Why don't you like GENEPRO? I hear people love it and now I'm hearing people hating it. I use it, I like it but I use it now because I spent a A LOT of money on it. I like it better than any other ones. If anyone can suggest a powder that's unflavored that you can use in hot stuff I'm listening. I use Cabot Whey powder, I trust the company, (the plant is seriously 2 miles from me) and the product is good. It gets weird (as most do) if the food is hot but it's "unflavored" they all have some taste. I think it's ok in shakes, yogurts, pudding, milky stuff.

Can you have too much protein?
jess9395 replied to Kitty112415's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Btw I agree on Genepro. They don't respond well to questions either getting argumentative and combative. Makes me think they aren't convinced on their product either. -

I have to travel for business the end of this month for a week. They asked if I had dietary restrictions so hopefully they will offer a few options for me. I too get hungry at around 3hrs.

Appetite back with a vengance!
sillykitty replied to BajanSleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Not wanting to step on Jess's toes, but to clarify, she is referring to Genepro. It is not possible for it to contain the 30 g of protein it claims to, with the calorie count it claims (and actual weight of the product) -
Genepro. Stay away
Sheran4eva replied to bossportsgal's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My Nut recommended genepro, I couldn't tolerate any of the other protein powders, or premade shakes . Every sip was a struggle. She recommended this powder and it made a huge difference for me. It gave me the little boost to my regular food intake. It didn't have the horrible after taste the others did. Now that I am 3 months post op, she expects me to get my protein thru food, when I can't meet 65 -85 grams p/day, I throw a scoop in a shake. I'm 3 months post op down 55 pounds. Wish everyone much success. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
The need to eat until stuffed
MrsSugarbabe replied to nnagle323's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@ShelterDog64 -- You mentioned earlier using unflavored GENEPRO in your morning coffee -- do you have to keep the temperature of the coffee at a certain temp to keep the Genepro from clumping? My morning coffee alone fills me up, but has no Protein so I'm wanting to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak, and I've seen that several folks use Genepro in their coffee. I just want to be sure before I order a tub of it. I use @@unjury Protein Powder to supplement my daily protein intake and love it, but it will clump if the Water temp is above 140 deg. (chicken Soup flavor). I make my own latte in the afternoon and have switched from hot to iced so I can use the unflavored @@UNJURY in the latte. This is working well so far, however, sometimes I want a hot latte in the afternoon. Thanks for any suggestions! -
@@kwcrnp I ordered the Genepro; thanks for that......I don't do shakes anymore (maybe once in a while as a treat) because they don't hold me but I am mixing the protein into my yogurt with other little mix-ins (otherwise, like shakes, it's a slider for me).... Sure jacks the protein up!

sleeve buddy in San Antonio ?
Erato Calliope replied to Shilatte's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@rln, I was able to start driving once I was off the pain meds. Pre-op j was using GNC's Total Lean 25 powder shakes. I found the powder more filling and creamier than the pre-made Total Lean 25 shakes. Post-op, I do the pre-made since they are a bit thinner and go down easier. I do the powder Total Lean every so often but I use Water instead of milk. Also, I was using Unjury's unflavored Protein powder to get an added protein boost to my Soups and other foods. However, I've switched to Musclegen GENEPRO unflavored Protein Powder. I can only find it on Amazon or on Genepro's website, though. It's about $10-$15 more than Injury, but you get much more out of it because you only need 1 tablespoon to get 30g of protein. unjury is 21g for a larger scoop that is = to about 2-2.5 tablespoons. Additionally, the Genepro dissolves much better in food and drinks. In regards to diet, technically, I'm supposed to be on soft foods till 6/22, but I'm actually eating whatever. For the most part they are soft but this weekend at a birthday party I had about 4 chips but I just chewed them very, very well. Most foods are soft as long as you chew well, ya know? I try to limit my carbs because my nutritionist promotes the low carb diet, but I don't freak out. In my opinion I'm eating so little that a teaspoon of rice or 4 chips once or twice a week isn't the end of the world especially if everything else that enters my mouth had a high nutritional value. I do need to start upping my veggies because a high protein diet is killer on your lower digestive system. Fiber gumnie and stool softeners are a must. Lastly, I'm also taking 1 Probiotics pill daily. It has 4 billion active cultures or whatever the term is that they use. Supposedly, and you may be able to find more about this searching the boards, there was a scientific study that was done on bypass patients testing the affect of probiotics on weightloss and the group that had the probiotics lost a much higher percentage of weight. I know that was for bypass patients, but probiotics can help everyone even if they don't help me lose weight, IMHO they help digestion in general.I'll look for the link to the article and I'll post it. -

For those on liquid diets now.
amylynns replied to misstvb's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Someone on this site mentioned GENEPRO Protein. It's tasteless and totally dissolves. I put it in broth. I can also have v-8 veggie juice, so I mix that and the protein with broth and it's like tomato Soup. The protein is 98 calories and 30grams of protein. Can't taste it at all!! -
December 2017 Gastric Bypass!
tankheadmommy replied to 823freckles's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I add Miralax (once a day) to my protein drink and it does not have a flavor. It helps with the constipation. Things I eat during pureed stage: guacamole tuna lentil soup egg salad chili ground turkey refried beans I make sure to get 70-80 grams of protein and more than 64oz of water. I put Genepro protein in my cocoa in the morning and I have Nectar Lemon Tea (also protein) in my water at the end of the day when I'm sick of drinking water...lol. I would look at the foods you already love and see how you can make a softer version. My doctor's office said I did not have to blend my food, I just needed to chew it really well. -
Help needed in picking protein shakes
shedo82773 replied to jeff4free's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I used Premier for 2 weeks Preop and 4 weeks Postop. I had the back door trots the whole time. Finally, my Surgeon told me that I was more than likely Lactose Intolerant. Thanks. I use GENEPRO unflavored protein I put it in my coffee every day. I have tried so many different proteins, I would hate to know how much money I have spent. Also MYLOPLEX rich dark Chocolate is god as is ATkins. Guard against buying too much protein before your WLS. So many people have their taste changes. Good Luck -

Hi, I'm so sorry you are having such a hard time. I know this will sound so mechanical but it will get better. First, call your Dr for something to help with your nausea. There is no reason to feel so bad. I use a nonflavored Protein Drink called GENEPRO. I add it to my espresso every day. You need to get your nausea under control. Focus on getting your fluids in and push that protein hard. It doesn't take long for us to dehydrate. Are you sick before or after you eat or drink? Check with your Dr. You could have a Stricture. ( kind of like scar tissue) not to worry if it is there is an easy fix. They do an Endoscope and use a balloon to dilate your Stoma. Not trying to make problems where there isn't one but explore all of your options. Take care and keep us posted on how you are doing. BTW I also have Fibromylgia and my surgery has actually helped me some. So that might be something that helps you too. -
A "food" that has no fat, no protein, and no carbs? What is this, the Genepro of mayo's? Honestly it does not sound like food at all. They are either liars or they are making a batch of chemicals and calling it a condiment. I don't usually get worked up about "fake foods", but even I would avoid that. My personal experience has been that plain greek yogurt is the easiest substitute for mayo. I can make a ranch dip out of it, tuna or chicken salad... heck I have replaced sour cream and mayo both with plain yogurt. That being said, if you are really craving honest to goodness mayo, I say try your hand at making your own. It's a lot easier than you think. Though once you see that it is just eggs and oil, it may not be as appealing.

Thoughts on Protein Powders (Premier, Unjury, etc.)
ShelbyMoore replied to ToughButFair's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use Genepro Medical Grade protein powder. I add a scoop of it to certain foods when I need to get my protein in. There is no taste to it. I mix it first in a small amount of liquid to get the clumps out then I mix it in whatever I put it in. I liked premiere choc protein shakes before surgery and still do. I have one a day. I use Genepro protein powder as a fill in. I bought my Genepro Medical Grade protein powder on Amazon. It delivered the same day - I was surprised. It comes in a small bag with 30 servings. I hope that helps. -

Add Genepro to Chicken Broth?
tarotcardreader replied to SJR20's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Genepro was actually sued and genepro lost in regards to that high of protein in a little scoop. You can google it if you want to know more. I haven’t tried the powder i just read about the lawsuit. Just know you are probably only getting half of the 30. However, some people swear by it. I also have the containers for meal prep. I will be using a mandatory post op bariatric advantage shake kit at first though. After that premier protein probably -
Best Unflavored Protein Powders?
clasnic1 replied to kelseysleevedup's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I like GENEPRO myself...I can put it in anything and it doesn't have a flavor. I get it from Amazon. I purchased it about 9 months ago and I still have a half a bag. One Tablespoon equals 30 grams of Protein. -
The patches have a similar issue to GenePro protein claiming to provide more protein than was in the serving itself. I've reached out to PatchMD looking for clinical trials etc because, I was skeptical as well. But I figured I'd give them a try anyway. And all my levels are normal - high end of normal. Less the Vitamin D as stated. So, they are working for me. I've read the report you posted, before I started my own trials. I've taken it into account and still figured I'd try these myself. I'll see if my levels change at the 6 month check in or not.
