Feeling pretty good.
ShelterDog64 replied to MTWilliams's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Portioning your food is a great thing to do, and I use a food scale daily, to weigh any meat or cheese that I eat. If you don't have one, a scale would be a great Christmas gift to yourself Have you started using an unflavored Protein powder yet? Have that to add to refried Beans and Soup has been such a help for me. Even as far along as I am, I still use a scoop of unflavored Protein in my coffee every morning...it's a good way to start the day, as I'm not much of a Breakfast eater. I use GENEPRO, lots of people like Quest and Syntrax. Any of them would be good for you to try. And I still have to work hard to get my Water in and I often fall short, just keep plugging away at that. Walking has been a game-changer for me...when I hit a little bit of time where I'm stuck at one weight, I can get the scale to move by increasing my exercise for just a few days. That's never really been the case before when I've dieted and lost weight, so it really motivates me to get out and move! -
3 days out - protein?
katyh2015 replied to chrispina's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I swear by GENEPRO unflavored. In only 1 TBS you get 30 g of Protein in it. I can mix it in juice, G2, or any sort of flavored Water (Crystal Light, etc.). I got it on Amazon I think for $38. I'm going to try it tonight in my first full liquid Soup. Since I already had 1 20 oz drink with it in there, if I can tolerate it in the soup I'll probably only eat 1/2, then I will be able to get 45 g of protein in, 1 week post-op. Hope this helps! -
I've been using Genepro and overall love the product. I have noticed a calorie difference of 57 to 98 calories for the same scoop but different containers. Does anyone know why?

into my 3rd week need advice
CheleLynn45 replied to jenadenise's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You can find Genepro unflavored protein on amazon.com. -
@@brather You need to transition to unflavored Protein and incorporate it into the foods you're eating. You can add it to any hot or cold beverage, Soups, soft foods, yogurts, etc. There are many brands like Quest, Isopure, Syntrax, GENEPRO, as well as powders made from plant Proteins, too.

Augh a non answer
busybeebug replied to busybeebug's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Babs shakes leading up to last night's vomiting and diaherra caused stomach cramps and intestinal discomfort. I've tried Quest, GNC vanilla, unflavored premier protien. I just ordered GENEPRO. I've tried several others from sample packs both pre and post op. Pre op I was able to drink premier ready made gnc powders and quest powders. Now I am at a loss. I'm trying to find sample packages so I don't blow $ 20-50 on crappie I can't drink. I'm hoping the genepro will be something I can put in my drinks/food and tolerate. At this point taste is secondary or tertiary. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App -
Almost time for surgery!
RedSalamander replied to jerseymami1988's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My surgery's tomorrow. I got broths, a selection of ready-made and powered protein, some sugar-free vitamin water, those sugar-free water flavor drops (Mio, Crystal light, etc.), sugar-free jello, sugar-free popsicles, cream soups to strain, and sugar-free pudding. Oh, and Genepro unflavored protein. We'll see how it goes! -
First day of pureed food
Sherrie Scharbrough replied to newbie123's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I have found the best unflavored protein powder!! It is called GENEPRO!!! Mind you I am over 3 and 1/2 years out and I have tried sooo many different bars and drinks. For premade drinks I loved Atkins. For protein bars I love Powercrunch bars. I wish I could have found GENEPRO sooner. You can mix it in anything. I use it everyday in my Espresso coffee. It has 30grams of protein in one tablespoon. For jmyself it is a WIN WIN because I would drink my coffee any way. To add it to hot stuff, I put a little warmish (not boiling) add the protein and whisk it up before adding it to your drink. You can add it to lots of food. Just remember that our bodies can only absorbe 30grams of protein at a time. Or at least that is what my Surgeon told me. Good Luck and have a great day!! -
Coffee Question?
Yardsleever replied to Coachthex32's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know each practice is different, but my doctor allows 12oz of coffee per day from day one. I add GENEPRO to my one cup a day to have it do double duty! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App -
My taste buds have changed
mipookiebear replied to jack morris 122716's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I liked all the Premier Protein shakes before surgery, but after surgery I can't stand the taste either. I use GENEPRO unflavored Protein Powder. It has 30 grams of protein. I like to mix with SF hot coco, herbal tea or broth. -
How Do You Get Protein In?
gustavio replied to cuteNATL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have to say, I was a GENEPRO skeptic but I've only been using this for 2 months because I cannot tolerate others. Had blood work today and Protein level is perfect. So, I shall continue Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
I'm almost 6 weeks post op and if I drink ONE MORE Premier Protein drink, I swear I will scream... How else do you all get protein in other than using Genepro?
-
You could try liquid Protein instead of the powders and shakes. Liquid Protein mixes well hot or cold. I used Prosource unflavored but others like the GENEPRO and unjury unflavored Proteins.

Protein shake that's easy on the stomach?
soccermom2 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've tried premier protein shakes and genepro powder. I can't stand the taste premier and could even taste genepro though it's supposed to be tasteless. More than that they both made me so sick. Nausea and a burning pain in my stomach for the rest of the day after just a little bit of them. Anybody else have this issue? I'm nervous about getting enough protein in after surgery if I don't find something that's easier on my stomach. -
Just got my shipment of GENEPRO Protein powder after reading a lot of reviews and posts on here about it! I had a TERRIBLE experience with the Proteinx that they gave me in the hospital (it's liquid unflavored protein) so I was skeptical to say the least. Turns out I mixed it in my Greek yogurt and actually enhanced the delicious strawberry cheesecake flavor! Anyone have any great ways they sneak their Genepro into their food or tips? About to hit the purée stage so any ideas would be welcome. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sip walk bored now itchy
lexiemia replied to need change's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I know the feeling. I am 11 days out now and the incisions are starting to itch. I saw my surgeon today. He says I need to take in more fluid. I already knew that. I also need to up my protein. I am thinking about trying Genepro unflavored powder. I am hoping if I get enough protein it will help with the weight loss. Started multivitamin and b12 today. I hope that helps with energy levels. -
2 week pre-op drink recommendations?
KCroadwarrior replied to RSM's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like Premier protein vanilla with a bit of strawberry Mio squirted into it. I also like the Premier chocolate and chocolate Muscle milk. I add a little Genepro to the muscle milk as it doesn't have quite enough protein in it. Get a milk frother from Ikea to mix genepro into any liquids you enjoy.- 1 reply

Genepro Protein Powder- yeah or nay?
EndlessGoals#2018 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi everyone. Have been taking forever to choose an unflavored protein powder since I feel this will give me the best chance to get my protein in. After much searching and getting a little overwhelmed, I gave in and purchased genepro on amazon. Mainly bought it bc of the amount of protein you get per scoop and a lot of comments saying it doesn’t alter the taste of food and can pretty much add it to everything. Should have posted before to ask everyone here. Has anyone heard of it or used it? Do you have anything positive or negative to say about it? I welcome all feedback! Should be arriving in the mail today so potentially have a chance to return it if needed! Lol. Thanks everyone!! -
Rx Weight Loss Meds Post-op?
SummerTimeGirl replied to LAJ23's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've never tried the Unjury brand protein powder that you say you don't always get a full scoop of so I don't know how big their portion size is but, have you tried any other brands? I know Genepro's, for example, 1 scoop of protein is way smaller (and has better absorption than many others) than others and packs more protein. In fact I know many other patients who just mix the one scoop, and some do two, to a few ounces of water or flavored water and down it as sort of a shot, just to get it in and over with for the day. Maybe you just need to sample some others? -
Harder Than Expected, and Easier Than Expected?
sillykitty replied to Swanton_Bomb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Premier Protein's situation isn't comparable. PP had 26.8 and 28.3 grams of protein vs. the 30 grams advertised. In the lawsuit against Genepro claimed they had only 10 grams when they advertised 30, and Genepro didn't dispute that claim. -
Im still on week one liquids. I don't know why Im not sick or unable to drink like so many other people. I am hungry. I get 60-90g of protein depending on what protein shake (Atkins, Premier, Muscle Milk, Genepro) I use. I'm taking my prescription antacids and do not feel nauseated. Im telling you I am hungry. I get "full" or not hungry from my soup or shake, but I am so hungry when Im cooking for the family, or when I smell food or see it on TV.....all the standard hungry triggering. And my stomach feels empty in between shakes. Theres no satisfaction at any table or overeating. I feel hungry! I feel like Im going crazy and I am being told up isn't really up and down isn't really down. Did anyone feel this way and get over it?

So glad to hear the GENEPRO doesn't make you sick............I'm really hoping this is the solution to my Protein problem! You look amazing!!!! You must be so proud and feel so amazing!! Congratulations on your success...........you're beautiful inside and out!!

Puréed food ideas please help!
Brttnyj89 replied to COL120's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's made by Jell-O! It's the bomb! I mix it with Fairlife 2% milk and 2 scoops of Genepro unflavored! -
I have been using genepro a full serving is 30g of protein or something like that. Its flavorless and odorless. You have to get it on amazon though. It will come in handy when you start your pureed stage. It helps expand the variety of food you can eat.
