Syntrax Nectar Protien Shakes



Recommended Posts

These were my saving grace for pre-op diet as I had to have my shakes made with Water. They mixed easily and tasted really good.

I used the Cappacino and chocolate Truffle together for a morning shake. Great combo. I mixed 2 others as well, but can't remember now.

I have ordered my samples from www.bariatricpantry.com. The shipping was free and only took 2 days to get them in.

So far I tried the Syntrax nectar Roadside Lemonade. Made with lots of ice in Blender Bottle ( shake the bottle with a metal ball in it) the flavor was nice. Not odd tasting, no off flavors tasted like crystal light lemonade. I liked it.

Only problem was the foam on top. It was like a starbucks coffee -2" of foamy bubbles. Made it hard to drink.

allons-y

My favorite so far out of the samples I got are fuzzy navel, strawberry kiwi, and crystal sky. I loved cappuccinos before surgery so I tried the Cappuccino one and it ended up being too sweet to me. That's odd for me to say something is too sweet lol

What does a Crystal Sky taste like?

The Crystal Sky flavor is blue, but it tastes like fruit punch. My favorites are Roadside Lemonade, Fuzzy Navel, and Pink Grapefruit. The caribbean cooler was okay - tastes kind of like a pina colada.

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question, but how do you prepare these Syntrax shakes? Is it a powder that you mix with Water and/or ice? I always think of shakes as being thick and made with some type of milk product, but I take it you do not mix these powders with milk. How many grams of Protein would a standard shake have if you mixed it with 16 oz of water? I am totally new to this Protein Shake thing but am sure I will become a pro

The Syntrax comes as a powder. The ones I got - the sample sized ones are listed as 4 servings to a bag. One serving is mixed with 2-4oz of Water. So for a 16oz serving you use the whole package. Its 100 cal for a whole package & 24 grams of Protein.

I know some of the sweeter desert like flavors - vanilla torte, chocolate , mint cookie etc would be acceptably mixed with milk or milk substitute ( soy, almond , coconut) to increase the flavor/ consistency and boost the nutrition content.

But, I can tell you that the lemonade for me wouldn't of been good with milk. Maybe if I liked lemon custard or lemon curd I could of done it with milk but i don't so I didn't.

I've figured it out, The Syntrax Nectars taste like Jello mix before the Jello is cooled and set. Like if you make jello and add the hot Water and mix it up and lick the spoon.

I had the cherry and the lemonade flavors and I was struggling to find that flavor connection and that's it.

Once you're off sample packs, Amazon has best price for tubs. They also have flavors outside sampler pack. My favorite combination is true Natural Orange (no artificial sweetener) mixed with vanilla Bean in almond milk or Water - Orange Julius flavor! But main go-to is Lemon Tea. Mix 5-6 cubes of ice, water in Blender Bottle with powder and Metamucil dissolvable Fiber. shake, shake, shake and little whisk does the work. I drink one every morning even 15 months out not b/c I have to but because I LIKE IT! I'm down 140 pounds, past goal from 265 to 125 an maintaining for about 3 months now :-)

I just ordered my sample pack from BJ's Bariatrics and I am so excited but I am pretty sure that they won't get here by the time I come home from the hospital. Can anyone that has ordered from them tell me how long it takes to get what you order. I also went ahead and order the Unjury sample pack too and I would like to hear from anyone that can help, if they are good and how long it takes to get those also. I absolutely love this site. It is so helpful!

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
