Syntrax Nectar so far...



Recommended Posts

So far, Roadside Lemonade, and Cherry are AWESOME as add-ins for SF Jello jigglers.

caribbean cooler is NOT a yummy popsicle :( (Though I'll probably eat the 3 1/2 I have left).

Crystal Sky isn't so yummy as a normal shake.< /p>

Hrm... I wonder if I add a little davinci's Syrup to the caribbean cooler popsicles... Nahh, I don't think that will help.

I just got my shipment of 11 samplers of nectar. When I had my lapband 3 1/2 yrs ago, I blindly ordered about $180 worth of Protein drinks from GNC.com. Hated them all. Especially the Isopures. Yuck. This time I decided to try a few before my July 16th surgery. The $15 ones from Walmart are ok, not great but ok. So if I don't like the Nectars (haven't tried them yet), I think I'll stick to the Walmart choc and strawberry ones. They're decent for 4 weeks worth of eating!

Looking forward to the Roadside Lemonade! Got cherry too!

Haven't been a huge fan of the Nectars, other than the Fuzzy Navel I sometimes have in the morning. Choking down the chocolate Truffle now. It could also be that I'm at the end of my two weeks on the Protein Shakes and am very sick of them! Can't wait to meet with my NUT on Tuesday to go onto the next phase!!

Actually, put the Jello powder in, then the boiling Water, stir 'till dissolved. That reduces the heat (because apparently Water over 140 degrees does funky stuff to protein), and then I whisk in the Protein powder.< /p>

I ordered a pack of samples on eBay and got one of each flavor. The chocolate truffle and double stuff cookie are both fantastic! I mixed them with soymilk. The Cappuccino was tolerable, but not terrific. I am still pre-op and didn't feel that any of them have given lasting fullness as a Meal Replacement. I am hopeful that will change after surgery. I also have tried the lemon tea and apple ecstasy mixed with Water and an evening "snack". The tea wasn't great, but the apple was ok. I def plan on buying a full size container of the chocolate truffle!

I'm pre-op and trying to lose both lose weight and get accustomed to not eating real food so I'm trying to do a pre-pre-op diet using Protein shakes as Meal Replacements. I ordered a sample pack of Syntrax nectar and I just tried the Lemon Tea and I was pleasantly surprised. I really expected it to be gross, but it was drinkable. I'm from the South and sweet tea is my downfall and one of my favorite things in the world so the thought of powedered tea instead of fresh brewed was weird to me to start with. I also don't like lemon in my tea, but I found this bearable. It was much better than I expected, to say the least.

I also ordered powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury powder and I have to say the Syntrax mixes up about a thousand times better than the Unjury. With the Unjury, I'm getting a lot of wasted Protein because it all clumps at the top of my milk.

I'm a big fan of Syntrax--the Double Stuffed Cookie and vanilla Bean Torte are my two big favorites so far. When you blend the Unjury, are you using a spoon, or a blender-bottle, or a blender? I think the Syntrax dissoves really well, but if you want to avoid wasting your Unjury, maybe a blender or blender-bottle will help.

I've been using either a spoon or a Blender Bottle (with the metal blender ball in it) to mix the Unjury. Anything that requires the use of an electric blender is something I don't want to use.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
