Syntrax Matrix Chocolate and Cappucino

Anybody want a huge bag of chocolate protein powder and/or cappucino? I found out that these products are causing my problems. As soon as I take a few sips- boom weak nauseated and shaky, don't know why but there is something in them I cannot tolerate. Unjury, Carnation IBD are fine. But whatever the difference - it's not good!! I managed to puree up some tuna (the sweet and spicy stuff inthe pouch) and a little cottage cheese - and it went down well. SO back to experimenting with puree soft foods....

Hey Bernadette, My surgery was a month before yours and I know that it is a rough road to find out what works for your body.It does get better but I am still trying out things slowly to see how they work. Also, I wanted to tell you that I enjoy Nectar protein powder. It mixes well with crystal light and isn't thick. That kind of stuff made me want to just die. I can drink it all the time because it is just like the crystal light with a kick..hehe. If you try it, mix with room temp C.L or water and then pour into glass with ice. That way no clumping....good luck, colleen

Thanks Colleen I am actually going to try some more of the Nectar- didn't really like it at first- and forget Profecta- YUCK. I am really a tough one to get to like anything that has any ANY kind of taste. I had a traumatic experience at about 8 or 9 with an upper GI- the doctor was absolutely abusive and trying to get that barium down with him yelling at me while I was gagging...well let's say it still with me 30 years later. So ANY little after taste, texture, chalkiness anything - and forget it....

Hey Bernadette. Sorry to hear your not tolerating so good. Have you tried the Atkins Protein shakes or the Ispopure Protein drinks. They taste really great. The Nectar is very good too. You can get the Isopure and Nectar on the bariatriceating website or in the stores too. I tolerate these really good. The Atkins smells horable but they taste really good. Especially the orange creame, and the vanilla caramel. Give them a try if you can. Also eggdrop soup was my ultimate favorite in the beginning. It really went down good and tasted good too. I still have it once in awhile. Good luck sweetie, if you need anyother help, don't hesitate to email me. Hugs KimC

Bernadette, I am so happy that you discovered the culprit. You must be relieved that you can move forward to the purees. I still can't touch a protein shake since the liquid stage. Flavored anything just tastes yucky to me. I really like flavorless "Any Whey". I get it at GNC and add it to my coffee. It mxes well once the coffee cools down a little and I do not taste any aftertaste. Possible because the coffee taste overpowers the powder. Hope you find the right products that work for you. It is such an individual thing, isn't it? terri
