Hi everyone,

I was researching Protein powders, and I ran across this Syntrax Matrix 5.0 in orange cream, bananas & cream and strawberry & cream. This is not whey Protein isolate, but whey protein concentrate, casein-rich milk protein concentrate, and egg white protein. Is this acceptable to use post-operative?

I am 8 weeks out and still dependent of Protein drinks to get most of my protein, and I'd like to try these flavors. Thoughts?

Thanks for your help!

G.

I believe casein Protein is a slow absorbing protein. According to the below link it forms a gel or clot in the stomach which can take several hours to be digested. That doesn't sound good for a sleeved stomach to me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casein

Somebody else here has posted about good results with this. The 5.0 stands for the five-pound bag. You might come across a 2.0, which is for the two-pound container. I think have the slow absorbing Protein would be good for keeping satisfied longer.

On a side note, I just remembered that my tracking info showed that the two Syntrax Matrix containers were supposed to have been delivered today. (Vanilla and Chocolate) I didn't see them on the front step when I got home today and forgot about them. Must be a new FedEx driver who stuck them next to a side door. :rolleyes: I've been using the Syntrax Nectar and really like those.

This is the thread where Sleeve Master was talking about how he likes Syntrax Matrix.

Syntrax Matrix is the only one I use now. I like all the flavors, except banana. The banana is very bland. the mint cookie is fabulous, even though it has 20 more calories.

I have orange cream (I add more orange torini Syrup to that one)

chocolate

vanilla

mint cookie (it has little chopped up cookie pieces in it) delish!)

Sytrax is a very good Protein powder. they are the same company that makes the nectar drinks everyone likes.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
