I've been researching and I'm finding a discrepancy in grams of Protein per serving. The canisters say the same thing but when I compare the labels some have 6grams of protein and others have 25 grams per serving. Is some specially formulated for WLS patients? I was just trying to find the best price. What is the difference? Anyone know?

You're finding a discrepancy between the Syntrax nectar? I've tried all of the Syntrax Nectar flavors and I remember them all having about 23g of protein.

Check the serving size. I think my canisters list the serving size as 1/4 of a scoop with 6g protein...which means 24g for a whole scoop. I don't know why they do it that way...seems weird to me, since I always use a whole scoop & I assume most other folks do, too.

Im loving the Syntrax Nectar in the vanilla Bean Torte. Taste really matters to me so Ill sacrifice a couple of grams of Protein for the taste. 23 or 25, makes no difference to me because to me its still a good amount to get in one meal. I have a shake for Breakfast then I have the rest of the day to make up the rest of my protein grams. We are going on vacation next week and I just picked up a 12 pack of single servings of the Syntrax at Vitamin Shoppe. That way I dont have to worry about getting my morning protein :) Thinking ahead is the best thing for me.

You know what I'm such a ditz! Lol I just realized the difference. It's bc some bottles say 1/4 scoop. I just seen where it says a whole scoop for 23 grams.

Thanks! Lol I feel like such an idiot! When I went back and looked I noticed that. In my defense I'm on my iPhone and I didn't magnify the whole label at first. Ha ha.

Sorry about that. Lol.

Sorry about that. Lol.

No worries, I had forgotten about that. Like southernsoul, I use an entire scoop for 8oz of Water.

I'm an avid planner so that will be me too! I haven't even met with surgeon yet and I'm already researching all this stuff. I can't sit idle and wait. I have to look up stuff. Lol hopefully this will be a good thing and I will be successful after surgery.

Also, on the Syntrax website you can order a sample pack of flavors. It's 12 packs for $12, plus about $2 shipping. I love the vanilla bean torte & chocolate truffle, but wanted to play around with the fruit flavors before buying a big tub. I had to end up emailing them to get the sample pack, as the phone number went to voice mail, but that might have just been a hitch on that day.

Here's the website: http://www.si03.com/medical/med_index.htm

Thanks! Someone else mentioned the sample pack as well. I'm defiantly going to order one of those before buying a big tub.

Look at the differences between serving sizes. 6 gms sounds like 1/4th of the packet of Syntrax which is a fourth of the serving.

No problem!

I wish I could give you all mine. I have the unflavored, Cookies, chocolate, and vanilla. Post-op I cannot do these. So I have 4 new ones (ran out the week before surgery) and I'm so ticked I just can't throw them away.

Edited: 4 newly opened ones

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
