I'd like to try the Nectar in water.... any opinions on the best flavor?

You mean the Syntrax nectars? If so, there are SOOO many flavors. It is going to be a personal thing. I prefer chocolate truffle and Crystal Sky. I have heard lots of good things about fuzzy navel. The strawberry kiwi was good to me, but really sweet. The only one I really didn't like was orange cream--it was just strange.

BJ's bariatrics sells sample packs in quantity of 11 and you can choose which ones you want to try. They come quickly too.

Awesome!! thanks for the tip!

I thought they all tasted disgusting.

The Caribbean Cooler is pretty decent in water, also--and I have to say I kind of love the Double Stuffed Cookie, but since I'm pre-op, I mixed that one with 1% milk, which miiiiiight have changed the experience a bit.

So far I have had the wild cherry flavor and it was ok, reminded me of jello water. I didn't really care for the fuzzy navel but I will still drink it. Currently I am sipping on the lemonade and it seemd to be ok as well. I think i like them because they aren't sweet. I bought the variety pack from BJ Bariatrics.

To me, I thought most of the fruit juice flavors were disgusting. The only exception was the fuzzy navel, but I wasn't THAT crazy about it. I haven't tried crystal sky.

I have in my possession strawberry mousse, vanilla bean torte, and chocolate truffle. The best one with Water is the chocolate truffle as it tastes like a yoo hoo. The rest taste better with milk, or milk and kefir/yogurt.

Once I get to the stage when I can add fruit I am sure that my taste buds may change a bit.

Fuzzy Navel, Roadside Lemonade, Lemon Tea, Caribbean Cooler - I'm 8 weeks post op and still use them. I mix with 16 oz water and some ice. Saved me during those first 3 weeks when I couldn't take any more vanilla or chocolate!!

The best lemonade I had was when I mixed Unjury's Strawberry Sorbet with crystal light lemonade. That was like WOW, no texture change and a yummy strawberry lemonade drink.

if you mix these in water are they clear? Just wondering if they are ok for the first week post op?

I was only on clear liquid the first two days when I was in the hospital but was ok'd for full liquid on day 3 and I started them then. nectar is a high quality Protein with few impurities and the way it's formulated it is safe early on. So is Isopure RTD but I found them pretty intense flavor wise. The Nectar is pretty strong for me too so I would either use more water or I bought some unflavored Nectar from BariatricAdvantage.com and would mix them half and half. But as always, you should follow your doctor/NUT guidelines because they know your personal history and we do not.

Nectar is one of the options given to us in the hospital as a first drink.

Roadside Lemonade, pink grapefruit and strawberry/kiwi are my favs pre-op.

Who knows post-op?

Just gave in this afternoon, and bought the full sized container of Double-Stuffed Cookie Syntrax Nectar. I'm enjoying it when mixed with water rather than milk--I like it a lot more than I expected to! Had some as a substitute for after-dinner snacking, and it totally satisfied the urge for sweets.

Agree that the Nectar sweets including double stuff cookie and chocolate truffle are really good with water!!! They are probably a reason for my success to lose my sweet tooth. Still drinking syntrax nectar sweet shakes 10 months post op.

I REALLY wanted to try the Double stuf flavor. What does it taste like exactly? I assume it mixes just as well as the others, right?

Good to know! I haven't tried the DS cookie flavor yet for fear it would trigger an old craving for the real thing. I'll have to try it!
