I did the same thing' date=' even threw some strawberries in and pineapple one sip and threw it out blah, what is syntax nectar? [/quote']

I'm drinking Fuzzy Navel Right now. I love it. It tastes a lot like a fuzzy navel without the alcohol. It has a tangy taste, love it. Orange and peachy, mixes easily. I ordered it off Amazon. However if you live near a Vitamin Shoppe, I believe they sell it. They have a bunch of different flavors such as Roadside Lemonade, a tea one, one that taste like coconut, strawberry kiwi, double stuffed cookie, Cappuccino, etc. I read reviews on the different flavors before I ordered and I just ordered another fuzzy navel cuz I'm almost out of the one I have. I definitely love this over the thick, chocolate and vanilla. The nectar's fruity ones aren't thick like the chocolate ones I have. They are thin when drinking. Much like a juice. I drink 1 1/2 servings each day to supplement my Protein intake. I drink it on the way to work, throw it in the fridge for lunch or just sip on it in the morning at work. If it sits for a lite bit before I drink, I give it a little spin to mix it up again. Yum. I'm very happy w it. I think I ordered the lemonade one this time too. If anybody's tried it, let me know how you like it. They have a sample pack you can buy to try 12 flavors out. But I just went with reviews from several websites that sells it.

By the way, no carbs or sugar. 90 calories per 1 scoop serving. and 23g protein. But the fuzzy navel does have a strong taste. It's a keeper for me unless my taste buds change again, lol. Mixed in the blender it gets frothy or foamy, still tastes good. If you let it sit, the frothiness goes away and you're left w a orange drink, looks like orange juice and probably the same strong taste like OJ.

That is probably one of the cheapest websites I found it at.

Awesome I am definitely checking these out. I have a huge container if vanilla Protein Powder left that I could just never choke down. What a waste. The chocolate ones were okay but I got sick if them. Put a scoop in my coffee today for the first time in a while, I have been trying to up Protein since I'm still way under 70g/day.

I've been drinking the Atkins chocolate royal shakes in the morning but I'm pretty much over those too.

I might get the sample pack, but the lemonade sounds good. Especially with warm weather around the corner (hopefully. It's still snowy here in NY)

Fuzzy Navel is my favorite. I also like the Crystal Sky flavor. Best prices were on Amazon. I can not drink the thick chocolate ever again. Two weeks of them pre-op

was all I could take. I never thought I would tire of chocolate. Tastes do change.

My 3 months pics. Hopefully they will come up now. Down to size 14 pant and Large shirt @ 180. I need to add a before pic. But need to search computer. But I'll add it on here when u do.

Oh yeah, I hit a stall. 5 days now :-( I was wondering when it would happen. But I started back at the gym so that's a good thing.

You look great, Gen. No one would guess you have been through all you have. Good job healing and staying focused on your goals. I'm also 3 months out and down to 179, size 14 pants and a M top and am stalled as well. Frustrating. I exercised 3 times today and had more Protein. Hopefully those things will help. Let me know what works for you. Great job so far!

Great job to you as well. I guess our bodies just need a little rest (I hope that's all though).

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
