I can not go above 600 cal. usually between 470 - 600 per day . My surgeon was Dr. Nguyen. My starting weight 334 lbs, surgery weight 311, todays weight 283 lbs , total lost 51lbs, 23 pre-op and 28 post op. I do recall that I was really scared, I am not a fan of surgeries but the anesthesia kicked in and the surgery happened. I was told that it was like 90 minutes, the doctor called my family as well the recovery nurse they kept them informed all the way. I woke up in the recovery room, they have around 2 people per nurse. I actually felt ok no pain or nausea, the nurse told me that she was surprised as almost everyone will wake up with nausea. From there they wait until I actually was able to walk and go to the bathroom and then I was moved to the room upstairs. I was given morphine and something for the nausea on the IV. Pain was bearable I was encouraged to walk as soon as possible I did and it was ok no pain at all . I was release from the hospital after one night with some acid reducers and pain medication. I trew up once while in the hospital and once at home beside that nothing much to say. I am very tolerant to pain so my recollection might not be the normal What was more difficult was to find a protein powder that I do like, I end up doing some research and the only ones that I do like is Genepro which I order in amazon and premier protein which i do get at cotsco , this week I started to eat soft foods which made a huge difference as I do not depend as much on protein powder. I also started taking prune juice diluted to avoid constipation which helped greatly. Recovery was uneventful , I felt very tired the second week I had to take naps after that the third week I was back to normal What I can tell is while I was scared I have followed every instruction from the doctor and dietician the weight keeps melting and also the pain, I had knee, ankle and shoulder pains due to my weight , it has been the best decision ever . This Friday I have an appointment for follow up with my dietician , I hope it goes ok.

Can't get protein shake down
Mandybb replied to SleevedinSI's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used GenePro when I couldn't keep the protein shakes down. It's unflavored and I used to add it to diet Snapple peach tea. Tasted good to me but you can add it to anything. No lumps or thickness. -
January thread for Dec. 2016 bypass
dballard replied to TXJess's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had surgery on Jan 10. Could not stand any of the protein shakes. Dr recommended Genepro I get on Amazon. Mix in my water and has no taste. I get 30 grams of protein twice a day with it. I would not be able to get all my protein in without it. -
More milk or water?
bossportsgal replied to kkami12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like genepro unflavored and PB 2 powdered peanut butter. But remember unflavored still has a little flavor. I tried a few and like genepro best. -
I had a similar problem post op. Didn't mind the shakes before surgery but after they make me wanna vomit. My go to is 8-10 oz milk plus a scoop of GENEPRO flavorless protein (30 grams of protein). Mix and serve.

I do 8-10 ounces of milk with a serving of genepro each morning instead of a shake. It's not too sweet.

I was sleeved on 12/21 and have lost 31 lbs since then. I also have a stair-step pattern of weight loss - lose, lose, lose, stall, lose, lose, lose, stall. I am really big on hitting my Protein goal of at least 60g per day and I track everything I eat in My Fitness Pal. I eat small "snacks" every 2-3 hours. I have been in physical therapy to rehab a bad knee that is preventing me from engaging in most cardio exercise, so I have NOT been very physically active at all, but working toward getting there. Here's what I eat in a typical day - usually between 800-1,000 cals. Breakfast - Danon Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt mixed with 1 scoop Genepro Protein powder Snack - String cheese + mandarin orange lunch - Small cup of chicken chili Snack - 1/4 c. tuna salad spread on three wheat crackers dinner - 1/4 c. Bolognese sauce over "zoodles" Snack - chocolate protein powder smoothie mixed with light almond milk and 1 TBS Peanut Butter HW - 270 SW - 244 CW - 213 5'5"

Solids soon... help!
janedoe92 replied to janedoe92's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Same here, the only one I can tolerate is genepro, and even that is beginning to make me gag. That's why I can't wait to be able to try some protein bars. -
You best bet is to mix protein powders in with broth, strained soups (if allowed), etc. Genepro is unflavored and mixes in pretty well.
-
I had the same problem. Now I do 8-10 oz 1% milk plus 1 scoop GENEPRO (30 grams of protein) flavorless Protein powder. Love this combo. Not sweet. Filling.
-
See if she'll give you a bottle to try. I bought some and never drank them. Most of them are like 15 G protein in 20 oz. to drink 20 oz post op to get 15 g of protein was too much for me. I preferred to put 30 gram genepro powder in 8-10 oz of milk abs be done with it. Just me though.
-
Post op I didn't tolerate the shakes well, just too sweet. I'm 4 months post op and my main protein before back on normal food was 10 oz 1% milk + 1 scoop genepro flavorless protein powder (30+ grams of protein). Still my go to when I need protein.

On the go cheese - babybel, laughing cow, cheese sticks Jerky Lunchables (don't eat the crackers) Okios triple zero yogurts (cup or drink) Ready to drink Protein drinks High protein chips/crackers like Quest, WonderSlim, Medifast etc. I make unflavored Protein added puddings and Gelatin. You can buy 2-5oz cups and lids at your local restaurant supply store. At home meals I've made shrimp (ground) curry with zucchini, chicken and cheese stuffed crepes, Korean bbq, swai with again glaze, crust less quiche. They all have 300cals or less per serving with 17g protein or more. Homemade protein fudgecicles 12oz fairlife milk and 2 scoops GENEPRO. Mix well and pour into 6 pack 3oz popcicle mold. Makes 6 serving 54 cals and 10g protein. Can add in things like PB2, banana baby food, instant coffee, sugar free syrups or ground freeze dried strawberries for only a few more cals and carbs.

I'm wondering if anyone (when allowed) switched out shakes for bars to meet their requirements? I'm thinking I would want to because I've been unsuccessful in the shake department, except for genepro, and when I am able to, want to switch to bars instead. Any insight? Pros and cons? Thanks in advance!!

Pure Protein Bars
Martha Parker-mcneal replied to snapy17's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
no the pure [Protein are wonderful it is the GENEPRO brand that has the law suit as I understand it. still good product but they were inflating the amount of protein in their products. sorry I was not clearer -
This might sounds strange but I just put almost anything I was craving into a blender- 7 layer dip, clam chowder, white bean and ham stew, turkey/potatoes/gravy, etc. I added broth and GENEPRO to everything and it was so much better than boring shakes or standard soups!

What are you eating for a low carb breakfast?
trekker954 replied to TheRevisionedVagabond's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I pretty much have a Greek omlet every day. Stir up small amount each onion, spinach, tomato, one egg, add sprinkle of get cheese. Pinch salt and pepper. I may switch up the cheese or vegetables. I also have genepro with my morning cup of coffee first thing when I wake up. I feel if I start my day right I'll stay on plan. -
Protein recommendations!
Kee replied to TheRevisionedVagabond's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know many have said it before, but I would be lost without GENEPRO. I put it in everything I eat. You won't regret it! -
Last Friday at 12:30pm I had my vsg procedure. Everything went smooth. I was walking within 30 minutes, and sipping Water. I was released around 6pm. The first evening was a bit painful from the gas, and I slept in a recliner. I was able to sip on more water. Day 2 similar in gas pain. Gas X and walking helped a lot. I have no issues getting 60 - 70 oz of liquids. I primarily drink water, but like the sugar free Popsicles, Jello and broth. My only issue now is lower back pain. I have an appointment with my pcp today, so I will inquire with her. I have no issues with getting in Protein. Right now I'm using EAS shakes (vanilla & chocolate), and typically in the morning I have a premier shake from Walmart. I like to start with premier because it has 30g of protein. I add GENEPRO Protein powder to broth, and have made up a blender concoction with it. My blender drink is ice, skim milk (3oz), genepro (tsp), and chocolate EAS shake. I am currently down 18lbs. This may sound like a lot, but my doctor didn't have the pre op diet. So I'm prepared for it to slow down soon. Height 6'7 SW 372 CW 354 GW 260 SW 372 GW 260

Sleeved October 25th, am I on track?
Jdserra replied to afriendnwv's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved 10/24 ...my weight slowed down to almost none the past two weeks. Sw235 Cw185. I started boot camp two weeks ago. So maybe just gaining muscle. I use GenePro for most of my protein intake since I can't stand shakes. I think we need to start paying more attention to our inches lost at this point.

Protein recommendations!
Jdserra replied to TheRevisionedVagabond's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use GenePro in my coffee every morning. You have to add in this order to prevent clumping. GenePro, creamer then coffee. My creamer is cold to it controls the the temp and prevents clumping. I also use a self stirring mug (check eBay for them) blends it perfect! No protein taste and it starts the day off with a little less than 30g! Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App -
I started the liquid diet today. So far I'm doing really well. I had a premiere protein shake(caramel) I added 1 scoop of genepro and topped it off with some coffee. That took me up until a little after 10 a.m. I started at 8:30 a.m. I'm not hungry but I have some Gatorade2 lime that I've been sipping on. I have some jello for lunch. I'm not supposed to start the diet until next Wednesday on the 22nd. However, I want to start early so that I can get the most out of my sleeve. Surgery is on March 1st.

I couldn't tolerate any unflavored, until genepro. I have added to oatmeal, coffee, crystal light... It's worth trying! -
Protein recommendations!
TheRevisionedVagabond posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've just hit 5 weeks post op & cant seem to shake this stall for crap! Its been ongoing for about 2 weeks now & it's frustrating but I KNOW I'm not getting in the recommended Protein. Please suggest some protein brands & flavours you use to help get your goal in! I've tried the Syntrax nectar but only Fuzzy Navel & Carribean Cooler. Wasn't a fan of the former, but the latter is really good! I'm not looking for something with a weird after taste or anything like that. Bonus points if I can put it in Water (to make a protein rich "crystal light") or even if it's *truly* unflavoured. (Heard about GENEPRO but don't know much about them) Lay them on me!
