So I am one step closer to my surgery and I just met with the nutritionist and she mentioned that Syntrax Nectar is great tasting and has a lot of protein in it.  Now I don't know if I should go with that vs. the Bariatric Advantage?

Any suggestions? 

Thanks guys!

Not sure about Syntrax, but I just got off Bariatric Advantage for my liquid diet.  The strawberry and banana protein shakes taste good, but they gave me really bad gas....

Totally diff texture, I'd say try both for some variety. Nectar is a drink like beverage- watery and 100 cals 23g protein and no carb. I love the lemon iced tea- tastes like lemon iced tea! It's thin and not sickly sweet. The only Syntrax Nectars I did not like were the "Sweets"..

BA to me is a shake, sweet for my tastes, but on occasion- it's nice. Best advice, get sample packs from many places.. Netrition has a protein sample pack. Sublimate's FAQ's post- (do a quick search) tells you who to contact to get other sample packs including one from Syntrax. I ended up purchasing more Nectar packs and a couple containers of Nectar Unflavored to add to milk, soups, teas etc..

I took sublimate's advise and ordered the Nectar (Syntrax) variety pack from Netrition.com.  Had my first one today.  It was strawberry/kiwi.  Haven't tried Bariatric Advantage my NUT recommended Unjury from whom I also orderd a  sample packl.  I liked the Nectar this morning a nice fruity change from the EAS Advantage Chocolate drinks I've been drinking for breakfast.  I'm getting great suggestions from this site on foods.  I ordered some PB2 (dried peanut butter) from Netrition and some dry roasted edamame.  The edamame is great and I will include it in my arsenal as I go forward towards my surgery and after.

 Depends on what you prefer, the BA shakes are pretty good but they are thick, sweet, and my post-op tastebuds rejected them.

I've tried and liked Nectar - Twizted Cherry, Fuzzy Navel, Roadside Lemonade, Strawberry Kiwi, Crystal Sky, and Orange and liked them all.  Did not care for the lemon tea, peach, or fruit punch flavors.

I am also an Isopure fan...depends on your tastebuds.  

Getting the sampler packs available is definitely a good idea, huge money saver.  I haven't tried the BA shakes in a while, i might whip one up tonight to see if they're any better than they were one week post-op.

I like the cie tea with Lemon, Cappucino (tastes like Starbucks) and the chocolate truffle.  I buy them in the big canisters from dietdirect.com  free shipping  and if you buy more than three there is a discount.

 i love the nectar.  I have the fuzzy navel right now but I ordered the sample packs and found which flavors I really liked.  I like the kiwi strawberry, pink grapefruit, fuzzy navel.
