Try some of the Syntrax flavors from Vitamin Shoppe or online at http://bjsbariatrics.com/product/synSamplePack.html

I HATE all Protein powders. I decided this time around (had band surgery almost 4 yrs ago) that instead of investing $180 (like last time) on yucky stuff, I would sample a few brands/flavors. I've tried Premier chocolate, unjury strawberry, Syntrax nectar cappucino, SN chocolate truffle, SN strawberry kiwi, and SN vanilla torte. The verdict is in:

The Syntrax Nectar line was the best brand I tried, with each of the flavors very good, the cappucino ESPECIALLY yummy. Bought some unflavored powder as well from them (Amazon, since I get free shipping) but haven't tired that yet. The chocolate truffle one was pretty good too. The strawberry kiwi was nothing special but something I could definitely do if I had to.

The premiers were just like their Walmart counterparts- chalky and icky. The Unjury was ok. I guess I could down it if I had to. So I'm sticking with Syntrax Nectar. Just bought 2 lbs of cappucino from Amazon for $35.00. They may be $2 less elsewhere, but I get free shipping on Amazon do it works out in the wash.

Good luck sampling. Like the above post said, you can order sample packets of different brands (I ordered my SN from bjsbariatrics.com). Came with 11 flavors, $12.50'ishThey sent me a coupon for $5 off my next $50 order. Holding on to that one!

      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! 😞
