I recently purchased Genepro from Amazon.com and so far I like it. It has no smell or taste. 1 tablespoon is 30 g protein. You can put on hot or cold liquids or mix in foods.

Protein Shake Questions
Kindle replied to MOMMY2MGM's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Syntax nectar is like koolaid...comes in grape, cherry. Lemonade, iced tea, peach, orange and apple flavors (probably even more). And all very yummy. There are also several other Protein powder options out there besides chocolate.....cake batter, vanilla, banana, piña colada, cupcake, coffee, etc. You can add various Torani or Davinci syrups to Vanilla protein for almost unlimited flavor options...... Hazelnut, almond, raspberry, gingerbread, pumpkin pie, English toffee, etc. Muscle Milk, Quest, Syntrax and BSN Syntha 6 are all brands I like. As for GENEPRO, it is a highly modified molecule put out by a company that also sells "male enhancement" and "miracle" performance supplements. I have yet to find any independent research study that supports the manufacturer's claims. I consider it just another fad like so many failed weight loss pills and supplements. I'd rather stick with products that contain real protein. -
there has been a lot of discussions about genepros protein and it's small serving size. I haven't tried it so maybe I will get a sample or too. thanks for sharing.

Sami got her GENEPRO samples, she made a shake this AM, and loved it!!! No taste, no smell and does not change the consistency of what you add it to. You can also sprinkle it on your food! 1 Tbs, is 30 grams of protein!!! You have to google the site that sells it!! Genepro.com Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Protein shakes
TEXASLADY52 replied to weightloss4liss's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
GENEPRO http://www.musclegen.net/ .... this is oderless and tasteless and does not clump. You can add it to hot or cold....or just sprinkle over your food. This stuff is great. One tablespoon equals a scoop of whey and has 30 grams of Protein. It is approved by John Hopkins and has 96% absorbtion. You can also order it from Amazon. I go by every morning to a shake shop....get a Chunky Monkey (35 grams of protein).....add a scoop of Genepro (30 grams of protein)....mid morning I fix a Crystal Light and add another scoop.....I already have 95 grams for the day!!! I too never had a problem with protein shakes before the surgery.....I got where I could not choke one down and was averaging (if I was lucky) 30 grams of protein a day before I heard of Genepro. I tried ISOPURE and first thought they were great.....then I started adding Crystal light to them where I could drink them but they left such an after taste. I tried everything.....contact the website and they will send you a sample. -
Can I see a menu please?
QueenOfTheTamazons replied to WitchySar's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Do you still have genepro and have you tried fairlife milk? Together they make a pretty decent Protein shake. I have what we jokingly refer to as "pregnancy nose" ALL THE TIME. It sucks, and makes drinking protein shakes icky because all I smell is the protein. I discover that the fairlufe chocolate covers the protein taste and smell really well and is ~200cals and 43g protein in an 8oz shake, thou I like to add 5-8oz ice to make it more shake like. Another option is bariatric food. WonderSlim is a brand I like. I will sometimes use 8 oz fairlife non fat with their creamy hot chocolate. It is also ~200 Cal's and is 30g protein. I can also hide half a serving of genepro into a container of oikios triple zero. HW 385 SW 359 CW 305 Sleeved 10/5/16 -
Can't take enough fluids :(
BLERDgirl replied to naan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Kindle gave some good suggestions. As for where to buy unflavored Protein there are brands such as Prosource, GENEPRO and Isopure. Prosource and Genepro are available online only as afar as I know, but Isopure can be purchased at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. All 3 can be mixed with cold or hot beverages. Do not get discouraged if you don't like the first Protein Drink you buy or even the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. I went through several before I found protein I liked that didn't trigger my allergies. Water is important, but as long as you get in some type of fluids, you won't get dehydrated. However you have to get in something. Don't suffer with a beverage you can't stand. -
Can't take enough fluids :(
Kindle replied to naan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used Un jury unflavored protein and you can mix it in anything up to 140 degrees. That was warm enough for me. supposedly genepro can be mixed with anything at any temperature. Never tried it. And I rarely cook, much less make soup, so they all came from a can, box or whatever the daily specials were at the local deli or soup/salad bar at the whole food store. -
Best protein drinks? Clear, whey powders, and liquids?
puttingme1st replied to joliemarie88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Genepro protein has saved me since surgery as I could not handle the sweetness of the shakes. It's tasteless and mixes well into anything. -
Getting sick of protein shakes--literally
magoosmom posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on my fourth week post op (June 21 surgery) and I have been doing fine on Protein shakes until the last few days. My diet plan called for two weeks of liquids followed by two weeks of purée (but no meats and no eggs). With two Protein Shakes a day, I was meeting my protein goal (getting close to 70 g). Now I dread drinking them. I get nauseated while drinking and even gagged this morning. I used to be able to drink all 8 oz and now I am lucky to get six in before giving up. I do the purée food at each meal but the only way to get the protein in is through the shakes. So I am pretty frustrated. Any suggestions? I do have lift drinks but not a huge fan and it takes me a long time to work through them. I have also done a scoop of GENEPRO in unsweetened iced tea.

Choosing a Protein
Navigating the Wilderness replied to faithmel's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I am getting to the point where I truly believe if you asked 100 different surgeons, you would have 100 different answers to this question. Well, maybe more depending on whom you asked in the office! So, to answer your question, I would always say the safest route is to follow what the Surgeon recommended. I know this is kind of a cop out, but if you want to be in compliance, then I seriously would consider using what they tell you to use. I was directed to use only Unjury, or Isopure. I used both, they were fine, my guess is any other legit protein maker would have been fine as well. Legit being defined as one that has at least 20g of protein per serving, and is not filled with sugar. Also excluding Genepro here, I hate to even list that product in a post, but just in case someone tells you to use it. Search the forum if you want to know why. As for the vitamins, this is even more important than the protein when it comes to following your surgeon's guidelines. Obviously you will need higher doses of vitamins than non-bariatric users to make up for what you are missing. If you want to use a different brand than what your doctor recommends, just do a nutritional label check and make sure they have the same amounts of vitamins. Of course, not all vitamins are created equal either, even if they say they have the same Daily Value percentage. So, once again, especially in the beginning, stick to what the surgeon recommended. Congrats on your first steps in this journey. I wish you many successes in the future!! -
MdmMardott. Which unflavored protein powder did you use? I tried GenePro and it was disgusting. Returned it to Amazon. Thank goodness they take returns like that. Is there one that has no horrible after taste?

Yeah lots of mixed info out there about GENEPRO. A search of the site will show it's pretty controversial. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

With all that said about GENEPRO how may I ask can they get away with stating it has 30grams when it really has 15. For myself I LOVE it!! Now I'm not just saying this like I am new at this Protein dilemma I'm 3 years out. I started my Preop diet of Protein drinks for 2 weeks and my postop I used PREMUIR Protein drinks. I had 4 weeks of BACK DOOR TROTS!! I became Lactose Intolerant. On to trying to find a drink that I liked. I would honestly hate to find out how much money I had spent on protein junk!! So this GENEPRO is the only one that has lived up to the no taste thing!! For one thing, I am a coffee drinker so I make me a cup of Keurig espresso coffee and I add GENEPRO to it!! No change in taste or texture. I would drink my coffee anyway so for me it is a WIN WIN!!

Protein Shake problem
gwbicster replied to Jerseygirl21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not sure if you are aware of the controversy regarding Genepro, just FYI. I am a user and am happy with it, BUT... It is physically impossible for 30 grams of anything in a tablespoon. The real figure is 15 grams. However, Genepro claims a propriatary formula which allows for better absorption of the protein which is equivalent to 30 grams of the competitor's formula. Many people think this is poppycock. I have read the documentation and tend to believe it is at least in part possible. However, they are being sued for false advertising. Just a FYI. Buyer beware. -

What do you “EAT”
RickM replied to Excitedforthesleeve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Protein drinks are the staple early out; I would avoid that Genepro stuff as it neatly fits into the "too good to be true" miracle supplement scam category (and nobody really knows what it is.) Whey protein, preferably whey isolate, is the well accepted, best absorbed form. I also had greek yogurt, eggs, and some sloppy tuna salad, though those may not be permitted on some diets the first week or two - check with your program directions. -
When does the nauseousness stop?
DarleneCh replied to Jlkhollins's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I absolutely could not do the protein drinks after surgery either. Genepro (you can buy on amazon) has been a lifesaver. Truly tasteless and it dissolves in hot tea well. It is expensive - but worth every penny to me. Good luck - I hope the nausea gets better soon. -
Post-OP Liquid Diet Phase
truckeelove replied to ready2livenow's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try GENEPRO Protein (available at Amazon). It's been a life saver for me. Mixes into anything without changing the taste or the texture and you only need to add 1 tablespoon to get 30 grams of protein! Also, if you have a Trader Joe's in your area, tgey have yummy vegetarian thin Soups like carrot ginger, roasted red pepper and tomato or butternut squash. Good luck! -
Recommendations for unflavored protein powder

Recommendations for unflavored protein powder
Esi replied to Christina Phillips's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Now that the new Genepro changed their product, I am looking for a new brand. I tried BiPro Bold and Isopure, both unflavored. Both tasted and smelled like mold and had to be discarded. Does anyone use a protein powder that is unflavored, and truly tastes and smells like nothing? -
