I wasnt enamored with them, personally, i truly love the Syntrax products my whole office is drinking them now. I use the Cappuccino with 6 oz of skim milk and a few ice cubes, blended it makes a coolatta like drink, which is great in this warmer weather.

The fuzzy navel , and others are amazing as well. Especially if you like half and half aka arnold palmers, you can mix the lemonade flavor in with the iced tea flavor and Water and ice cubes and bingo. or if your allowed use unsweetened iced tea with the lemonade mix or crystal light lemonade with the iced tea flavored, and you have great drinks.

You can watch my taste tests in the video section here on Bariatricpal as well.

I will soon be doing videos of their new all natural line of Protein shake mixes soon, as they are sending me out some to taste test as well.

I tried the Syntrax fuzzy navel. It seemed to separate a lot with the powder sitting on the bottom of the bottle. I mixed it with Water. How do you make yours. I tried the vanilla bean torte the other day and it was really good. I used unsweetened almond milk and ice in the blender. I also like the chocolate. I need to try the Cappuccino flavor. I just hate to buy another whole tub of something and not like it. The Vitamin shope has the single packets of the vanilla and chocolate so I was able to try them without getting the whole tub.

Even with the fuzzy navel if youre using the shaker type cup you ned to shake it well, i prefer it in the blender, i use like 6 oz of Water for a full scopp for the fruit flavored Nectars and 5 to 6 ounces of 1% or skim milk , or unsweetened almond milk with the sweets. I do reccomend the packets. Syntrax website which is www.si03.com does have the 15.99 special for the sample kit, which is almost all the flavors in individual packets. I liked them all some more than others, except the crystal sky, that was just weird, it was bright blue and well, i couldnt tell what flavor it was just kind of a mix. lol

But i recomend any of them with ice, and when/if you ever want to add fruit, mango, and raspberries and strawberries all work great int he fuzzy navel .

I just tried the orange cream flavor and it's sooooo good!! This is the 1st Meal Replacement shake that I actually enjoy. I just thought I'd share.

How did u mix it, what did you use?

I found that it was too thick.

Bariatric Advantage is thick--that's why I love it--especially the Orange Cream! I dislike the thin brands (Syntrax is HORRID to me)! To each his own. You've got to see which one is the best for you!

I agree with you. That's what I like about Bariatric Advantage it's the only shake I've tried that's thick. The orange cream tastes just like a orange julius to me. Yummy!

Funny - I had the chocolate and hated the taste but my kids liked it so I told them to have it and I switched over to the Premier chocolate and it was more tolerable.

      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!!
