    Here in Holland protein shakes are discouraged after the operation, but how else would you get enough protein per day?

    I know Walmart doesn't carry it, I got mine from the vitamin shoppe, ordered it online. As for results, I have only had it since Friday. I am getting my 70-80g of protein daily now, which makes me feel less like wanting to "graze" or snack. I'm only down 18lbs since my surgery, but the body inches are definitely changing.

    Why are the shakes discouraged? Is it all the artificial ingredients? I can appreciate that, since surgery, I've tried to "eat clean" but I can't pronounce half the ingredients in most shakes. I figure most everything I'm eating is "clean" so the shakes are just a teeny detail. LOL!

    The idea is that you never have to diet again. 6 small meals a day

    I ordered the Syntrax Nectar cappucino and have one for breakfast every morning. I mix it with milk and a cup of ice, throw it in my bullet, and it tastes like wonderful iced coffee. Ordered it from Amazon, about 32.00 for two pounds. If you have Amazon prime, ships free and get it in two days:-)

    1 month: 25 lost (194-10 day stall)
    3 months: 9 lost (173-halfway to goal!)
    5 months: 7 lost (161-1week stall)
    7 months: 4 lost (152-4 week stall)
    9 months: 1 lost (145-1 month stall)
    10 months: 0 lost (145-2month stall
    14 months: 0 lost (145-7 month stall)

    My goal: 145...originally 129 but my body said no!

    Fuzzy Navel was the first thing I drank after surgery. I would love to buy more (all i had was a sample pack) but I don't want an entire jug. Wish they made smaller quantities. I also really like the strawberry kiwi.

    My NUT discourages shakes because they want us to get protein from solid foods, not liquids. But you know what? My appetite is severely decreased and I need a better way to supplement. I need the calories too. I recently worked on upping my calories and saw a sudden 2lb loss. So I need to keep this up.

    I have the Nectar fuzzy navel. Made it with water but I found that it tasted okay but a little weird so I haven't had much since. I want to use it though. I know the Crystal Lite sunrise stuff....I used to drink that before surgery. I am going to pick some up TONIGHT and try this.

    Thank you.

    They do carry it on walmart.com but they don't have this flavor and twice the price. Not worth it there

    OK, you convinced me..lol. I can't drink shakes anymore and this sounds so good. I already love Crystal Light sunrise orange so maybe I'll have some luck with this. Thanks for the suggestion. This site is SO helpful. I wish I had more time to read through everyone's posts each day!

    They do have a 12 pack of individual packets. It is like 20 though for that and only 36 for the jug. But they have it at bariatricchoice.com.

    Before anyone bad-mouths me, I forgot to mention that I mix my crystal light very weak. I found this out when I mixed my juice this morning, using a singles pack. HOLY SWEETNESS!!!!! Who needs caffeine?

    I have a few of the sample packs and have been looking for a way to get them to be palatable. Thanks for the suggestions! I travel a lot and with this I could take my shaker and mix the fuzzy naval into my orange Zip Fizz drink.
    Sleeved September 4 with Dr. Elias Ortiz!
