Any February Surgery Dates...



Recommended Posts

I have tried several different Syntrax Nectar Protein Shakes. I've tried Syntrax Nectar's chocolate truffle, fuzzy naval, and the Cappuccino. I love the chocolate truffle shake the best. I mix it with unsweetened almond milk. It's so good. It taste like the real thing. I used unsweetened apple juice with the fuzzy naval. It was okay, but I'm not too keen on the taste. The cappuccino was good with unsweetened almond milk. I like your idea of mixing it with real coffee. I'll have to try it. Thanks.

Its okay to be scared. I'm scared too. It is surgery. I'm also excited and looking forward to life after surgery. Just know your not alone. Reading and participating in these forums help. We're all going through this together.

Feb 8th an very scared ????

I'm Feb 8, too! I go in at 5am, and I'm the second case for that morning. It's okay to be scared-it's completely normal ????. You are getting ready for the final part of this journey. Your new life and the road to a healthier you is about to begin!! I can just guess all the thoughts going through your mind--because my mind is like those super 6-lane highways where everyone is trying to merge and all the traffic is driving 75-100mph ????. Nerve racking and crowded to say the least. And, on the flip side, there is probably a part of you that is excited, has a little "rush" of adrenalin, and is ready to just go ahead and get on that highway. As so many have said, you're not alone, ever. Reach out no matter what, and someone will be ready to respond. I've met/read several others in these forums that are Feb 8, and all the other dates of Feb too. We are going to be fine. Slow and steady wins the race! I wish you only the best! When you wake up, your new life awaits ????

I've been waiting for someone like you to post about Syntrax. I ask about it a couple of times in the correct forum/conversation, but I think the posts kind of went a different way, so I didn't re-ask ????. (Didn't want to seem rude)

I've got the Fuzzy Navel and Lemonade. I thought it would help me get both Water and Protein in at same time. I was also gifted a tub of Peanut Butter cookie and the Truffle. In happy to hear you like them too!! ????.

I use the Latte everyday, and I put coffee in mine also. I'm a coffee gal, so even though we have to go Decaf, I try to make it seem and taste as REAL as possible...Ha Ha Ha!!! So glad you posted. If you have any ideas on blending or adding to your Nectars, is love if you shared ????????????!! Thanks again.

I want to try lemonade and grape next. I order them from Amazon.com. They have a wide variety of flavors available. You just have to remember one packet of Syntrax is 4 servings per package. Only 6 grams of protein per serving, to get my required amount of protein per serving I add an unflavored Protein powder to the mix.

      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.
