I have a fruit smoothie almost every morning. Handful of spinach, frozen tropical fruit, almond milk, half a banana or avocado and a scoop of Genepro. It's the only way I can get liquid protein in. I follow dr v. Recipe Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk -

I am on soft foods here was my day yesterday BF: 1 packet sugar free maple brown sugar oatmeal with 1 scoop of Genepro protein powder and splash of sugar free salted caramel syrup -159 cal total L: 2 oz refried beans, 1 oz cheddar cheese soup, 1 oz red enchilada sauce, 2 oz avocado - 158 calories total D: Ricotta bake with unflavored protein powder mixed in - 200 calories total Snack: Dannon light and fit key lime Greek yogurt- 80 calories Also had a bariatric hot chocolate for 90 calories Total for the day 686 calories, 86 grams protein, 48 net carbs, 15 grams sugar, 21 grams fat and 12 grams fiber. I have started exercising again and found I need to keep above 600 calories or I just drag butt all day. My weight loss has tapered off but I am not worried. There will be good weeks and bad weeks, but it will all average out. -

Last few days: Breakfast: 1 egg with half slice American cheese Lunch: 1 oz refried beans with sprinkle cheddar cheese, 1 oz avocado, 1 ounce sour cream Dinner: eggdrop soup with protein/collagen powder Breakfast: 4 oz cottage cheese with pureed pineapple Lunch: mashed cauliflower and parsnips (so much better than potatoes! So yummy!) Dinner: buffalo chicken dip Breakfast: 3 oz yogurt, 2 baby food (apple peach spinach pouch) Lunch: string cheese and applesauce Dinner: pureed lobster bisque (was so good I ate it too fast and got the sweats lol) Breakfast: 1/2 banana with 1 tbsp peanut butter Lunch: Yes! Brand soup (cauliflower and roasted potato) Dinner: refried bean plate as above. I've only been on purees/soft foods for four days so that's the basic run down. But I'm satisfied and happy! I don't snack in between right now because I was doing poorly on my fluids and it helps to have more time in between to drink more fluids. I hate protein shakes so viscerally much, I bought Genepro and have been just mixing that in my fresh iced tea. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk -
Just not hungry...

I’ve tried Atkins, Premiere Protein, Breakfast Essentials, Genepro, Muscle Milk, Orgain, Owyn, Proti, and a few other whey powders. I can’t tolerate any of them. I went through this whole process without drinking protein shakes. Pre op I chugged them because I wasn’t crazy about the taste but I didn’t think they were that bad. Post op I couldn’t even drink them, I threw up and gaged just looking at them. Idk what happened. I drink plain fairlife milk but never tried the power shakes. I’m willing to give it a shot. Is it super sweet? I tried the chocolate milk (not protein shake) and it was too sweet for my taste. -
I'm using Genepro and I really like it. You only have to use a small scoop to get 30 grams of protein and only 59 calories. I tried Isopure, but you have to use more to get 30 grams of protein and it is 112 calories.

Doc told me to shoot for 90-100 grams of protein. The vast majority of that is coming from protein supplements (I use Genepro powder) but I'm getting the rest from food. For example, lunch today was 2.5 oz of grilled Mahi Mahi and about 4 small bites of a baked potato. All in all I've had 17g of carbs so far today.

My surgery is soon but I cannot stand the taste of protein shakes is there anything else I can drink to get proper protein?
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. -

cutebutcrzy replied to Bamachicvsg's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have you tried Genepro? It's unflavored and doesn't change the texture of the food. I literally have been putting it in everything but my water. Herbal tea, pudding, soup, yogurt, etc. I have really big issues with food textures and it's been great. I agree that I can't handle the taste of any of the other protein drinks. They make me want to gag. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app -
3 days post OP- nausea, dry heaving, incision pain, not eating...
cutebutcrzy replied to Bamachicvsg's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yesterday I actually felt like I had a more difficult time getting in the correct number fluids than day 1 and 2 as well as more pain at the large incision. A nurse I spoke with said some people have more pain etc days 3-6 so hopefully it will get better soon. I've just been adding Genepro to Crystal light to get in some protein.

Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability
Serengirl replied to FluffyChix's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Honestly IF still works for me even though I have protein coffee in the am because I have to have it- life is too sad without it so this is what I do. (I am trying to have lemon water when I wake and then coffee but we’ll see). I have either coffee with premier shake as a creamer or I make a latte and add genepro protein to it and some collagen. I sip that over the morning and don’t eat anything until about 2-3 pm ish and then I try to get all of my food in within 4 hours and then rest of the day it’s water... before surgery in order to lose enough weight to get approved for surgery I did the above routine too but the difference is on some days I ate one giant salad/ lunch - whatever I wanted - within 60-90 min and still had AM protein coffee and I lost a big chunk of weight. Right now I exercise and weight list so much I’m struggling between not knowing if I am having too few calories especially since my IF window feels short considering how hard it is to get my cals in within that time. Anyway I think IF still works even if you have your coffee in AM with stuff in it. IMHO -

Favorite Flavorless Protein Powder?
Slimming Down Steve replied to PlanetHopper's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would say your pretty safe there. I actually have a 60 servings bag of it and, I'm planning on using it with my decaffeinated coffee and coffee mate sugar fee fat free creamer ( it's great). I tried it about a month ago when I received the Genepro. Found out about the lawsuit after purchasing. Will say one thing good. Works well in my coffee. Wife even likes it. Hope this helps you. -
Favorite Flavorless Protein Powder?
catchthewind replied to PlanetHopper's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like Genepro. It has no taste and practically no texture. I'm going to stick with it. Given the law suit about protein content, I'm figuring about 15 gm per scoop rather than 30 until I hear otherwise. Sent from my SM-T820 using BariatricPal mobile app -
Favorite Flavorless Protein Powder?
Slimming Down Steve replied to PlanetHopper's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Genepro just loss a law suit. They are comparing the products30 grams a serving to others 33.3 gram scoops. 1 tbsp has 14.3 grams in a tablespoon. Couldn't prove with science how 30 grams gets squeezed into 14.3 grams. So each scoop max would be 14.3 grams at the most. The products 14.3 grams may be as absorbing as well as 30 grams, I think not. That's why they got sued. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app -

I have only tried Genepro, but it seems to work well in my recipes that I have tried. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K6OSDYA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 -
December Surgery dates???
shrinkingkris replied to Kimmerz23's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks everyone! The nausea has subsided, I really got nauseous when they had given me the dilaudid for pain. I’m home now, took an oral dilaudid and it didn’t do much for pain. Had picked up some liquid Tylenol and gas-x, trying to get the Tylenol down now but gosh is that stuff disgusting 🤮! Suture sites are very sore and have a bit of a headache. Very bloated, but not gassy. The largest incision site was bleeding a little bit so I put a large bandage over it. Still getting up to walk as much as possible. Had about 2.5 oz of broth w/ a small amount of genepro around 430. Going to try a SF ice pop before bed. hope everyone is doing well! -

I bought the genepro at the suggestion of my daughter but have not used it yet. So far I am able to get the premier shakes down but think I will need something when I go to 1 shake a day in a few weeks. -

try genepro its the life savor .. its powder no flavor mix it in your food soups drinks cook with it anyway you can use it one small scoop is 30 grams protein 🙂🙂🙂 -
I'm right there with you. Protein water and really, shakes, make me gag right now for some reason. My saving grace has been adding Genepro to soups and sugar-free hot chocolate. I also couldn't stomach the traditional protein shakes for some reason, so I switched to one cup of skim milk with Carnation Instant Breakfast Light Start (no added sugar), with a scoop of Genepro. That packs a protein punch of over 35 grams. You can add it to anything. I haven't tried adding it to regular water, though. I personally have a Moroccan Mint green tea bag in my water bottle and I sip that all day without a problem. I think the mint calms my stomach.

buy genepro its no flavored protein powder u can mix in drinks food anything one small scoop is 30 grams protein its a life savor -
I'm feeling pretty good. I did set a water reminder on the baritastic app, but I'm pretty good a sipping throughout the day. I have a long way to go on liquids and was not tolerating protein shakes very well, so I've switched to Carnation no added sugar added to 1 cup skim milk and I add a scoop of Genepro to it to make it a protein bomb. It isn't as sweet or thick as my protein shakes. I have also added Genepro to thinned soups and yogurt, so it helps me to meet my protein goal of 70 grams. I have a few teaspoons of this a few times a day. It's nice to feel like I'm eating real food.
