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. -
Solids soon... help!

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. -

I'd never heard of them prior to joining this site. Went to look them up and one of the first results was "Genepro lawsuit"...lol. At least one company is suing them (to be fair other manufacturers have gotten in trouble for misleading info): https://www.law360.com/articles/865678/protein-powder-maker-accuses-rival-of-false-advertising Missouri Eastern District Court Case No. 1:16-cv-00274 SI03, Inc. v.

Genepro. Stay away
Christina.Rose replied to bossportsgal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Question for OP, did your doctor say there was anything harmful with using Genepro or just the discrepancy with the protein amount? I have been using it post op and never heard of it before this site. I might not buy it again but if you or anyone has heard it is dangerous I might be more inclined to stop using now. My team hasn't heard of it and just told me the generic "watch your carbs with protein" answer. -
Genepro. Stay away
BigViffer replied to bossportsgal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just cannot understand why this discussion won't die. The ingredients specifically say it is made from whey protein. I don't care what "magic" they allegedly perform, it is impossible for there to be 30 grams of "equivalent" protein in a tablespoon serving and only 98 calories. The thing that is so hard to understand is that there are so many real protein supplements that there is no question or debate on the efficacy of the product. The only thing that Genepro has going for it that is not up for debate is how well it dissolves in liquid. That is not enough to warrant wasting money on it. -
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. -
That article is just another another opinion, trying to simplify a complex issue. And debating opinions is a waste of time. You eat your genepro, I'll eat my whey, and Julie will eat her hemp. Discussion over.

Btw.... The genepro is awesome.... The scoops are so small and it didn't change the taste or consistency of my soup at all. It's definitely worth it. -

AngelicHG7 I'll have to let you know I'm at my house until Tues. (I take care of my mom with my daughter. She in respice). Most of my product is at my mom's house,because that's where we are at most of the time. When I was drinking it was when I was during my 6 mons. Is the name of the protein you ordered on Amazon called GENEPRO. I understand you can even sprinkle it on your food.I bought some ready made. I don't see the doctor until the 29th. To get all final details -
Genepro- 30 grams of protein/serving untrue?
SeahawksFan replied to Bluesea71's topic in Food and Nutrition
I buy it from Amazon. I am a Prime member and the shipping is free and comes in 2 days. Plus it's only $38 and is flavorless. I bought unjury and half of the container is still sitting in my cupboard. I should just throw it out as it is awful. I put one scoop of GENEPRO in my coffee every morning religiously. If I have oatmeal I add it in before I heat it up. It mixes better. I don't count my grams,calories, carbs, Water etc. I just always have Protein first and water to drink as often as I can. Good luck- LA -

I've read the same stuff. They're not claiming that it's the same chemical structure. They're trying to explain in layman's terms how they're changing the chemical structure. They're describing stripping out everything but the protein chain and then binding the protein chain to less stuff but still stabilizing the protein chain and in the process making it more bioavailable. In trying to make it understandable to non scientists they've actually made their description not scientifically accurate. My scientist dad used to get driven crazy by this, he called it "simplification to the point of error". I've read some other documents by the company, and it appears to me they're claiming that their process of refining the Proteins reduces allergens and makes more of the protein bioavailable and that's what they're basing the claim on. I've also read the outcomes from the clinical trial. While I think there are some basic flaws in the study design, my conclusion based on the raw data from the study (available at clinical trials dot gov) is that Genepro is as good as any other Protein powder. I have found it to be easier to mix in more foods at more temperatures than other brands, so I'll stick with it. For me, it's like the question of which is better, a .380 or a 9mm? The answer is the one you'll actually carry. My 9mm is a much better weapon, but it's not concealable. My .380 is, so it's the one I'm more likely to actually have at hand. If another protein powder is better, but I won't use it because it's gritty or changes the texture too much, or won't dissolve well in hot liquids, is it really better?

Genepro Protein?
SeattleSleever replied to cuteNATL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@scipuobabe - I really like the unjury chicken broth but I the unflavored is terrible! It clumps up and tastes very strongly of whey to me. Sounds like people are liking GENEPRO unflavored? (Despite how many grams of Protein it may or may not have). Any other unflavored favorites? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Sept. 8th & 9th Gastric Bypass surgery.
angelicHG7 replied to angelicHG7's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I usually drink a 35g can protein shake in the morning and at lunch I eat soup and add 30g of Genepro protein. I also sip on hot tea and crystal lite throughout the day and at some point I will have iced tea. I eat Greek yogurt which gives me about 12g protein and if I want a coffee treat I do decaf coffee mixed with chocolate mocha protein 25g... But not everyday. I manage to get at least 60g of protein in everyday ... Sometimes more. Drinking is very easy for me but the soups, pudding and yogurts fill me up quickly. I have no clue if I am getting 64 ounces of what is considered liquids but I know I am not drinking enough plain water. -
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. -
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 -

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 -
There is no protein patch, I struggled the first few days but it got better right after I passed 7 or 8 days. I tried all the Protein Shakes and Premier works best for me. It is creamy, not chalky. The ones you mix with Water are horrible to me. I prefer the vanilla and sometimes chocolate Premier, the other flavors taste very artificial to me, yuck. My surgeon fussed at me on my one week ppst-op about protein, if you don't get it in you will not heal, and your hair loss will be worse. As a last resort some people buy GENEPRO and mix it with water and something like Crystal Light or Mio drops. There is controversy about it though, my doctor does not recommend it.

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.
