im a little sad. I tried the Roadside Lemonade, added about 12 oz of Water and shoke it. it was a frothy stinky mess. I am not sure I can bring myself to try the others. What went wrong, so many love lemonde.

I find the froth annoying, but otherwise Roadside Lemonade is one of my favorite flavors. I do it and my other favorites at 8 oz Water per scoop.

The other flavors are good- give them a try. Roadside Lemonade is one of the least popular along with the iced tea flavor from what I've read anyway. If you like coffee, try the Cappuccino flavour with nonfat milk! It tastes like you're drinking a bottle Starbucks frap! I add a drop or two of chocolate baking extract and make it a mocha- yummy.

Are you using a blender-bottle to shake it up? I've found it helps a little to add the Water first and then the powder. The froth dissolves pretty quickly for me, I just let the bottle sit on the counter for a couple of minutes and when I go back to it, a gentle shake makes sure the cookie bits (I have Double Stuffed Cookie at the moment) blend up from where they settled.

A couple of my more amusing "blonde moments" have come from sipping at the nectar, then forgetting the bottle-top is open and giving the bottle a solid shake before my next sip. Oops. :D

The foaminess is one of the big downfalls of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury or nectar. The solution is simple though. Stir, don't shake. Just the opposite of Agent 007 and his martinis . :-)

I've seen nectar in the Vitamin shoppe. They don't carry all of the flavors though.

My surgeons office that sells nectar as its Protein Powder didn't even know they come out with a new flavor so I think it will take some time to find. Bought mine on Amazon.com.< /p>

Okay- here's my review on the Wild Grape Syntrax Nectar Protein powder! The powder is white, not purple so that sort of threw me when I opened the container. I mixed 8oz of Water with added ice cubes with one scoop of powder in a Blender Bottle. Once the protein touched the water, parts of it started turning blue then purple- sort of psychedelic! It foamed like all Syntrax does but died down fairly quickly- less foam than Cappuccino flavor. The first thing that hit me on taste was I could taste the protein- then that died away and I tasted a tangy grape- like biting into a wine grape at the orchard. The tang and grapeyness stayed with me for a while, until I took my next sip- then protein taste again. It's not my favorite flavor Syntrax makes but it's not the worst either. It's great for not having a protein aftertaste- you get hit with it at the beginning of the sip then forget about it when the grape flavor hits. I though it would taste more like otter pop grape but it really is more of an orchard grown grape taste with a tang. Give it a try and see what you think!

Yes, stir nectar instead of shaking - it helps. I loved the Lemon Iced Tea and the Grapefruit flavors. I did not like the Crystal Sky (it's BLUE), Cappuccino (weird fake coffee taste), or caribbean cooler (too coconutty) flavors, but the vanilla Torte and Lemonade were okay.

      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!

      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.
