As was said above, you proablly need to up your Protein intake. Also make sure you are getting enough fluids in. It is common to stall. Also protien really does play a huge help in your weight loss. If you don't take in enough your body thinks it is in starveation mode. A great protein that has no flavor and can be added to anything is GENEPRO it is the only one I have found that has no flavor and won't change the taste or texture of whatever you add it too. Good Luck

Questions, 7 days until surgery
shedo82773 replied to ramsey2008's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I have tried many many different Protein drinks...I can say that these are the ones that I like: ATKINS has great drinks and they taste great, MYOPLEX Rich dark chocolate Muscle Milk banana flavored and Gramcracker mixed BUT...By far the best one for me is GENEPROunflavored. I am a coffee drinker so I take my Keurig Cup of coffee and Sweet Cream and add 1 scoop of GENEPRO!!! No taste n change in my coffee. So it is a WIN WIN because I would drink my coffee anyway so it is a plus!! One thing I would say don't buy a whole lot of protein because most people's taste changes after their surgery and lets face it Protein stuff is NOT cheap. I would hate to really know how much money I spent on trying to find one that worked for me!! -
Does anyone actually like their protein drink?
Stevehud replied to AvaFern's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
honestly I know ive mentioned ive done tons of protein drink video taste tests on my blog, but the syntrax nectar and matrix products are hands down the best. I wont use genepro because of the obvious lie they use. they say you get 30 grams of protein in 15 grams of product which as you canguess is not possible. Ive called them out on this several times and they just delete my posts so I know they are not being truthful. I like a few isopure ready made drinks, the black tea being the best period. alpine punch and prange are decent . my favorites now are the syntrax nectar vanilla torte, the syntrax nectar cappuccino and the syntrax nectar fuzzy navel, I found using 1% milk with shakes like vanilla cappuccino etc. but water with flavors like cherry, fuzzy navel etc. -
I can’t meet my protein requirements
ShelbyMoore replied to Rose400491's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use Genepro Medical Grade Protein powder. I bought it on Amazon.. $30 or $40 , don’t recall, but it has 30 servings in it. Each scoop is approx 30g protein (same as 1 premiere shake) I use a scoop of it and put it in my broth. It has NO taste. Once I move on to more foods I will add it to my yogurt, cottage cheese, anything. When you use it, to avoid clumping, I mix the protein powder in a few oz of liquid first. Mix it well to get rid of any clumps then I add it to my larger portion. I tried it as a recommendation on here from someone else. It works great for me! -
I drink bottled Water. I find it easier to make sure I get it in and one 16.9 oz bottle isn't as daunting as a big gulp container. Four bottles and you have your daily goal met. As far as food goes, I eat fish and steamfresh vegetables mostly. I buy the cod fillets that are individually wrapped. After it is unthawed, I season it and saute it in olive oil or coconut oil. One bag of vegetables will last me the whole week. I have grilled steak once a week, grilled, baked or sauteed chicken also. I eat a serving of fresh fruit every day. On days that I exercise I have a GENEPRO Protein shake in the morning and I have an afternoon or evening snack of Fage yogurt with fruit. On days that I exercise (5-6 days a week), I have approximately 1,100 calories, 80 to 96 ounces of water and 90 to 100 grams of protein. I don't eat Protein Bars at all. I don't eat sugar free or fat free anything. I hope this helps as an example.

I'm new here. Had surgery on July 2nd. Been a very easy recovery but i feel no restriction at all. Still on full liquid stage and eating only what I'm supposed to but starving. Getting in my protein with Genepro 3 times a day. And I'm sure I should not be weighing myself but I cant help it. Lost 20 pounds first seven days but the scale has not moved in the last four. Just seeking some reassurance that this is normal.

Bullet Proof Coffee
OutsideMatchInside replied to y0lis's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I drink bulletproof coffee some of the time, I used to drink it all the time when I was trying to lose prior to the sleeve. I really like Dave Asprey. I really don't drink it often anymore because all the things I was trying to cure with bulletproof coffee, I cured just losing weight/having the sleeve. Like one of the big benefits of bulletproof coffee and how it works and benefits you is that it is pure fat and energy. WLS patients needs Protein, so you can't go pure fat. Adding Protein powder to bulletproof coffee defeats the purpose of bulletproof coffee, which is to provide you energy while extending your fast. The whole point of drinking bulletproof coffee in the morning it to extend your overnight fast until the afternoon. Helping people with 16/8 or better fasting. Having coffee with just fat has no effect on blood sugar or most metabolic functions. When you add protein powder to it and make it a Protein Drink you are erasing those benefits Early post-op I think Bulletproof coffee is too many calories and too much fat. I think it would do a real number on someone newly sleeved. MCT Oil goes right through you until you build up a tolerance with a normal GI tract. I wouldn't add that fictitious crap GENEPRO to anything. I usually just kick my day off with coffee with heavy whipping cream. I only use bulletproof coffee now, if I am fat fasting to break a long stall. If I dont get out the 190s pretty soon, I will be doing another fat fast for a few days. -

Bariatric Advantage Liquid Diet- so sick of chocolate!
Nerdgrl replied to BigKnifeLittleFork's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
unjury chicken soup mix may be an option for you... I don't like it much, but many people here seem to. At least it's not so sweet! I also add GENEPRO to unsweetened iced tea because I can't stand the excessive sweetness of all the shakes either! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
? About Genepro unflavored
carolk36 replied to MamaTo3inNH's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I've not tried it in Water but I've mixed it with just about everything else (including hot decaf coffee) and it's virtually undetectable. I had surgery in September and since October I have used no other Protein supplement but GENEPRO. My surgeon approved it and my NUT researched it because I was concerned about comments I had read here, and she said the peptide was completely appropriate. It's the only whey product I can ingest without gagging from either the smell, taste, or both. I got the numbers back from my blood tests on the 20th and every number was within normal range, including protein. My surgeon was very happy with my numbers. Let us know how it worked in water and Benefiber. Best of luck, Carol -
Best clear protein drink
Clementine Sky replied to Mimipopla's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I recently began using GENEPRO after watching a "grocery haul" video on YouTube that another woman who'd had the VSG made, and I really like it thus far. If I had known about it when I was on clear I would have given it a shot. I'd used Isopure then but wasn't a fan. A tablespoon-sized serving of Genepro has 30 grams of Protein. It dissolves very well in cold liquids, and decently in warm and hot as well but you have to do a bit more stirring (with a fork, rather than a spoon, as per the instructions.) Once you're past the clear stage you can add it to yogurt, smoothies, and the like. http://www.amazon.com/Musclegen-Research-Genepro-Medical-Servings/dp/B00K6OSDYA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455085549&sr=8-1&keywords=genepro -
Best whey protein powder
brenda1949 replied to 1 babygirl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like the unflavored onion powder from Genepro, as an alternative to other flavored powders. You can mix it with anything hot or anything cold. I got mine from Amazon I'm sorry I hit the send button too soon it's unflavored powder not unflavored onion powder. Sorry -
Best Unflavored Protein Powder?
BigViffer replied to PepperCat's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have no recommendation for unflavored protein powder, just about anything is decent as long as it is not Genepro. They were just recently successfully sued for their misleading marketing practices. There is not 30 grams of protein in a serving. They used to say that magically compressed the protein then they changed their story to say that it is the equivalent of 30 grams of protein because of the rapid absorption. Here is a better post about it because I don't feel like typing it out all over again" -
Each person is different, but my doctor wants me doing between 60-80 grams of Protein a day. Anything above that is just wasted calories I'm told. I have a scoop (1 T = 30g) of GENEPRO a morning in an ounce of Powerade Zero. It's like doing a shot to supplement my protein intake. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What's your favorite tried and true go to meals or snacks?
chip305 replied to Debbieduck4's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I make a crustless quiche that I eat everyday. You can change up the flavor profile by what you add. My favorite is bacon, swiss, green onion, roasted red peppers and mushrooms. 5 eggs 1 C cottage cheese Any cheese, veggies, seasoning or meat you want to add. I also add 1 or 2 scoops GENEPRO to up the Protein. Just whip together and pour into a greased pie pan. Bake at 400 F for about 30 - 35 minutes. Makes 6 good size portions. -
My surgery is soon but I cannot stand the taste of protein shakes is there anything else I can drink to get proper protein?
cutebutcrzy replied to HLsleeve's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I mostly used genepro and mixed it in to everything. Fairlife is the only premixed shake that doesn't make me nauseous since the surgery. -

Megarooni replied to HLsleeve's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
My tastes changed after surgery and I couldn’t stand the taste of premier protein anymore. I tried a few others and now I love Iconic Protein. That’s been helping me get my protein levels back up. I also use Genepro unflavored protein powder and can mix that into anything. -

Ugh so much going on with my body
mrsNilla replied to kblanc's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Which brand and where did u buy it Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder seems to be popular. You can mix it to almost anything. Just be careful not to heat it, since it can lose some of it's potency. You can add it to warm broth but don't put the protein in the microwave. It also mixes to cold stuff like milk or yogurt. Use unsweetened almond milk if you have problems with lactose. Nilla -
Ask your doctor about GENEPRO Protein, I tried a sample from them of their ultra refined powder and mixed it in with everything from hot tea and coffee to Peanut Butter and cream cheese on a cracker. It literally has no taste and doesn't mess with the consistency of things, but I have a hard time buying that its protein content is as high as it claims. I haven't asked my doc about it yet but will see him in late December so if you see yours first, go for it. Try it out too, you can get a little sample pack from them for like 1.50 on amazon it has a lot of great reviews and only one or two not so great.

Following the rules
Kindle replied to Unhappysleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 11 months out and I do have a large (24-32oz) protein/fiber smoothie everyday. I'm getting 30-40g Protein from that so I DONT have to think about what I eat the rest of the day. I am free to eat healthy, balanced meals and Snacks, basically whatever I'm in the mood for, whether it's protein or fruit or veggies or whole grains. I also fill a 32 oz Water bottle in the morning and make sure it's gone before I go to bed so between that and the smoothie, I'm not thinking about fluids, either. Anything else I drink during the day (coffee, tea, juice, Vitamin water, etc) is just bonus. Personally, I like creating new flavors with all my shake powders, Torani syrups, and fruit....rarely have the same thing more than a couple times/month. But if you aren't a fan of the drinks, how about adding a Quest bar into your day? That's 20g protein with just one snack. Or if you are easily able to get in enough liquid, how about adding GENEPRO protein to whatever it is you're drinking? I have never used it, but people rave about how well it mixes in anything and has zero taste. In any case, it sounds like you've had luck losing weight, now you just need to find a way to maintain and still remain healthy (and happy). Finding a way to make postop life simple and easy = long term success. -
Hiking & Camping VSG Food Ideas
Pescador replied to #BirdDog's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
If you are hiking sounds like you will need beef jerky, trail mix, and light items for food. The GenePro protein powder is about one T. Of powder and would mean x with most anything. I have never hiked, but I loved camping in the motor home. I need a cooler and more than I can carry, so good luck with your hiking!!!!
