Bariatric Advantage Nectar Protein



Recommended Posts

Hi ! Has anyone had the Bariatric nectar Protein shakes ? How do they taste? Is there a recommended flavor. Wish they sold separate packets to try. I heard after surgery your taste buds may change not possibly wanting the regular Protein Shakes so thought I might look into trying the nectar. Any feedback would be awesome ! Thanks !

I could stand my chocolate flavors after surgery. I'm a week out. It's getting better. I tried the fuzzy navel with nonfat milk and ice and found it refreshing. People typically like them around here...

Thanks MisforMimi I'm doing the Premier vanilla and chocolate. I will probably get the Bariatric Advantage shakes too. I liked the vanilla didn't like the iced lattee. Still have to try Choclate and Orange Creme. I bought a couple different flavor packets to try out. Best of luck with your recovery.

Fuzzy navel with skim milk is really, REALLY good. I know it is a strong word, but I HATE Protein shakes, LOL. nectar is by far my favorite, but I have only had the fuzzy navel flavor. I have samples of the lemonade and Carribean cooler that I will probably try over the next few days. There is almost NO whey taste. I can smell it, but nearly as much as with other brands.

My surgeons office/nutritionist sells sample packs with lots of flavors, so there must be a way of getting individual packets. I've tried three or four flavors--Today's was Carribean Cooler, which was super coconutty. Can't say I'm crazy about any of them, but YMMV.

Www.si03.com. Syntrax Nectar, I bought samples there, it was a package of 10 or 12 different ones. You really have to look for it though, NOT an easy website to navigate.

I like the flavor of the Bariatric Advantage stuff but the texture of the Quest shakes is better to me. I'm wondering which one I'll tolerate better after surgery? I really have issues with texture (my whole life) like I love tomatoes taste but can't eat raw tomatoes.

I tried the nectar sample pack and fell in love with the Twisted cherry flavor. I add a scoop on the powder to 20 oz of Water plus 1 packet of sugar free kool aid.. = Protein packed yummy juice!

Thanks Bayla1212! I just ordered thru bariatric pantry. You can also order a one time variety pack through Syntrax (Co that produces it) for $14 plus 1.99 shipping but it's on back order about three weeks ...I need it quicker since my surgery is in a 1 1/2 weeks.

      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!!
