I think I've posted about this topic a couple of times hahaha I get premier Protein shakes and mix them into my coffee I've also started mixing unflavored protein into my coffee along with half a shake 5.5 oz Premier Protein + 1 tbsp GENEPRO protein = 45g protein! I mix the two Proteins with some milk or creamer and and then add my coffee while stirring so the hot coffee doesn't clump up the protein there will be people here that will tell you that genepro protein isn't real protein, but I talked to my doctor and they said that it's fine. I'm a scientist myself, and I went on their website, and read some literature, and their protein extraction process makes sense to me. The genepro dissolves very easily, so I like it! I also try to eat around 20-30g more protein than my minimum so that even if I misjudge the amount of protein in something I eat or drink, I'll still be getting what I need. another option is unjury protein which people seem to like.

What you eating 9-12 months post op?
Original Poster replied to breprih's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 10 months out and here's a typical day for me: Bfast: Premier protein shake 9am: Greek yogurt with couple of grapes Lunch: half an Atkins meal PM Snack: cup of coffee Dinner: 2-3 oz mahi and asparagus If I'm low on protein I'll supplement with a little genepro. I always get in at least 125 oz (about a gallon) of water each day. I'm still not hungry most of the time so I have to make myself hit the daily goals. I'm currently down 95.5 lb and am losing 5-7 lb/ month. I have 30 lb to goal weight. Stats: Height 5'11" female SW 295.5 11/14/16 CW 200.0 (almost there!!) GW 170 -
Try Genepro protein powder. I buy it from gnc. You need a very small scoop for 30 grams of protein and can mix it with crystal light.

Help! I'm not getting my water or protein
Thinkingthinner1109 replied to SleeveyLooser's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you can order Genepro from Amazon, instead of a huge scoop of protein it is just a tablespoon and has 30 grams, only 4 carbs it mixes with anything and I cannot taste it. I mis it in my protein shake in the morning along with my scoop of unjury and skim milk and my morning protein shake is 8 ounces of skim milk, 1 scoop of unjury a scoop of Genepro and a little powdered sugar free pudding and a few ice cubes to get it cold and it is 59 grams of protein. I almost have my protein requirement in by 7 am before I leave for work. It's awesome. -
Genepro is a great flavorless protein

Can I proactively prevent hair loss PRIOR to surgery?
Clementine Sky replied to duckydoom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I only experienced minimal hair loss, but I've lost weight at the rate of an injured turtle. I think those who lose a more substantial amount of weight at a faster rate tend have more hair loss. I've been using SLS products for years because my dermatologist recommended them back in college to help reduce the risk of acne breakouts, and they also are less damaging to your hair. Loreal has a line that is readily available at most stores, and very reasonably priced. I also really recommend Nioxin's shampoo. I haven't cared as much for their conditioners, so I mainly use the shampoo and then a Loreal SLS free conditioner. I use a hair mask, or if I'm out of one coconut oil, once a week for deeper nourishment. I did take collagen for a couple of months based on a post I read on here recommending it, and saw an improvement in my skin but not a perceptible difference in my hair. I bought it on Amazon. I never took Biotin or any other Vitamins that claim to benefit your hair because many can cause acne. I have PCOS and have be really careful. I do take Vitamin D, which definitely helps with hair growth, and a multivitamin. I also try to get enough Protein in, and drink plenty of Water. I was struggling for a while to meet my protein goals, and adding in GENEPRO as a supplement (I'd never recommend it as a standalone source of sustenance or protein) helped me out. -

Can you have too much protein?
Kitty112415 replied to Kitty112415's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you! I have been taking 5,000 units of biotin for the past 2 months figuring I would give myself a headstart. My doctor said that I should be having 80-100 grams of protein a day and seeing how I am already getting sick of the shakes on my pre-op diet figured this GENEPRO protein would make it easier to get in by adding it to my drinks. -
What's your favorite tried and true go to meals or snacks?
Debbieduck4 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Just wondering what everyone's favorite meals and Snacks are... getting a little bored and wanting to try some new things! I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow so looking for ideas I'm mostly looking for quick and easy Breakfast, lunch, and snack ideas that I can take with me to work. I make lots of new recipes for dinner and on the weekends... Here's my regulars in case anyone else wants new ideas: Breakfast is one of 4 things usually: 1. Protein shake 2. oatmeal with spoon of GENEPRO added 3. Greek Yogurt with nuts 4. Egg and cottage cheese Snacks are usually: Cheese and a few Nut thins Greek yogurt Veggies and Hummus Almonds For lunch I always just take leftovers from dinner.... Forgot to say that i mostly eat vegetarian with some seafood occasionally -
Hey Folks, I made it through surgery well yesterday. No issues whatsoever. I feel OK....just sore and a lot of discomfort when moving.... and I finally feel some gas coming on. The surgeon said everything went very well and the 22lbs I lost in the 2-week pre-diet was a big help. Right now I'm sipping bone broth with added Genepro protein powder (good stuff). Overall, on the day after surgery, I feel a little better than I expected. I look forward to pureed foods on Friday. (Yes, my surgeons move to pureed foods on day 3-4 post-op) A week ago, I filled ~25 - 3oz containers with tasty pureed chicken, pork, bison, egg/avocado, and tuna....and then froze them...ready to warm. But now my focus is sip, sip, sip, walk, nap, sip, sip, sip, walk, nap. (not necessarily in that order 🙂 So far, all is well!

Easy protein hack!
determinedtolive replied to doppelganger's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I bought GENEPRO based on how many people say you can't taste it. I've used it in a V8 Splash diet juice, I can taste it. I'll try your pudding/yogurt hack and see if that works for me better. -
Type 2 Diabetic and Lactose Intolerant
Sherrie Scharbrough replied to Kenlybop's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
That is a hard one fir sure. I found GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder. It has literally saved my life. I was on a 2 weeks of protein drinks before my RNY and then 4 weeks of protein drinks after my WLS. I am here to tell you, I had "THE BACK DOOR TROTS" the whole time I was drinking PREMUIR Protein drinks. I mean I coudn't hardly get out of the house. After all of that time my Surgeon told me that I was Lactose Intolerant. THANK YOU MISTER!! Now when I say that I couldn;t go out I mean I COULD NOT GO OUT without wearing a pad!! So I am now 3 and 1/2 years out and when I found GENEPRO I was so EXCITED!!! It is unflavored and I add it to my coffee every day. You can add it to anything. Just temper it in some warm water and then put it in the stuff and you can enjoy your drinks without any difference. It is a little more expensive but it is so worth it. I hope this helps you, I just wish I would have had it all along. BTWS it has 30grams of protein in 1 Tablespoon. Now there will be some that say it isn't 30 grams but I have used it with all of my labs coming out great!! -
I am a little over a year post-op. I am very limited on what I can eat. I eat no meat at all. My diet is mostly Greek yogurt with GENEPRO 4 times a day & popcorn. I have no energy, no strength, no motivation yet all my labs are in normal range. I do struggle with getting in enough liquids. Anyone else having this experience?

Have u tried genepro protein mix? I can't do protein drink either and genepro is flavorless and doesn't change the consistency of the drink. I mix mine in my coffee every morning.. it will take some time to figure out what u can eat and not eat.. I couldn't drink water up until like a week ago.. I live off of chicken salad, tuna, fish and shrimp lol

I have the unflavored GENEPRO that has 30grams Protein per serving and do very well in it. I have put it in decaf coffee, Powerade, even mixed it in some sugar free Jello. To me it does change the taste/texture minimally, but not in a displeasing way. There is no way I could get my protein in without it. DS surgery 12/14/2016

Protein Shakes suggestions?
BellaLuce4 replied to raquel_c's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use Bariatric Advantage from Amazon. chocolate is my favorite. Now I'm using GNC Cookies and cream, also CVS sells individual packets of their brand. I love their strawberry. I had them order me a carton and keep packets with me in the car ( I'm in sales and drive all day. Also I now use GENEPRO Protien (Amazon) this is for post surgery and is tasteless n can be added to crystal light drinks, oatmeal, anything really to boost Protein content. The Genepro Is really great directly after surgery when it is hard to get all the protein in. Good luck!!! -
Is this correct? Standards for carbs and proteins as per dietitian....
Katcloudshepherd replied to natalie_christin's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I don't count calories or worry about fat. I concentrate on getting that 64 ounces of Water first, then getting my Protein in. I get a MINIMUM of 60 grams. I keep my carbs as low as possible--although I don't count them so to speak. I just make sure whatever I eat is extremely low in carbs. I find I do much better if I get MORE than 60 grams of protein a day. I live on GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder and Quest bars. I work full time, commute a total of 1.5 hours a day to work/home and my husband is 100% disabled. I just don't have the time to cook. The least expensive source of protein would probably be eggs. I think as far as meats, chicken and turkey are less expensive than beef. Fish, depending on what type, would probably be as expensive, or more so than beef. I haven't been able to exercise this week, I've been sick with an upper respiratory infection. I hope to get back in the pool next week. I haven't lost weight in some time. I think I've hit a plateau. If I don't loose any more--it's fine with me since I'm down to a good size. I'm not worried about a number on a scale, or a clothes size--as long as I feel good and can move well that is my primary concern. -
Thanks. I've been using GENEPRO since the day I got home but I can taste the whey Protein and really don't like it even though it blends well (after mixing and letting it sit for 5 min). I have yet to try the Isopure. The Atkins Lift drinks gross me out so I have been apprehensive about Isopure. Also just so I don't confuse anyone, I changed my profile name from HalleJillyah to Jill_me Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

And completely excited! Surgery is Jan 17! I start my pre op diet Saturday which consists of 4 Protein shakes and for dinner chicken breast and veggies. I feel completely prepared. I have every kind of protein I need. Premier shakes in 4 flavors, GENEPRO powder, unjury chicken flavored powder, 3 flavors of Quest powder, the sample packets of nectar and a tub of unflavored Nectar. I have the things I will need on a bookcase so i don't have to bend or reach. Got my freezer full of stuff my son can have for dinners plus tons of Snacks for him. I have a woman from a local organization who will come check on me for the first couple days. Filled all my prescriptions and picked up a months supply of Vitamins and that antibacterial stuff you have to wash with. All that's left is wash the sheets and blankets and scrub the bathrooms! I'm ready to go!!! Sent from my Y538 using the BariatricPal App

Unflavored protein powder
triciakae replied to glitterpockets's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 5 months out and I tried unflavored unjury. Ewwww I gagged on it. I heard about GENEPRO and ordered some. It was a life saver for me during pureed phase. To me it was tasteless and I couldn't smell it either. A little bit goes a long way. My nutritionist approved it also. She also said that Premier Protein shakes are the wrong type of protein and our bodies only absorb about half the protein you drink. I didn't know that at first and I was drinking them and felt completely exhausted all day. The Syntrax flavored Proteins are pretty good. They are pretty sweet thought but for unflavored I would suggest Genepro. -
Syntrax Nectar taste - Clear liquid help
CanyonBaby replied to jas84047's topic in Food and Nutrition
@@jas84047 I use TG's and GENEPRO. Genepro has 30g per scoop, which is half the amount of most unflavored powders, but there have been questions about whether or not it can truly offer such Protein value per 15g serving. So I alternate it with TG's, which has a hefty scoop, and not as high protein value (I believe it is 25g per scoop). Yes, there is a taste to unflavored protein, I liken it to coffee creamer flavor, but not as sweet. With the Water Enhancer drops, you hardly notice the protein flavor. Remember, unflavored does NOT mean there is no flavor, it is just that they don't ADD flavor. You can also add the powder to just about anything wet: Soups, V8, other juices (watch the carbs!), scrambled eggs, coffee/tea (try iced - I like chai-spice iced tea!!!) chili, stews..... You may have to mix it with a little cool water before adding it to hot foods (or it might clump). Be creative and when you find new ways to use it, please SHARE!!!!! I meant to say TWICE the protein of most powders, for GenePro. Not half. SORRY! It is half the scoop size. -
@@jas84047, I'm a big fan of the lemon tea, and using a shaker bottle fixed my foam and clump problems completely. Avoid GENEPRO - it's impossible to have 30 g of Protein in 15 g of powder, their labelling is misleading and no studies to date have shown their 15 g of protein to be better absorbed, etc, than other protein isolates. Another, savory option, is pho broth. It's rich, salty, savory, and packed with protein. Check out the recipe here if you like - this stuff kept me going post-op and had enough calories (more than Syntrax per volume) to give my body what it needed to heal quickly despite the minimal volumes I was able to consume. I also have a protein-packed jello-like recipe if you like here. Congrats, by the way, on your surgery choice - I'm so excited for you - this side of things is beautiful!

Any ideas? Getting sick!
mipookiebear replied to genn's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like flavorless GENEPRO Protein powder added to SF hot coco, herbal tea or broth. It is 30 grams of protein. -
Any actual stats or research on Genepro protein?
chuswysly replied to Mrs_O's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm not sure any of the Protein drinks have science behind them.......and even if they do we all know any "independant study" can be manipulated to look like whatever "they" are trying to prove. What I do know is a tablespoon of unflavored Protein powder is something I can swallow. That's better than no protein since I (and many others) can't seem to get any of the protein drinks/powders/bars down. I just received my GENEPRO and will begin today. If I feel better and my blood work is good I'll continue to use it. If not, I won't. If you're able to ingest the other protein products then congratulations.......I certainly wish I could. We all have to do what works for us as individuals. -

DuodenalSwitchMan replied to genn's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I ordered the Protein mix from the site, 30 grams in one tablespoon. I put it in my spit pea Soup tonight and I had no idea it was there. GENEPRO medical grade protein. Also, pre surgery up until the last two days I was allowed one meal with 4 oz chicken breast or turkey. And I had a lot of homemade jello! I used Costco's Premiere Protein, premixed and snuck a cup of nonfat Greek yogurt with chocolate Protein powder sprinkled on top of every spoonful, for variation. In Song, MarkieZ
