When can I stop using protein powder
trekker954 replied to gustavio's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yikes. I'm 2 months post op and toss in a scoop of GENEPRO in my coffee each morning. Then usually have a Premiere shake as a snack at some point during the day. I don't think I'd make my goal each day without it. I hate greek yogurt and cottage cheese. I wish I were more creative. -

I have unjury and hate it!!! I feel like it has a smell? Did anyone try unjury and still think GENEPRO is better? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Can't get protein shake down
Mandybb replied to SleevedinSI's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used GenePro when I couldn't keep the protein shakes down. It's unflavored and I used to add it to diet Snapple peach tea. Tasted good to me but you can add it to anything. No lumps or thickness. -
Frustrated with protein shakes
hats123 replied to lapitcha's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
my NUT told me about those and you just reminded me to place an order Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App @@lapitcha your prayers have been answered GNC/Toal Lean Shake 11 oz liquid 25 gr protein 170 calories bottle - liquid all set to drink little expensive worth the convenience and yummy taste yum yum yum swiss chocolate is the one i buy wonderful taste 4 in separate bottles i am drinking to your health continued speedy recovery good luck kathy I'm going to take your word for it and try them out. The Total Lean shake was of the ones I didn't like but maybe the pre made ones will be okay Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I second or third this! The total lean comes in a regular (sweetened with sucralose I think) and a "natural" (sweetened w stevia) I find the latter much much tastier but am not sure if it comes pre-mixed. I just shake each one up individually in a Blender Bottle. There's also a vegan version but I haven't looked at the numbers on that one. Also ditto-ing the use of GENEPRO powder! Make anything into a high protein thing and in my experience it's not detectable. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Frustrated with protein shakes

How do u get ur protein?
MrsMurky721 replied to culmer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How far are you post-op? I'm three days out. I set a timer on my phone to go off every two minutes so I remember to take a sip. It's slow but the only way I can get myself to drink anything. I found New Whey Liquid Protien. It's 42 gm of protein in 4oz. Not delicious but oh well. I also bought Genepro online. It's a flavorless protein powder that can be mixed into anything. So along with my protein shots I'm sipping on lemonade with genepro to get in my water and extra protein. -
Do any of you know if there is an equivalent to GENEPRO available in the uk? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Best protein powder- mixed and premade!
magoosmom replied to Red_lips_and_confidence's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't done any of the premade ones yet. I am using Optimum Nutrition's vanilla flavor powder. It has 24 grams of Protein per scoop and was recommended by my doctor's office. It isn't overly sweet to me. I mix it in a Blender Bottle with 8 ounces of Water for most shakes. I have found one shake that I really like b/c it's not very sweet at all. It's 1 scoop of the ON powder, 4 ounces of Fairlife milk, 4 ounces of water, and 2 tablespoons of PB2 powdered Peanut Butter. Not thick either. My other strong recommendation is GENEPRO unflavored powder. It's 30 grams of protein for one small scoop. I am a seriously picky eater and thought it would bother me, but it really doesn't taste like anything much. I have even added it to a cup of iced tea and all it did was make the tea taste powdery LOL. But easy to drink. -
September 8th...is my date
angelicHG7 replied to Jenny Pooh's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Yes, I get all my Protein in.... I drink a shake just once a day. I do pure Protein shakes in the can 35g of protein for Breakfast. I usually eat a Greek yogurt (chobani 12g) at some point in the day. I bought the GENEPRO Protein powder that people talk about on here. It's tasteless small scoops 30g of protein and you can add it to anything hot or cold. I usually add it to my soups and it doesn't change the flavor or texture. I bought it on amazon. I have laughing cow cheese wedges, cottage cheese, egg or chicken salad and deviled eggs that add a nice amount of protein when needed. Before I could actually eat.... The one Protein Shake that is only 11oz and the 1 scoop of genepro was enough to put me at 65g of protein a day on its own. So it has never been an issue. Now that I am able to add other stuff to the mix... It's just a better variety. -
Hi all - thanks for replying! I found the culprit - my period started today! No one was more surprised than me! Me?? A perfect 28 day cycle?? It had been pretty regular at 35 days for the last couple of years, but before that it could be anywhere from 18 to 100+ days. I have no doubts that the surgery is working on my hormones and metabolism. I feel better today - cramps and achey back, but energy level good. My B12 levels were off the chart high at my 6 week follow up - my dr and I actually laughed about it. D and iron a little low, but higher than they used to be. Thanks for the heads-up about Genepro. I'm not using it as my main source and try to make sure that I get 60g a day outside of it. But I'll keeping looking for good supplements.

Hey All! I know that topic has come up a lot and I’ve tried searching but I was wondering what unflavored high protein powder you guys are using that has low calories. I’m just a week out of my sleeve surgery and I want to make sure I’m getting lots of my protein. I’m not liking the pre-made drinks or some HMR stuff that I have, so I’m hoping you guys know. I heard Genepro has high protein but had some lawsuits and might not be that actual high so looking for other options, maybe Isopure? Thanks!

10 days post op and...
Thinkingthinner1109 replied to Jennifer Rogers's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same problem, my motto was get the first protein drink in as soon as I got up and get it out of the way. I was hitting the YMCA every morning at 5 and drank the protein drink after that. I switched things up. Exercise every other day and drink a whole bottle of water before even starting my protein and it has helped with the nauseous sick feeling I was getting from the protein drink. And I have also learned not to take my vitamins any where near when I was going to drink my protein drink because it really made me sick to my stomach. You will find a routine what works best for you. I use Genepro protein bought on Amazon. It was approved by my NUT. It is fantastic! Helped to get all of my protein in plus some and I was struggling. I am 10 weeks post op on Monday and I can eat anything now but still cannot eat enough to get my protein in without protein drinks. But that's ok I can tolerate them now. Good luck! -
The four cals per gram is the issue. It's a misconception. If you take a look at Genepro's website they have a video explaining their process. It's actually quite clear and scientifically proven. Their process is very advanced and fascinating. And for the record I don't work there or know them or anything lol. I'm from Canada and it's expensive to buy here, but it's worth it IMHO.

My personal problem with GENEPRO is that their nutrition label does not "add up". There is 4 calories in 1 gram of Protein. 1 scoop has 30 grams of protein...there should, at a minimum, be 120 calories in 1 scoop...but 1 scoop only contains 98 calories....which means that the protein in genepro is somehow being manufactured in a manner that is not natural...on the flip side...all max protein is manufactured in Canada (a country that is very stringent in the supplement market with nutritional information) and their protein has 28 grams per scoop with 115 total calories (112 for pure protein and 3 grams of "fillers)....you simply do not know what u are getting in genepro Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I also agree on GENEPRO. It has been a life saver for me. I had several ups & downs with not being able to eat during the first 2 months. My surgeon said as long as I took my Vitamins & drank Protein, I would be ok. I hated the Bariatric Advantage & couldn't tolerate the unjury. I found that I liked cherry crystal light with the Genepro. Each scoop is 30 protein & I was getting 8 oz Water - bonus! It's been over 3 months now & I can eat anything. I do have a craving for Kraft Zesty Italian lite, so I have lots of salads. I've lost 55 lbs & have 35 to go. Hope that helps. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I hate genepro- it def has a strong taste and changes the consistency of drinks- though I have never tried it in orange juice. I am trying unjury next Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi! I'm only day 5 post op but have a question... When you make your protein drink it's at least 8 oz right? Is this a meal replacement for you or a snack in addition to your meals? Confused on how someone said they can take a Greek yogurt and glass of Oj with genpro in morning.. Wouldn't that be too much for stomach?? Thanks for your insight Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App Hi! I put one scoop of Genepro (30 gram protein equiv) in about a quarter cup of OJ. So overall very little volume. I take it almost like a shot glass of alcohol. At first I had to take smaller sips. I also have a standard serving of Greek yogourt and my multivitamins in the morning with it. Hope that clarifies! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Thanks for that, that makes sense. I was thinking you did 8oz of oj. Gonna try genpro, doing unjury now and I can taste it Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

I've been using GENEPRO and I love it. I mix it into coffee, Soups, puddings, juices. So versatile. I'm from Canada and I started ordering it off GNC.com. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've used GENEPRO for months, now on my second order (soon to be a third--great stuff!!). I can put it in anything, can't taste it and I know I've hit my Protein goals of the day. No digestive problems at all.

April 26th is coming quickly
claddagh66 replied to claddagh66's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Buy genepro also. I put that into everything! 30g per scoop and the scoop is small! Doesn't change the taste or thickness. Nothing. Just adds protein! Wala! The cream of mushroom sounds good. Maybe it was the milk. I've heard we can become lactose intolerant after this. I'm hoping not. Maybe you just weren't ready for it. Wait a couple days and try again. Maybe not as much. 1/4 cup this time and wait. I still have trapped gas. It's like will it ever end! I finally went to the bathroom today and that helped at the time but I feel no different now. I'm back to being crampy and gassy. I too use the gas strips and also the chewy tabs. Not working yet. So you understand the herniated feeling. It's horrible. I have 7 just in my lower back! I'm always in pain. Yes I am hoping big time that taking the weight off will help all of this including my fractured foot as well! Fingers crossed. I started seeing my doctor in October. I didn't lose much but like 6 pounds. But good I didn't gain! They put me through so many tests! I stated off at 201 and am now down to 185. I was 191 presurgical. I'm already losing plus I lost what I gained in there. I'd like to get to around 135. I'm only 5' and all of my weight is in my lower half so my ass is huge and so are my legs! -
Hi everyone. I’m 3 weeks post op and currently in the “puréed food” stage of my diet. I’m having a really hard time having one single meal a day. I am tolerating tuna well so I’ll be able to have about 6 bites/3 quarters of one of those starkist packets over 40 minutes with slow chewing and long pauses. But truly no more than that a day. I’m meeting my protein goals with genepro in water and a protein shake daily. But I’m really struggling with food. Is this normal a few weeks out?

I love love GENEPRO it is the only unflavored I have used that is definitely nonflavored!! You can order online, but I also was told that GNC stores carry it. But not the one we have here in our town. -
Just cannot eat
Ready4theday replied to PrayingForWeightLoss's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Can you have avocados? Nut butter? Greek yogurt? I've also been having luck with Genepro - it's such a small amount of powder for 30g of protein. It mixes well with nearly everything and has very little taste. -
I researched the genepro, sounds like the best option.
