I was sleeved on 11/3/14, so I am 4 weeks out today. I am having just a terrible time with everything! Don't get me wrong, I am still so, so happy that I did this because the alternative of continuing on the road I was on before surgery is unacceptable. I guess I'm just hoping to hear that you've all been through these same things and it will all be ok. Here's a list of my woes........ 1. I stay nauseated almost all the time unless I just don't eat or drink anything. That would be fine with me, but I start getting weak and dizzy, and I don't want to get dehydrated and end up in the hospital. 2. I stay constipated ALL the time! I won't give any more details than that because I know you all have been there and know what I'm talking about. 3. I'm supposed to be on soft foods and purees, but nothing I've tried tastes good to me at all and most food hurts my tummy. The only thing I have found that doesn't hurt, of course, is instant mashed potatoes, which is super high in carbs and low/no protein. 4. I have gotten so sick of protein shakes that they make me gag, and even my Genepro added to decaf coffee is beginning to make me gag, so I'm not getting my protein in. 5. I'm only getting about half my fluids in (see #1 of this list). If one of you is my fairy godmother, please wave your wand and make it all better. Otherwise, any words of wisdom you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

It's the main ingredient in products like Metamucil. I had problems with constipation after surgery and started using the Costco sugar free version with a scoop of Genepro protein powder and that fixed me right up. I knew right away that I didn't want to experience that traffic jam again!

Desperate for help re: eating
BLERDgirl replied to Psychsnob's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That is crazy to be that rigid. That need to work with you. As you said ti makes no sense to drink a shake if you cannot keep it down. You need nutrition. Start trying things. There are the savory Protein soups, GENEPRO, Isopure and a few other brands makes unflavored protein powder that you can mix into cream soups and broths. I am not one for going against doctors wishes but you need to stand up for yourself in this case. -
Homemade Shakes vs Store bought?
QueenOfTheTamazons replied to MelancholyRoar's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I make my own with fairlife milk (choco and plain), GENEPRO, and PB2. I might try swapping the chocolate for plain and adding a couple of slices of frozen banana. HW 385 SW 359 CW 335 (50lbs down!) Sleeved 10/5/16 -
I was sleeved on 12/21 and have lost 31 lbs since then. I also have a stair-step pattern of weight loss - lose, lose, lose, stall, lose, lose, lose, stall. I am really big on hitting my Protein goal of at least 60g per day and I track everything I eat in My Fitness Pal. I eat small "snacks" every 2-3 hours. I have been in physical therapy to rehab a bad knee that is preventing me from engaging in most cardio exercise, so I have NOT been very physically active at all, but working toward getting there. Here's what I eat in a typical day - usually between 800-1,000 cals. Breakfast - Danon Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt mixed with 1 scoop Genepro Protein powder Snack - String cheese + mandarin orange lunch - Small cup of chicken chili Snack - 1/4 c. tuna salad spread on three wheat crackers dinner - 1/4 c. Bolognese sauce over "zoodles" Snack - chocolate protein powder smoothie mixed with light almond milk and 1 TBS Peanut Butter HW - 270 SW - 244 CW - 213 5'5"

How Soon Is Too Soon for Reset?
KarmaNina replied to nolo56788's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too had a weight loss stall, it lasted about 10 days. The nutritionist has me eating 5 “meals” a day. 1/4 to 1/3 cup. Must contain at least 15 grams protein minimum per meal. If I am not eating meat, I add Genepro protein powder to my meal. I could not survive only eating 3 times a day. This plan is working fine for me. I am just at the 3 month mark. -
I went and picked up GENEPRO from my local GNC. Added it to my Water content and it doesn't taste that bad. Of course I can still taste it, but not as bad as those shakes. Hopefully I can go with this for a while. Anyone got any advice on feeling nauseous all the time? It's like whenever I smell something or move around, I get that feeling. The only thing that works is just sitting down. I tried calling my Dr but I guess the office is closed today because no answer. I can't understand why all of a sudden I'm feeling like this. I've never felt so nauseated in my life!!!

They don't have it in the store, at least not where I live. There is a lot of controversy about Genepro, my surgeon does not recommend it, but I was having the same issues as the original poster so I got some to try. Eh. I put it in a mixture of Water with a little grape juice (I am allowed unsweetened juices) People say they can't taste it but I sure could. Plus it make the color weird and the whole thing thick. But hey, it may work for you.

Can someone please help me...
happymama2014 replied to Jennifer Rogers's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've never heard anything about taking a certain amount of time to consume protein. It takes me about a half an hour to eat my Greek yogurt. Only takes me about 10 minutes to drink my soup or broth with genepro protein powder, and takes me about 15 minutes to do a protein pudding because of small bites. -
Choosing a Protein
Sherrie Scharbrough replied to faithmel's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I just typed down below that the BARIATRICPAL STORE sells GENEPRO!! If it was so bad do you think they would sell it to their customers. There has been many discussions on this. But...I have used it and I love it. I think you should first ask the people that run this program and ask them all about it. Sometimes people get carried away because they believe they are right so investagate please!! -
I am 3 months out, but to make sure I get my Protein I put a scoop of GENEPRO powder in my yogurt, which is usually my afternoon snack. It does not change the taste at all to me, and between that and my premier Protein shake for Breakfast, that's 60gms. I am now at 80-100gms, but by lunchtime I am more then halfway there, just a suggestion.

Suggest Unflavored Protein Powder Source

Thanks everyone. I ordered GENEPRO awhile from Amazon. If I don't like that, I will try one of the others. Happy 4th!! -
Suggest Unflavored Protein Powder Source
rosemary79 replied to Debbie623's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Genepro is the best I've found so far. I mix it with my decaf coffee and a little sugar free creamer every morning and get 30g of protein right off the bat! -

How often did/do you eat during puree stage?
RedSalamander posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi all! I'm newly in the puree stage (woohoo!), and I'm not entirely sure how often I should be eating. For example, this morning for Breakfast I had maybe a 1/4 cup (if that) of cream of wheat made with GENEPRO. I saved the other portion (about half) and went back to have it about 2 hours later. I don't normally have a midmorning snack, but I really wanted to get in the whole 15g of Protein. How often do you guys eat? I don't want my protein Quest to become a grazing habit, and I'm not feeling hunger yet because I'm not far enough out. -
In the universe in which I reside, it is impossible to get 30 grams of protein out of 15 grams of protein powder. Genepro makes claims that, to put it mildly, I do not understand given the laws of physics. I personally would not touch the stuff. But I know others who swear by great results.

Daily Protein Requirements?
CE24 replied to HindsightBias's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes and it's annoying to be sipping all day long! Although im farther out than you (7 weeks) I figured out pretty early on I can easily glup Water with no problems. I can take about 4 big gulps of water before I feel full and about 6 of tea or something else. To help hit your high Protein requirement how about you look into GENEPRO protein powder. It's 30 grams of protein but it's only a tablespoon for the serving which is great and it honestly doesn't taste like anything!! It will make whatever you mix it into cloudy but other than that it's great! And only 98 calories!!! Good luck -
Expensive as all **** but... isopure (dutch cocoa was my early fav), syntrax nectar, genepro seem to be popular choices. Also BariatricPal store sells a large variety of protein shake and protein supplement alternatives if shakes aren't your cup of tea https://store.bariatricpal.com/pages/search-results-page?q=protein*

I will always recommend the Genepro brand of protein - it's flavorless, and I literally don't even notice it when I add it in with my Crystal Light. Super easy way to get in that protein!
-
I wanted to share with you, i have been having issues with getting protein in. SO i was suggested to try GENEPRO which is not only flavorless it is actually TASTELESS. You add only 1 Tablespoon and get 30 grams protein and it has no taste. I actually love this stuff. Mix it in tea, coffee, chocolate milk and you wont taste it. It was definitely worth the money and AMAZING. just thought i would share with you all!

Oddball here - dislike Premiere - Thoughts?
mipookiebear replied to tinytummy17's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Before my surgery I liked the vanilla & strawberry Premier Protein shakes, so I bought a bunch of it for after surgery. After my surgery, I couldn't stand the taste. So I had to returned it. I like flavorless GENEPRO & I add it to SF hot coco or herbal tea. -
