Your Favorite Post-Op Go-to Foods
triciakae replied to Garifab_VSG's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a little over 4 weeks post-op. My go to things are Dannon Lite and fit greeks Cottage cheese Soups I will even eat the cream of potato mix with fairlife milk for added Protein and mix half tablespoon of GENEPRO Protein powder. Unsweetened applesauce with genepro mixed in for protein. Single serve tuna fish packets with low fat mayo, dill pickle cut off the skin, put it in the food processor and eat with a couple reduced fat ritz. Cheese is also good. I buy a block of Kraft Colby and cut into 1 ounce portions. -
Hi Heather I do not like most of the protein powders out there. From all the ones I have tried the best ones for me are: vanilla from Unjury, chicken soup from Unjury and the best of all is unflavored protein from Genepro (you can find it in Amazon). Genepro is really good because 1 scoop (which is small compared to the rest, only 2 TBPS) has 30 grms. of protein, it mixes really well in cold and hot and it really is unflavored. I mix it with strawberry yogurt (100 cal. chobani) and you cannot even tell is there. I showed it to my NUT and she approved it. Hope this helps and best of luck!

Genepro powder, yay or nay

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 Amazonso 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 (yuck), but also nutritionally and pricewise. Looks like I will need to find the old version or use a different brand from now on.

I've been stalled a month please help!
yerawizardamy replied to DrewzWife's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Do you have myfitnesspal? I really suggest using it for about a week, see where you're at and if you can find anything that You should improve on (getting more protein/water/calories/less carbs). Do you have easy access to your nutritionist? When I was in my stall, I sent all of my logs on myfitnesspal to my nutritionist to have her look over them and give me her assessment. Naturally, she said I needed more protein. Either way, it's a good idea to really try and utilize the nutritionist as much as possible. Also, genepro protein powder has 30g per 1 tablespoon - it's amazing! Amazon has it. Check it out, it may help you more than you realize. -
Stop when full, or push on to get required protein in - confused
ShelterDog64 replied to trekker954's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
@@trekker954 A few thoughts: Dairy Protein is easier for me than animal protein. I know you said you don't care for it, but I can't imagine doing this without using greek yogurt. Have you tried several brands and flavors? I'm not a big cottage cheese fan but you can't beat it for protein, so I eat it. I also use GENEPRO in my morning coffee, plus if I have Soup or refried Beans, I add a scoop to that. If I have a cup of tea later in the day, I add a scoop. There's no way you should push beyond your restriction to get protein in. That would be antithetical to the surgery we all just had. Your nutritionist must have some rationale for requiring 3 meals a day, I'd ask for the reason for it. If you've never been a snacker/grazer, maybe she'd feel comfortable supporting a 4th or 5th meal a day, or maybe like @@Bufflehead's NUT, you could add Protein shakes without them counting as a 'meal'. That wouldn't be the case with my program, if you eat it you count it, but clearly there are variations and semantics to deal with in comparing us all. -

trekker954 posted a topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Just when you think you've got this whole thing down; I'm stumped. I'm just 13 1/2 weeks post op and so far, this has been going well and I am losing well. Even went on a 4 day cruise on lost a pound. My instructions all along, or maybe I listened in the beginning was to stop when I felt full. I was very cautious of this as I never wanted to not have I ever gotten sick. I do use genepro in my morning coffee. But I try and make sure the remaining protein is from food. I've only recently been told I can add vegetables, but very sparingly. Mostly protein. As I progress to more dense protein, it often fills me quickly. I just noticed today, if I'm not even getting in 3 ounces before I feel full, I won't meet my protein goal. I can't just keep eating chicken and eggs. I'm not a fan of cottage cheese or yogurt. I'm also trying different cuts of beef, lamb and such. My NUT really said to eat only three meals a day. What is more important, stopping when full, or should I push through to eat that last ounce of protein. Or should I have four meals a day, or at least four times, I go for protein. -
Iodine allergy, I need help finding a Protein Shake or Powder
shedo82773 replied to Melinda Ann M's topic in Food and Nutrition
I'm not sure if these Proteins have iodine or not but...I love ATKIN'S. Also, I love GENEPRO unflavored. I add it to my coffee every day. It has 30grams for a Tablespoon. Atkins has 15grams of Protein. I'm with you about the Isopure YUKKY!! I commend anyone that can handle that junk. -
My go to Protein shake is 10z fairlife milk (half reg/half chocolate), 1 scoop GENEPRO, and 1 scoop PB2. You can swap the pb2 for instant decaf for a mocha feel. I like thinks cold, so i just picked up a personal blender to make "frapachinos" at work. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16

Did he say that you can have Beef or Chicken Broth? If you can I would suggest BETTER THAN BOUILLON, Then they have this amazing unflavored Protein Powder called GENEPRO. It has 30 grams of protein in 1 tablespoon. I use it in my coffee all the time. If you try it get a little warm water in a cup add powder and whisk it up then add it to whatever you are drinking or eating, pudding ETC. -

Sip Sip Sip ... Not Me !!
Candigal replied to ayanna_vsg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What are you struggling with? I'm 9 days post op and I will tell you the first four were hell for me. I was depressed, regretful, and just miserable. I couldn't get the protein down because no it made me gag, I just wanted a cheeseburger and to cry! I started using Genepro and by day 6 I felt human again. At one week I got on the scale and had lost 20 lbs! It does get better, let me know if you need someone to talk to. 😊 -
Anyone have suggestions on decent tasting proteins
elrios1 replied to jms7e3's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I drink premier protein for quick ready to go ideas, but I also purchased Genepro on ebay. It is a tasteless protein powder I can put in anything and I swear you dont even know it is there. It is 30g of protein for one little scoop. Can put it in soup, yougurt, pudding drinks etc -
Just got approval!! Any October sleevers out there?
Suesloosinit replied to sleevemebaby7781's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used Genepro, put a scoop of that in water to let it disolve then add the fruit juice, was fine. Im more worried about the next 3 days on clear liquids, Ive never been a fan of black coffee but thats what Im going to have with a scoop of protein powder and just hope thats ok or I might just leave the protein out as it will make the coffee cloudy...gotta think ahead lol -
I'm right there with you. Protein water and really, shakes, make me gag right now for some reason. My saving grace has been adding Genepro to soups and sugar-free hot chocolate. I also couldn't stomach the traditional protein shakes for some reason, so I switched to one cup of skim milk with Carnation Instant Breakfast Light Start (no added sugar), with a scoop of Genepro. That packs a protein punch of over 35 grams. You can add it to anything. I haven't tried adding it to regular water, though. I personally have a Moroccan Mint green tea bag in my water bottle and I sip that all day without a problem. I think the mint calms my stomach.

July 2021 Surgery People!
Candace76 replied to Sammys_VSG_Evolution's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi MoreThanWords, I am still a few of weeks out, but I also was worried about what to eat, so I wanted to be prepared and get some the clear liquid & full liquid staples before I start my pre op diet. I have tried some protein shakes from Unjury & Premier Protein. They were ok. Not a fan of vanilla now, but that may change after surgery or if I get tired of chocolate. I like adding them to coffee (Unjury had a cappuccino flavor, I want to try it with caramel flavored Premier Protein), and will probably do that once it is allowed. From Walmart, I purchased some sugar-free drink mixes, chicken broth, veggie broth, beef broth, sugar free jello, & sugar free ice pops. Some items were name brand and others were Walmart brands. Trying to save $ where I can as supplements, vitamins etc. all add up. I bought a tub of chocolate Premier Protein from Walgreens. Yesterday, I placed my first order on BariatricPal and ordered Aunt Millie's broths (pho & Thai), BP Protein soups, BP protein fruit drinks, & Genepro Unflavored protein mix. Last week I ordered some cups for shakes, water, & broth. I got one cup with a strainer for traveling (in case I need to order soup & strain it). I still need to get vitamins, hibiclens, and prilosec before the surgery. Before the puree & soft stages I want to purchase a mini portable chopper/processor & food scale. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I see us probably having a lot of broth and soups in those first few weeks. Jenfs5, thanks for recommending Fairlife, I want to try that brand now, too. Also worried about those clear liquid days (after surgery probably won't be bad as it isn't long and based on others experiences-you aren't that hungry at first). Hopefully, the excitement of being so close to our surgery will make it a little easier. I read other people say that the broth helped fill them up and jello helped give the chewing feeling. (Not a big fan of jello, but when you are only allowed a few things it may be nice to have) Best of luck everyone! -
Best (unflavored) protein powder
triciakae replied to Skywalker's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have a whole thing of unflavored unjury. I couldnt stomach it. The taste and smell was repulsive. I tried it during my liquid phase and pureed phase and it made me gag. I now use the GENEPRO and my nutritionist said its good. I cannot taste a difference or smell it as long as you mix it good. I havn't had any issues with it. It saved me during the pureed phase as I could no longer drink a Protein shake, they made me gag and still do. I had my surgery July 20th, 2015 and I am doing good on protein with just food now. But there are only so many protein rich foods you can puree and still get enough protein. -
Best (unflavored) protein powder
Skywalker replied to Skywalker's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
On my second container of GENEPRO right now. Have been trying to add it to at least two meals a day (so that's 60g Protein right there). I love the consistency and lack of flavor. It actually makes greek yogurt taste a little better, IMO. The weight loss stall might be moving. Down a couple lbs. Will keep you guys posted, I have to figure out something to not be complacent and get this moving again. -
Protein issues... i could just cry :(
Terri70 replied to Marissa.Ann.C's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have you tried unflavored Genepro? I heard it's awesome! You can put it in anything and you can get it off Amazon. -
@@Bandista the Genepro works great! Pre surgery I would mix one scoop into my morning coffee, sprinkle in while stirring, and it dissolves right in! 30 Gm protein with morning coffee is awesome! It would hold me for hours. Now I'm mixing half a scoop with my cream of wheats and yogurt. Eventually when I have my coffee again I will go back to my morning mix

Best Tasting Protein Shake
kadie777 replied to charley27's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My favorites are Chike coffee Protein, ON Gold Standard Mocha Cappucino, Syntrax nectar Fuzzy Navel and Kiwi Strawbery, and unjury chocolate. I also keep Premier shakes on hand for grab and go, as needed, and I like their chocolate shake. Also, I just got GENEPRO which is flavorless and can mix with any drink or food. -
I love oatmeal. I use instant and add a scoop of Genepro protein powder with 30 gms of protein and then it really packs a punch!!

Best Tasting Protein Shake
Clementine Sky replied to charley27's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What blender do you use? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I love the NutriBullet because it blends so quickly and is convenient. I just pop on a lid and can head out the door. As for protein powders, I really like Unjury's chocolate flavored Protein Powder. I'd add coconut cream to it for an Almond Joy flavor, or PB2 for a Reese's-like treat. Chike's protein powder is also tasty. If there is a Sprout's near you they have unflavored whey protein that dissolves really well into both hot and cold drinks. You can buy it by the weight, so you don't have to commit to a giant tub of it when you just want to sample it. I also liked GENEPRO. Starting about two weeks out I began making smoothies using a yogurt that is high in protein and low in carbs, frozen berries (also lower in carbs) and frozen spinach (the berries mask the flavor, and the consistency is better if it's frozen) rather than using protein powder, and that's what I've stuck with this whole time. -
I use Genepro as well. It is my favorite!
