Bread cheese, string cheese, grilled seafood, sashimi, raw oysters, edamame, occasionally pork clouds (pork rinds made with olive oil and low processing) for a snack, unflavored Protein GENEPRO in my coffee are some of my favorites... I don't like turkey, chicken very much. I wish I did. I don't like any Protein shakes or Protein Bars but it's mainly because I've always had an anti-sweet tooth.

Frustr8 replied to ZGal's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
And I , my little friend, am 8 months a week from Monday, a RNY bypass, and I have not dumped even once. Oh perhaps I have led a charmed life that it hasn't happened. But I used to have an appetite that knew no bounds. I would watch TV with a Family sized bag of Conn's. Honey +bar-b-que chips and eat them all. Conn's is one of our Central Ohio brands, cheaper, thinner chips, no saturated fats in their oil. Head office I believe is Zanesville Ohio. The fact that are so well made does not excuse the fact I ate too many at one sitting. At any rate I do not have a raging appetite any more,in fact I truly have no desire,to eat. Nothing really sounds good, oh I do have my soups, varying from bone broths clear up to my cheesy soup. Usually make it with potatoes, last time I put broccoli in it instead. Made my dietician groan but my pouch and I like that kind of stuff. I add Genepro protein to items I think don't have enough naturally. And depending on next blood draw, we will see if I have any deficencies vitamin -wise. I had an Iron infusion in March, need to see if that's holding or will I require another? PCP said I might have them every 90 days, but it all depends on how. blood levels are. -
We are so similar! I am 6 1/2 weeks out! Usually do a premier shake for lunch and GENEPRO mixed with something for Breakfast ( yuck) ... Yes- I only eat 4-6 bites. And I have also been stalled for about 4 weeks! ( well one pound last time I weighed - which was two weeks ago) total weight lost last time I weighed was 25 ( including pre op diet ) - wow! So similar Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Talk to me about purees...
gina171 replied to leebick's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I loved cheesy cauliflower. Cook/steam cauliflower til very soft, toss it while hot into food processor, add shredded or sliced cheese, and whip it up. You can add GENEPRO Protein powder if you want to up the protein. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Can you try a little refried beans mixed with GenePro? My husband and I never puréed anything . We mashed with a fork and took tiny bites. Chili was our favorite. You can add GenePro to a small bowl of lowfat chili. There are so many options. I wish you well and hope you know This is a phase and it gets wonderfully better. We are post sleeve three years, never struggled, still drinking Premier Protein shakes, still eating almost zero carbs, and it is just a way of life. I sure wish you the best!

I'm going to start soft tofu, blended legumes, eggs, fish, special k protein cereal softened with almond milk. I. Also going to try green smoothies with protein powder. Also veggie burgers if I chew them up real good. Also soft cheese -
Easter... What the heck am I gonna do!?
SassyNanny replied to bigguy928's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sleeved Nov 18. For thanksgiving I had a quarter cup of mashed potatoes thinned out with gravy to a soupy consistency. It was delicious after several days of sweet Protein drinks and juice. Of course it gave me the runs. For Christmas at 6 weeks out I had some mashed potatoes and a couple of bites of cheesecake. I loved the smells of the prime rib but had absolutely no desire to eat any. I go to restaurants with friends all the time. Last night before the theater we went to an Italian place. I ordered caprese salad. I ate a slice of tomato and all the slices of fresh mozzarella cheese with balsamic. My friends had full meals and lots of bread. No one even noticed what I ate or didn't eat. I had absolutely no desire to have bread and the only thing I felt jealous about was their ability to drink something while they are eating their meal. I'm not trying to be strong, I really have no desire. Once you realize how little you can eat you will find that no matter what your triggers are you can't do much about it. During the rare celebration times (3) I have had small amounts of cake. Baby shower I split a small cupcake with another guest. It didn't make me sick. It didn't make me crave sweets. If it did either of those things I would just skip it now. I swear I am not struggling with the desire. Who am I??? I love it. There is always something on a menu that will work so I can eat out and not feel stressed out. I've split meals with friends and then eaten half of my half. At 4 months I can eat a little more. Sometimes I can eat a small chicken breast in one sitting. I'm saving so much money on food it is unreal!! Good luck with the holiday. Whatever phase your Dr has you on just pick a food that fits that category. Scalloped potatoes? Eat your serving size of 1/4-1/2 cup and stop. I took my vanilla premier Protein Drink at Christmas and heated it up with a little nutmeg on top and felt like I was having hot eggnog. Try adding unflavored Protein powder ( I get GENEPRO on Amazon)to your Water with Mio or Crystal Light drops in it. No one knows that you aren't having a cocktail. Eat before you go and again when you get home to finish up your protein. You got this! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Genepro sold at gnc and amazon is really good in hot beverages, soups it will turn clear liquids kinda milky but to me there is hardly any taste. Never tried it in straight water though. Keep hot liquids unDer 140degrees Fahrenheit

April 30 surgery update from hospital room.
NewNewMe replied to NewNewMe's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
One week and one day out. No more pain. Never had nausea. I can't stand protein shakes now. I am using genepro to get my protein in. Mixing it diet juice or creamy soups. I'm not hungry at all. I slept on my side again last night which was heavenly. -
I have really started learning the real difference between head hunger and real hunger since being sleeved on Wednesday. Many times I thought I was starving, had about 6 spoonfuls of broth, and was STUFFED! It's learning to fight the head hunger now. Please don't risk testing your new stomach too early. Is it really worth ending up back in the hospital for another surgery? I ordered genepro protein that is supposed to be here tomorrow. It's supposed to be tasteless that you can just add to regular drinks and it's not supposed to be clumpy. I'll let everyone know how it is!

I am doing great. Surgery went well, Recovery has been fairly easy. Haven't had pain meds in a week. Been walking everyday. I'm amazed how little I can eat now. Even on liquids, I get full so fast. It's crazy. I'm down 10 pounds since surgery. I'm looking forward to getting off straight liquids! I've struggled with protein drinks since surgery. They are just all too sweet. But, I found Genepro protein and it has saved me! All in all, no regrets. So happy I did this and can't wait to see more results.

The old stuff about GENEPRO. It can't be all be bad for sure. It would be pulled off the market!! If you check even BARIATRICPAL sells t on this site. I think this conversation has been a long drawn out thing. Check with your team ask them about GENEPRO.

I am now using GenePro. No flavor I can detect, so one very small scoop in V8 works great. I do not like the milky taste of Bariatric Advantage. Right now I am adding Hershey's Unsweetened COcoa Powder with barely any calories, and. truvia, to shakes. By far my favorite protest shake.

I use GENEPRO. It has no taste for me in hot drinks or thicker drinks. It also mixed well in oatmeal.

Does your Protein powder taste like it has a medicinal taste? I use unjury which I find very pleasant tasting. Another benefit is that it has 100% protein isolate, which is the protein most absorbable. Another brand that is all isolate and a good taste are Syntrax nectar. I haven't tasted GENEPRO but heard it is tasty also.

I am in no way a vendor or affiliated with the GENEPRO company. I do agree with you about all the reviews not only for this product but others as well. But I took a chance with Genepro, I must say I was very impressed. I 3 vendors took the bag to my ARNPC who is my program coordinator. We sit and looked up each ingredient she was impressed with it as well. Her only concern was one of the ingredients is used to treat anarexia. She advised just to be vigilant about watching your weight and not using it as your soul source of Protein. I first tried it in just plain Water to test the no taste and no smell. I mixed on scoop with 16 Oz of water. It doesn't dissolve real quickly but it does. It looks like water downed milk in the water. But for me there was no smell and no real taste in the water. But you do have to keep it stirred up cuz if not then it might be a little gritty but still no taste. The $38 is a little pricy but average price for a decent Protein powder. So anyways that's my opinion of it and I currently use I scoop a day. Again I have nothing to do with the company and this is just on own personal review.

Hi! I am scheduled for a gastric sleeve next month on March 24 and I live in Sweden -I'm from Florida originally : )) . My husband is traveling to Texas the week before my surgery so I am making a shopping list for him of things to get for after my surgery. A lot of items I read about on this forum are not available here in Sweden. I'm so thankful for everyone posting here on BariatricPal as the info you get here in Sweden for after the surgery is very minimal. They stitch your incisions up and send you out the next day with some very basic guidelines for eating and drinking. Have check ups at 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year and then yearly after that for life. It's very different here...!! If you have any recommendations or something that you think really helped please reply! Here's the list: Gas X Strips (will ask my husband to buy several boxes as my friend with IBS is very eager to try this too! haha) GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder (how long does a bag last?) Chewable Vitamins (?? so many brands) Chewable Calcium (Viaktiv??) sublingual B12 (here you get pills) Biotin (figure it can't hurt) Tightening moisturizer Aveeno (worth a try!) Crystal Light Cream of Wheat

Making a Shopping List for US Visit
Bufflehead replied to MadameX's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Personally I would get some protein powder in addition to Genepro, if you can't find what you need in Sweden. I don't trust that stuff, it seems very shady to me. Also, I am not sure you can buy Genepro in brick and mortar stores, it may be only online. Cream of Wheat -- do you really want this? It's empty carbs. Why not stick with eating high protein foods? Chewable vitamins -- if your husband is near a Trader Joe's, their chewable High Potency multi-vitamins are great and very inexpensive! Any chewable calcium should be calcium citrate. Viactiv is calcium carbonate, which most bariatric surgeons say should be avoided as post-sleeve patients don't absorb it well. You may also want to look into liquid calcium citrate, which may be easier to find. I think Wellesse brand liquid calcium citrate is available at GNC, Kroger, Walmart, and some other stores. Do you like peanut butter? If so, maybe have your husband pick up some PB2 if you can't get it in Sweden. It's good to mix into shakes, yogurt, and cottage cheese for some extra flavor, protein, and fiber. Can you get sugar free fiber powder in Sweden? If not, that might be something to consider having him get as well. Good luck! I am sure you will do great. -
Why don't more people use Genepro?
built2livenotexist replied to NewMeLinZ's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm not sure why more people don't use Genepro, but I love it. I've been using it since after surgery and so far so good. It may be because you have to order it online and some folks don't want to wait. I've seen skeptics and downright haters of this particular product because it seems unbelievable to them that it could do what it claims to do. Kinda like my grandmother the first time she saw me with a cell phone. -
I know there's a lot of controversy around GENEPRO, but my surgeon's office recommends it. And I love it.

I am also 8 days post-op and have had up and down feelings. However, I try to remind myself that I just had major surgery and give myself a break. I had a dog which helps me get up and out. But then I do get tired and have had challenges of getting my liquids and protein. So i drink a glass of milk in the morning w Genepro which is unflavored and a great tri-peptide protein source. That helps because without protein we will feel tired. Friends who have had this surgery tell me to take it easy because we really do need to heal first. Depression can come too just because of the physical and hormonal changes so I'm actually sitting at my acupuncturist waiting for my appointment It's amazing how much this helps. Take care all and enjoy the holidays!!

Protein drinks are nasty. I only drank the necessary amount during pre-diet and the few weeks after surgery. I have not touched them since. Fortunately my doctor does not want me to use them at all now. My NUT tells me I should be eating my protein not drinking it. Of course early on you can't but that's such a short period of your life even though it feels like an eternity when you are in the middle of it. Premier Choc and Vanilla were my faves. But the Genepro unflavored was great because I would add it to homemade chicken and beef stock and it was delicious. It saved me because I could eat it with a spoon and felt like food but took care of my fluid requirements at the same time.

No Flavor Protein Powder
coastalchick replied to MommyRedmond's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use Genepro, and the stuff us amazing. No taste, and only about a tablespoon worth equals about 30 grams of protein. You can buy it in amazon. .. it also mixes great with hot foods and liquids with no clumping. -
No Flavor Protein Powder
orionova replied to MommyRedmond's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's pretty simple. You cannot get 30 grams of something in only 15 grams. Genepro claim that the 10 grams you get is equivilent to thirty grams of protein because of the way it's absorbed. And it says that it is absorbed in the area of the intestines that gets cut out in RNY. I don't know about other surgeries because I don't have any experience with those. So even if the thirty grams of protein is true, you still can't absorb it properly if it does get absorbed in the upper part of the intestines like they say. By all means, use it if you want. But don't count it as thirty grams of protein.
