Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder



Recommended Posts

I got tired of my GNC Protein and decided to go with a Protein Powder that's highly recommended by my surgeon's office and his previous patients--Syntrax nectar. I picked "Fuzzy Navel" flavor. It was only $30 off Amazon for 2 lbs! I wanted the sample pack, but it was the same price as the 2lb tub so...value wise it didn't make sense. This one also had the highest ratings regarding flavor so I hope I don't regret this :P

Anyone else use Syntrax Nectar?

I purchased the cherry and the tropical island I think it was called... I was surprised at how thick it was... which was the reason I got it...ppl said it was juice like... it's still got that thick whey texture that I don't like... the reg Protein texture was making me want to vomit tmi sorry... the flavor was good but I didn't buy anymore of it. Hope u like it!!

I actually just tried the Fuzzy Navel flavor for the first time yesterday; it was perfectly acceptable! And that's actually fairly high praise for a Protein Drink. ;)

It's rather Tang-like, but with a little peach. I find I like these better mixed with a little more Water -- I do about 10 oz. (or 8 oz. and a couple of ice cubes) for a single scoop, rather than the 8 oz of Fluid I usually use for other Protein Drinks. But the texture is closer to juice than it is to a typical shake (I didn't find it to be particularly thick at all), and the flavors I've tried so far, while not exact facsimiles of the fruits they mimic, are still a nice break from the chocolate/vanilla/caramel routine. It's also nice to get a dose of Protein and some water at the same time. (I've tried mixing other Protein Shakes with water, but even the good ones, like ON Double chocolate, turned out absolutely vile. This one works great with water.)

It's nice to hear when someone enjoyed a product my body refused(hate that textures affect me so differentlynow)... I even tried diluting it with more water like u did... still didn't work for me... when I bought it I was hoping it would be close to the clear Protein drinks... the supplement store that I purchased it from didn't have samples of that brand... happy sipping :)

I liked the Fuzzy Naval too and I'm extremely picky about Protein drinks. The Iced Lemon Tea flavor is good too.

      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.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
