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.

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.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. 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?
      Thanks

      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.
