fudge is my fav. I am trying out shakes for pre & post uses.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
