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
Tomo replied to Christina Phillips's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Genepro and if you want vegan then soy protein isolate (by bulksupplement). I use both. Sent from my SM-N986U using BariatricPal mobile app -
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? -

Full liquid suggestions?
PorkChopExpress replied to mollydeez's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There are other options for protein. Get some of the flavorless powder like Genepro and mix it with other liquid stuff you're eating, like yogurt or even Crystal Light. It works well and gives you a nice change from those shakes. I agree, after four weeks of almost nothing but shakes, I was ready to be done with them. -

unflavored protein powder recommendations?
Miss Topaz posted a topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Hey all - less than a month out from surgery and looking to prep. Reviewing the NUT info, they recommend mixing unflavored protein powder in things like applesauce or yogurt during the pureed stage. Tells me to look for powders with at least 15g protein and less than 3 g sugar. Had been looking at syntrax, but that's only 10g protein. Any recommendations? I've heard of genepro and isopure. Haven't found a local GNC yet (moved a year ago and haven't needed one til now) but have been browsing amazon. Thanks! -
My head is so foggy I can't get my **** together. Help, please?
Yaberhoo replied to glitterpockets's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
First of all, be gentle to yourself during this hard time. You have just experienced a tragedy and you are in shock. Forgive yourself for being spacey and allow yourself to grieve. Protein. I hate all the Protein shakes I have tried so far. I use GENEPRO and mix it with sugar free hot chocolate or a cream based Soup. It's whey and unflavored (but not tasteless) so the milk based foods hide it better. You need to use a thermometer to keep the liquid below 140 degrees or the Proteins start to congeal like fried egg. Vitamins. I found a one a day Vitamin specifically for bariatric patients on Amazon. It's called Bariatric Once-A-Day by Prohealth. -
Update on OCt sleevers.....
TerminiNutrition replied to ppressey24's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
One serving of GENEPRO is roughly 10g of Protein, not 30. It is scientifically impossible and this is now proven. Please use with caution. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
@@mBig If you do try Genepro, I would just caution that you should still only count it as 15 grams of protein. It's not physically possibly to fit 30 grams of protein into 15 grams of powder. Their argument is that your body absorbs their protein better, so it's the "equivalent" of 30 grams of protein. Since they aren't regulated by the FDA and there have been no third party studies to prove or discredit their claims, you should take them with a grain of salt. If they are right and your body doe utilize and absorb more of their protein, then all the better. But if they are wrong and you are actually coming up 15 grams short every day, that could add up to a large deficiency over time.

Advice on getting in the protein
Christina.Rose replied to Resha's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Genepro is a tasteless protein powder that mixes into anything for 30 grams of protein in one tablespoon full. Add the powder into a small beverage twice a day and you will hit the protein mark. For hot liquids, dissolve and mix it in cold before heating or its clumpy. -
Avoid Genepro, it is crap and was successfully sued for false claims of "medical grade protein" and the claimed 30 grams of protein. It is actually been proven in court that it is only 11 grams. https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/19892822/SI03,_Inc_v_Musclegen_Research,_Inc

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 -
Protein Powder?!?
theantichick replied to Heatgirl03's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There's a lively debate about whether the science is valid or not, but I've found that GENEPRO mixes up easier than the other brands I've tried, and if you believe the hype it's the equivalent of 30g of Protein in 1 tablespoon instead of 2 tablespoons. But even if you count it only as 15g having it mix up better is worth it to me. Beyond that, my next fave is Syntrax unflavored. -

GENEPRO tasteless Protein powder has no texture- try that! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Has anyone tried the new Genepro, 3rd generation, sold in the orange canister? I was disappointed the old one (sold in white bags) is gone, as it was the only unflavored protein powder I couldn’t taste nor smell. Others make me nauseous. I read bad reviews of the new formula on Amazon so wanted to see if anyone here has experience with it. Thanks! Edit: upon reading the fine print, the new version has a larger scoop and only a third of the protein of the old version. Not just bad volume wise, but also nutritionally and pricewise. Looks like I will need to find the old version or use a different brand from now on.

Protein Ideas? HELP! 2 weeks post
champagne301 replied to nanno90's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm only out 2 or so weeks too, but these have saved me so far, Unflavored Genepro - It's only 1T and gives 30 grams of protein, and I mix it into jello, chicken broth or creamed soups. I also do Syntrax's Nectar and Matrix brand protein powder drinks...I found one that I absolutely LOVE, Matrix Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie. It tastes like a shamrock shake, and I could drink this every day w/o issues! I'm sure other's will have great ideas too, Good luck! -
Opinions in Genepro protein powder?
Tiredofsitting replied to Thinkingthinner1109's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used Premier shakes before my sleeve surgery but could not tolerate the sweetness post surgery so I began using GENEPRO...it saved me and almost 6 months out I use it in my Crystal Light as my workout drink for some extra kick......had my first post op bloodwork and everything was perfect. Love my Genepro, I don't see myself without in the near future. -
Hi guys. How do I mix GENEPRO into hot decaf coffee without it being grainy? Also can I ditch the shakes since I use genepro now? I really don't like the shakes anymore. Sent from my Nexus 5 using the BariatricPal App

Can hardly eat or drink - UGI x-ray scheduled
tarotcardreader replied to LAJ23's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
hi. i was pretty il in the hospital and had that nasty test done. lol. Including pic for exact wording of test i had. you drink really putrid cup of yuck. They have you standing against this thing which turns out that it lifts you in air and goes in different laying positions etc. then when its done it returns you to standing, It was very unpleasant. Very. On mine it said i had an ileus which meant something was still sleeping or something like that. I had my surgery on aug 28. I was in hospital for 4 days and the nurse wanted to stay longer because of ileus. but the surgeon said it was cool to go home so i went with that and am sleeping in my own bed. I did alot of regurging shakes and weird noises were coming from my pouch while trying shakes. once on puree this got so much better mainly because right now i am not drinking shakes. i know i am below all my protein and water goal but i try everyday as a new day. i plan to try to get my protein mostly from foods. i am hoping my pouch will get up to 3 oz so i can eat 3 eggs which is 21g protein and that would help. i thought about getting some unflavored protein (genepro etc) and using it. If it is a shake allergy of whey try premier protein its milk protein. There are other options out there. good luck at the test it made me so much more nauseas. just try to hang in there and dont give up 👯♂️ -

Thanks for sharing. I am going to try GENEPRO. I've been using unjury but I can still taste it and it's not as much Protein and seems to be more expensive. Love Amazon Prime as it should be here in 2 days. ~LA

Why are all "diet" supplements marketed like candy?
ShelterDog64 replied to Didjit's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
@@Didjit I detest the flavored Protein powders, other than a coffee/protein combo I get from Click. I have that one and a canister of GENEPRO and that's it. I've given all the flavored ones (chocolate Splendor, for real???) to others in my support group. I find the belief, by the companies that make this stuff, that cramming in Desserts is what WLS patients are looking for almost offensive. -
Recovery time for intense workouts & Sex
BigViffer replied to Ineedhelp2014's topic in The Guys’ Room
There is no way around it, you will lose muscle mass. I know I lost quite a bit. There is just no way during the rapid weight loss phase to take in enough protein to keep the amount of muscle we fat guys needed just to move. The most important thing is to establish the new habits that will endure the rest of our lives (hopefully). After about 9 months, that is when I started seeing body shaping. My shoulders and arms and dare I say, my glutes, started to become more prominent. Barbells? I started those at 6 weeks. It was pitiful. 10lbs and I would literally be panting by the time I left. Luckily the gym I go to is predominately senior citizens and just a few younger people that are in shape. No one judges that I have ever noticed. There are the occasional meat heads, but other people opinions carry very little weight so I was fine ignoring them. Though I don't see them anymore. Like most meat heads, they always injure themselves doing stupid crap. I recommend finding a good whey protein powder. Don't care what it cost, as long as it is a good one. What is a good one you are probably wondering? A good protein powder is one that has about 25 grams of protein per scoop. And it can be whey isolate or concetrate, but pass on anything taurine, soy, egg, and casein. They are decent proteins, but if you want to have muscle gains, there is no disputing whey is king. Oh, and the most important thing is that it is a powder that you will actually use. There are some damned expensive powders out there that IMO taste like crap. I personally use Gold Standard. Very trusted name and fair price. Oh, don't even consider GenePro. It's is utter crap. I've said my mind about that stuff plenty so I won't go into it again. My caloric intake right now is 2000-2500 calories. My protein is 150 - 200 grams a day. Here is an example of my tracking that I do, it should give you plenty of info:
