The need to eat until stuffed
ShelterDog64 replied to nnagle323's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@bleonhardt It doesn't change it at all, at least to my palate. I use cream in my coffee, so I mix the scoop of GENEPRO with the coffee cream, then mix that into my coffee. It's really helped me and made my weight loss more successful! -
Trouble getting protein and liquid requirement
gina171 replied to gustavio's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So...it kinda doesn't matter whether you "want" to drink Water or Protein. Its not about what you want to do at this point. It's your medicine, you have to do it. If you were taking care of a small child who didn't want to take their medicine for days, I am pretty sure you would find a way to make it happen. Sounds like you did not experiment with unflavored protein yet. Try GENEPRO, you can get it on Amazon. A very small scoop has 30g of protein, you can mix it right into that apple juice you're drinking, you won't even taste it. I have tried a lot of Proteins, and the Genepro amazes me on how easily it mixes into tea, cold drinks, pudding, anything at all. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App -

JULY SLEEVERS- How are you doing?
imightknow replied to dreamingsmall's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved the 3rd. How much food are you getting in? I just got over the 3rd week stall. The dermabond on My incisions are almost all the way gone. I honestly feel great, for the most part. My doctor told me to stay out of the heat because I will dehydrate quickly and it is so hot here. So I've tried my exercise bike, but the large incision hurts when I do that. So hopefully that will heal up soon. There is a very large knot there, where they move my inside out of the way and it feels horrible to put pressure on. I am able to sleep on my stomach again and it is the best. I get down food pretty good. Not so much the shakes though. So I try to get in one a day, with a scoop of genepro and benefiber mixed in. My diet that the nutritionist gave me said that I should be getting in 3 meals, two snacks. And the meals should be like 2-4 tbsp. Sometimes it is easy to get in those 4 tbsp. Depending on what I eat. For example, I just ate some tofu and it was super easy to get down. Other times, 2 tbsp of tuna is hard. And a boiled egg is tough too. It feels like the egg just stays in my throat. -
sleeve buddy in San Antonio ?
rln52 replied to Shilatte's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Great information Erato. I think i will try the unflavored genepro. I think you are right the amount of food you can eat now is so much lower than any amount ever used by any diet plan that a little carb can't hurt. My brother had the sleeve and he did tell me he focused on weight loss during the first months and now he eats pretty much all foods just not everyday. In the old days he would eat a whole foot long subway sandwich, last night he ate only 1/4 of the footlong and he was no longer hungry. That is now a normal amount for him. So I do think the amount of food consumed after surgery is a Big part of the weight loss not just the type of food. The important part is getting the protein in and sounds like you have that covered. When do you go off soft foods? -
The need to eat until stuffed
ShelterDog64 replied to nnagle323's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the info, Jerome at unjury...I'm well aware of the 'concerns' about Genepro. Your product unfortunately makes me vomit, so I've found something else that works. I'm losing weight and my labs have been stellar. -
When I started this process my bmi was 48. I was sleeved on Oct. 4 and my bmi was 39. I'm now three weeks out, and still having difficulties getting in my protein and fluids. I can go for hours without eating as I'm not hungry. Then when I do eat something, I can't drink for well over an hour or I become uncomfortable. I'm afraid that the lack of fluids and protein is hindering my weightloss, as well as causing lack of energy and lightheadedness. I've loss 14 pounds since surgery. I've spoken. With my nut and she says I need to keep trying to get the fluid and protein. Looking for ideas? I just ordered genepro too, so hoping that will help with protein.

This is when it really hits home. You are going through food withdrawals. I just had a revision from band to sleeve and I’m 14 days post and feeling the same thing, just not as intense as the first time around. Just don’t push it, please. Let the internal incision heal. I also just had my 2 week dr visit today and 6 more days until mushy to semi solids. You can do this. You’ll make it through and look back and be glad you did. Protein helps keep you full. I hate shakes and put unflavored GenePro in my broth. It’s a little scoop that has 30 grams and it really keeps you from feeling hungry. I hope this helps!

I had enough of the Protein Shakes too and so I started making my own smoothies. Greek yogurt, frozen fruit, little Water and ice and one scoop GENEPRO. 45 grams of protein and tastes pretty good. Best of luck to you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

anyone getting sleeved in DECEMBER?
bobbyswife replied to taniamatts's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@Ronab My surgery isn't until 12/18 but I started prepping a few weeks ago. Here's what I've done. 3 weeks ago I slowly weaned myself off caffeine. 2 weeks ago I gave up alcohol and started chewing each SMALL bite of food 30 times. 1 week ago I started REALLY pushing getting my Water in. This past weekend I had my last carbonated beverage and am now water or decaf tea only. This week I also started a liver/kidney detox tea. This week I am also replacing 1 meal a day with a Protein shake, just to get in gear for my 2 week pre-op diet that starts on 12/4. On the Monday after Thanksgiving I am going to start 2 shake replacements a day. Another thing I have done is I took a cardboard box and covered it in a really pretty paper (the kind with the sticky back) and I'm keeping all my pre-op and post-op items in there. I have several brands and samples of Protein shakes, a new thermometer, GENEPRO, Biotene mouth spray, Gas-X strips, lip balm (for hospital), a Glade plug-in (for hospital), a brand new water bottle, and other things. -
Diet After Surgery
ShelterDog64 replied to Casds84's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My program stresses a minimum Protein level, but no calorie counting until I'm in maintenance. I log my food so I know how many calories I'm getting daily, but I'm not living by that calorie count. I do work to get my protein, as it's pretty clear that a low protein diet combined with rapid weight loss can result in loss of muscle...I don't want that. I'm eating a pretty balanced diet, low on grains but not grain-free. I've eaten Beans, veg and some fruit from one month out, again this is all 'plan approved', and I use GENEPRO to bolster my protein intake. I don't think your plan is all that far from what a lot of us are eating, honestly. I kind of laugh at any doctor who thinks he/she has some revolutionary approach to eating...it's all been done, many of us here on this website have done most of it, and different plans work for different people. It sounds like yours is great for you and that's what really matters! -
Best (unflavored) protein powder
BLERDgirl replied to Skywalker's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use the Isopure and I completely agree with @@Bufflehead about the pseudo-science behind GENEPRO. However many posters seem to love it. I like adding it to Soup by tempering it in bit by bit. -
Ok so there are those who swear by GENEPRO and those who like others. The key to any is that you don't go over 140 degrees with Water mixing. I have mixed Isopure with cold water and hot broth. I love it it is tasteless I find it odorless it is inexpensive in comparison to some other brands. You can get it at Vitamin shoppe GNC or Amazon For me, genepro seems like a shady company that also hawks "natural steroids" with a lot of scam appearing science. And I cannot get over the 30g of Protein in 15 g serving. I am all about reasonable space time continuum. unjury starter kit is nice because you get their chicken broth (yum!) a thermometer and shaker bottle Best of luck!

Adventures with Unjury Unflavored
expectopatronum replied to expectopatronum's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I bought some of the GENEPRO but I've read mixed reviews on it so I've been hesitant to open it up and try it. I had no idea that the hardest part of this so far would be drinking a silly protein shake! -

Hi all I am in the week 3 stall but hanging in there. I am really tired, but that may partly be from not being able to do much because of my ankle. I can now put a little weight on it, so I will be going back to work part- time Wednesday. I hope my energy will improve as I get out more. Working hard to get my protein in. I ordered the Genepro, thanks for the suggestion BellaLuce4.

Can't seem to find a protein bar I can stand
MarinaGirl replied to jbaker5d's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
GENEPRO does not have a good reputation on this forum. -
I'm a month out from R&Y and nothing tastes good. I got to the point where I had to stop the shakes. Then I tried tasteless GenePro protein powder. I used to drink decaf tea sweetened with Splenda all of the time. I've started back with it, mix in some lemon juice, add the GenePro, mixes right in and I can't taste a thing. So it has enabled me to get in some protein. At a month now I'm able to eat some fruit and it tastes fair but it seems I have some indigestion after everything I eat. From what I've read this does get better. As for now, it's helping me get the weight off. If I could just go without eating, I would, but I'm eating now just for nourishment.
