A "shout out" to Syntrax Nectars Fuzzy Navel protein



Recommended Posts

I am about 10 days post op. I was concerned that I would not make it this far because the thought of drinking smelly yukky whey Protein made me gag. I tried a few ready to drinks (RTDs) and while pretty sweet, knew I could suffer through with them. After lots of posts discussing what works best or what preferences for Protein were, I order the large canister of the Fuzzy Navel flavor (2#), and a small can (1#) of the unflavored Protein powder off of Amazon...it cost just under $50 and was free shipping through vitacost.

I mix two scoops of the fuzzy navel with 4 cups of Water, and refrigerate overnite, pour over ice the next day and get 46 g of protein in, AND added Water.

I have used the unflavored which is 10g per smaller scoop, and added to creamed Soups and SF Jello. It will clump if too hot so, I added to Jello after I added the water/ice cube speed set and there is no change to flavor or consistency. Jello is just not clear. I was able to put two scoops, for 20 g of protein to a small box of sf jello.

With the Soup, I added it to the Soup and heated in microwave.... as I was only eating about 1/4 c at a time, it was okay at first, but with each successive heating, it became more clumpy. Still, the unflavored does not at smell or texture or flavor, and will be a bonus when I get to the point that I can have pureed and soft foods.

I am certain that this is repeat information, but, it was such a concern for me, and now, such a relief.

Oh, I purchased an ice tea/lemonade flavor today at the Vitamin shoppe, and the canister was $39.99 so just a bit more than Amazon. It was a new product for them there.

I supplement with Premier Protein ready to drink vanilla, and Muscle Milk chocolate. Crazy sweet, and will be looking at diluting with banana, milk and ice cubes plus other methods in the future.

I am so happy I started drinking Syntrax! After surgery the ready made, thick sweet drinks made me sick.

I just ordered and received a bunch of the Syntrax Nectars sample packets from bariatric pantry. Tried caribbean cooler today, and OMG! Delicious!! Really quick delivery. Premier Protein was my favorite until I tasted the chocolate Unjury. Delicious chocolate flavor, and the unflavored blends well without a strong smell or taste.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
