Protein crystals?



Recommended Posts

Is there such a thing as Protein crystals that you can add to Water that does not make it milky, but let's it stay the consistency of water? If so, does it come unflavored? I need to figure out how to get protein during clear liquid post surgery stage and isoprene tastes like metal to me. Any suggestions are welcome.

Syntrax Nectar powder mixes with Water into a koolaid-type drink. Comes in Apple, cherry, grape, dragon fruit, tropical, lemonade, peach, and iced tea flavors (at least those are the ones I've tried). Isopure is the only thing that ever made me gag....these are WAY better

I heard about Isopure Protein Drink and figured i'd try them since i too am having problems getting all my Protein in. I'm 1 month post op and it's the most difficult thus far. It was the grossest thing ever. Smelled like rotten eggs and made me gag. No good.

The Syntrax website is offering a special right now. It is a great deal of 15 single serving packs in 15 different flavors for $16.99 including shipping. To order call 866-333-7403 ext 800. Their hours are Mon-Fri 8am-5pm central time. It is a limit of 1 per household. I ordered it last week on Monday and had it by Friday. I wish the limit wasn't in place because I love these single serving sizes for traveling and on the go. It would be a way for you to try the different flavors for less $. I hope this helps.

Where do You get these fruit flavored Protein drinks? I am having trouble with milky and whey products after surg. However yogurt and puddings and cottage cheese are fine my Protein shakes are harsh to bare. A fruit flavored drink may be the way to go to get the Protein in??? Can you tell me where You get them?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
