geralynbrock 10 Posted January 30, 2013 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.

Richard Foor 655 Posted January 30, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimbernada 190 Posted January 31, 2013 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.

kimbernada 190 Posted January 31, 2013 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. I've been using the Syntrax Nectar and really like those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimbernada 190 Posted January 31, 2013 This is the thread where Sleeve Master was talking about how he likes Syntrax Matrix. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/62707-how-do-you-know-when-your-full/page__st__20#entry621325 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted February 6, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
