I agree that the syntrex nectar very cold are the best. I usually mix mine with a scoop and a half of Protein Powder 12 oz of Water a few ice cubes and then I still put it in the fridge for a bit. I love them though. I am only using strawberry Kiwi. Might have to try the lemonade one thats sounds awesome..

I tried the Fuzzy Navel last night and dumped it! But I think maybe after I shake it up, I'll put in the fridge to settle down. It was foamy, and that bothered me. Maybe once they are settled, I can drink them.

I found it is best to stir the Protein in really well otherwise it does get foamy. I stir most of it and then shake just a bit and I get just a little foam on top but nothing too bad.

Pink Grapefruit nectar was the least Protein aftertaste to me! But like everyone else, I mix and refrigerate.

If I have time I stick mine in the freezer for 30-45 minutes' date=' if I don't have time (which is my norm) I go for crushed ice....certainly can't hurt to try the fridge!!!!!

I always put a couple of ice cubes in mine. That is the only way I can drink it.

I bought one of those shaker cups with the metal whisk ball in it. That's what I've been using to mix it.

Speaking of ice, if you live near a SONIC drive in, go buy the 10# bag of their ice -- pelletized -- they sell it like any other store in bags. Keep it for blending, it is way easier than cubed.

I'm with you - I HATE PROTIEN and dislike shakes of any type. Additionally I am allergic to whey.

I'm reading up on the recipies here and happy to see discussions about chkn broth!

I have to weed through this all and get some info. The Vega One protien powder I use requires a large amount to reach the protien needed and it's expensive! Its all gross to me though <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

There is Soy isolate Protein at GNC. It don't smell or taste... I put it in my iced tea... Taste nothing. You can even put it in your pancake mix, eggs, ect.

Someone told me their surgeon wanted them to use Whey protein... But I guess everyone's different.

I have to say just bring 16 days out that I love the Unjury strawberry Sorbet; It is very tasty with ice and very cold Water !! I also bought the Unjury chocolate Slendor , but not doing well with it at all, not sure if its the milk or what !!

Jannyb35 -- yes, I am having a bit of trouble with milk too, read somewhere that a good percentage of people become lactose intolerant after RNY, so I switched to either Water, lactose free milk, unsweetened almond/soy milk or sugar free juices from health food store. Doing a bit better on those mixed with the chocolate.< /p>

I agree with lots of you on the Syntax nectar Brand. I buy the lemon tea & it was definitely a life saver from the normal heavy Protein shakes. 1 scoop is 25 grams of Protein & I use 12-16oz of Water in my Blender Bottle with 2 tsp of BeneFiber (which helps hold it together) and a couple ice cubes. shake it up really well & then scoop off the foam. I'm drinking this every day and love it. sometimes I add 1/4 packet of crystal light just to change up the flavor, but I don't think it needs the added sweetness.

My sister gave me a great recipe to make a hot tea - which I really enjoy too.

Mix the following in a dry mixing cup

1 scoop nectar lemon tea

2tsp Benefiber

1 packet Orange Crystal Light (I don't use this part)

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1/4 tsp ground ginger

Add a little bit of tap Water into the mix to make a paste - then add 20oz hot water down over the top

Stir with a small wisk until fully dissolved

Strain into a cup or travel mug (this helps take some of the extra grit or chunks that didn't dissolve out)

*Only other note is don't let it sit for a long time otherwise it will settle to the bottom. Continuous stiring helps too.

Try the Syntrax Nectar Cappuccino latte. I am on my second tub cuz I love it. It really tastes like cappuccino and I can not taste the Protein at all. I order it from Amazon. I also dont find it so sweet as some others.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      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!!
