Did you order the Syntrax Nectar? If so that is the one that I have been using. I am still pre-op my surgery isn't for another week 9/15, but I tried a couple other Proteins and the nectar Protein is what works for me. I like how it only has protein. (23 grams of protein per 1 scoop) And you can mix it with either Water or almond milk. Water gives it a thinner texture. The only thing i am worried about is that some people say the Protein Shakes that were working for them before surgery don't work for them now. So i hope my taste buds still agree with it afterwards. I also hear others like the premier agreed Unjury as well

I am 3 days post op and love the Syntrax nectar before and after surgery. I don't like a thick shake either. My favorite flavors are Fuzzy Naval, Cherry, Lemon Tea and strawberry Kiwi. I heard the apple one is good but it didn't come in my sampler pack so I never tried it.

If you don't like thick consistency, here's what i do: I mix the Protein powder with 10 ounces of Water (not the 8 recommended) and blend in in the Nutrabullet. This dissolves all the Protein really well but you end up with a lot of foam. So I put the shake right into the fridge and let it sit there an hour or so until the foam is gone. It works well for me.

For RTD, I like the Premier chocolate - over ice, it isn't that thick.

Finally, I use unjury unflavored powder mixed with 2 Crystal Light individual packs -- one pink lemonade and one yellow lemonade and 8-10 ounces of Water. It has the texture of a nectar drink and I like the sweet/tart flavor. I'm planning to do this with other Crystal Light flavors too.

Good Luck, you will do great!

Sytrax nectar are one of the thinnest around. They are popular with people who like a fruity drink rather than chocolate.

Sytrax also makes Matrix which is my favorite chocolate. I think they are great because when made with Water, they are only 120 calories and about 2 carbs.

I think the cheapest place to get it is vitacost.com Free shipping if you order $49 which I always do. My last order was 140.00 cause I get my vit D 3 sub lingual B12, Calcium citrate capsules, etc. They have practically anything you can think of.

You know you can get 10.00 off your order if you refer someone to vitacost. com. I am not worried about the 10 bucks, but if you have family members who order Vitamins, you can get 10 off your order and they can get 10 off theirs.

Syrax Matrix comes in a bunch of good flavors. Mint cookie is one of my favorites.

vitacost is almost always cheaper for anything. I order almost everything from them. I love their Waldens sugar free chocolate.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
