Genepro- 30 grams of protein/serving untrue?
bluesclues replied to Bluesea71's topic in Food and Nutrition
I miss using GENEPRO, I ran out and don't have access to it here. I bought Quest unflavored and it's disgusting, so is Syntrax matrix unflavored. I'm going to repurchase when I head back to the states, it mixes easily in my food (esp cottage cheese), and couldn't taste it. If you are going to buy unflavored, stick to Genepro. -
I use Genepro with the approval of my NUT. IT IS AWESOME! Instead of a huge scoop it is just a tablespoon and has 30 grams of protein and 98 calories and I believe it's 3 carbs. You can mix it in hot or cold. I use a scoop of vanilla Unjury, a cup of skim milk, a little sugar free pudding powder I love the banana cream and add a tablespoon of Genepro and some ice cubes mis it in a blender and I get 59 grams of protein in one shake. I drink one every morning then I only have to get a little more protein to meet my goal and it's simple!

I have never heard of GENEPRO. I looked it up and all I found is a geneololgy sight. I really like unjury and nectaur protiens. I am a chocolate lover but can't seem to be able to like the chocolate Protein powders that need to be mixed. So with the unjury I use the strawberry and unflavored one. With the Nectaur brand I really like a whole slew of their fruit flavored Proteins. I mix my proteins with zero vitiman Water using just half the bottle. (10 oz.) They need to be mixed at room temperature and then if they can sit for 5 min. you can either put ice in the bottle or refridegerate it. This helps to avoid clumping. Use within 48 hours of mixing. I also have a premeir protein for my Breakfast most days. These are already to go (called RTD) and I like the choclate with this one so haven't tried their vanilla. They might have a strawberry out too. (?) Hope this helps.

Having trouble eating!nothing tastes good
ShoppGirl replied to Nanagrrl3's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You can add unflavored protein to your pudding. Genepro has 7.2grams in a scoop (and the scoop is pretty small) so you could add at least a half if not a full scoop to a pudding?? This doesn’t add any variety which I know your looking for but adding protein may help you feel better to be able to tolorate more variety?? -
True no flavor unflavored Protein Powders
MauiGirl5555 replied to chellede's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The unjury unflavored didnt do much for me...it had a smell that I couldnt get past. I tried it in applesauce and hot Cereal and couldnt tolerate it at all. I have not tried to mix it into the Choc Splendor Unjury drink which I think tastes great. This morning I tried a GENEPRO no flavored powder....it didnt have a smell which is a bonus....I mixed it in with my choc splendor unjury drink....it didnt really change the taste....it sort of left an aftertaste in my mouth for a bit...but nothing too awful.... I ordered samples of the genepro...I ordered 2 samples and they sent me 4....it cost me less than $5. It is worth trying a sample to see if you like it. Good Luck -

Hungry hungry hungry
Jnfinney replied to Bella2021's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am also on my pureed stage and am feeling super down. I am constantly hungry. I had 2 tbsp of cream of wheat for breakfast made with 1/2 c Fairlife skim milk.... was hungry about an hour later. So, I had a smoothie I made (1 c. Fairlife, 1/2 container greek yogurt, 2 tbsp blueberries, 2 tbsp raspberries, 1/4 banana, 1 scoop genepro). 11 am rolled around... I was hungry again! I waited until lunch (12:00 for me) and had 1/4 c ham salad and 3 tbsp cottage cheese. Now it is 3 pm and I am hungry again! I am so stinking frustrated. Am I doing something wrong? I feel like I'm overeating! -
I read something about that before I first purchased it. When I checked in with my nutritionist and surgeon, they okayed Genepro. Is this lawsuit more recent, in the last few months? Trying to figure out how to proceed with protein powder. I tried a few others (unflavored) and they smelled and tasted like mold. Discarded them. (Edit: Includes Isopure Unflavored, and BiPro Boldly Bare Unflavored). Does anyone have an unflavored protein powder that smells and tastes like nothing, truly?

58 y.o. female looking for others my age who have had gastric bypass
beachgal2935 replied to Pamela Diamond's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hi everyone! I'm 53 and would love to be a part of this group. My surgery date is April 21st at Mayo Hospital! I start my 2 week pre-op Optifast liquid diet April 7th so I'm trying to soak up any and all information, tips, etc. I can get. I'm trying different Protein drinks to see which ones I like best. I purchased GENEPRO which supposedly has no taste and have added it to different drinks. I can taste it but can tolerate it and at 30 grams of protein for just 1 TBS, it's hard to beat. My favorite pre-made shake so far is EAS Carb Advantage which is 100 calories and 17g of protein. Has anyone tried unjury? My nutritionist told me yesterday that's what they use in the hospital. I'm thinking about ordering the sampler. Thank you for and advice you can share. -
Hungry hungry hungry
outofusernames replied to Bella2021's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not claiming I'm a fast loser compared to others with my stats but... I recommend buying Genepro (you can get it in the BP store or on Amazon) and add it to your oatmeal and drinks for protein. I tried many other unflavored protein powders to avoid the Genepro cost and believe me, it's worth it. You don't need nearly as much Genepro, it's 56 calories vs 130 calories, has 30g of protein & mixes well with liquids warm and cold. Most importantly, there's no taste. I recommend not comparing yourself to others on this board. If your doctor is more concerned you didn't lose X amount of weight, I'd tell him/her what you're doing and ask for advice. To be honest, I picked a surgeon that only expects patients to lose half their goal weight in a single year. 8 pounds a month MAX. I was self pay and my yoyo dieting had my metabolism all screwed up. Why have surgery if you're just gonna restrict and over exercise? I was "only" 203 lbs 5'5" at surgery and my loss was slow from the start. This is for life. And saggy skin is not attractive. -
Protein shakes besides Bariatric advantage that you like?
FindingMeWithin replied to BQT's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Ironically the Premier Protein is my favorite too. I like the vanilla and caramel. Also, Genepro daily in my coffee. -
Genepro Flavorless Protein Powder
Heidijenn posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Everyone, I just had my surgery on Dec. 8th and I read on here that if you call the Genepro flavorless protein powder phone number you can get a free sample, does anyone have that number or know where I can get it? I don't want to buy a whole bag and not like it, even though everyone says it's great! -
Any Vegetarian Recommendations for the Soft Diet Stage
jenifaoh replied to ItsABearDance's topic in Vegetarian or Vegan Eating
Butternut squash soup with a scoop of genepro powder was a go to. Veggie chili made with black beans, lentils and soy grounds. -
@ LisaGB: First I was 58 (just turned 58) when I had my surgery and my life has changed drastically!!! So don't worry one bit that you think you might be too old....like most people on here our only regret is that this surgery wasn't available when we were younger...but believe me, I am making the most out of every day now!!! If you are looking for inspiration, read some blogs...they were so helpful to me. I kept a blog every Sunday for the first year so you can see a little what to expect. You can see it at http://www.queenofcrop.com/about/%C2'> Then when you read that page you can decide if you want to start at the beginning which I recommend. I started writing again a few months ago, but it is in a direction that is not for everyone....the first year is all about the weight loss. For protein powder, I started using one that was recommended here and it is far, far superior to any other in my opinion. I cannot tell you how many PP I threw out!!!! This one has NO FLAVOR and 30 grams of protein. You can order it from Amazon. It's called GENEPRO Molecular Tri-Protein Peptide. Don't waste you money on other things. As far as exercising.....start slow...get some weights and just use them when you are sitting down. I have read about many others who were on walkers and after the first month they had a Walker Burning Party!!!! You will do just fine and I suspect your diabetes will be history too!

Is there anything you wish you'd been told pre-op?
Everything replied to Pippa1703's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think you’re asking a broader question but I’m going to answer in terms of what I’ve experienced in the first week post op. I should’ve had a more realistic picture of what the first week would look like post surgery. The diet they gave me advanced too quickly for me. If it weren’t for these items I would not have made it through week one as comfortably! When I couldn’t get the vitamins down I had the patches. When I couldn’t get the minimum water AND protein shakes down I had the protein water. When the only “food” I could possibly consume was broth, these K-cups were quick, easy and helped me get in a little extra protein. (And the Genepro is probably just good to have all around. You can add it to the cream soups when you’re ready for extra protein.) Most people probably knew this stuff beforehand but I learned all this the hard way. In the hospital a few things and I really appreciated bringing were my extension cord, my heated blanket, robe and a change of pajamas. I actually brought full blown make up bag with eyeshadow palettes and everything which I didn’t even touch. The only cosmetic or toiletries I used was my toothbrush and toothpaste! Comparatively I feel like I’ve had a more difficult first seven days than others but I have had zero regrets and no regrets phase. I went in after doing a lot of self education and knew it would be challenging. I’m excited for the prospect of looking and feeling better and things are improving daily! I think you will find the same is true for you. -
Any April 2018 Sleevers?!?!
MSTaurus replied to Itsnicoleee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi! I had my surgery April 9th. I now mix GENEPRO’s unflavored Protein Powder in with my applesauce. Let me know how to keep in touch! I’m so confused by all the vitamin stuff too still! -
What do you do when you can't finish your meal? I prepare an appropriate portion size (about 4 ounces) and eat slowly with small utensils. Sometimes, before I finish the portion of food I prepared, I start to feel full, so I stop eating. I'm sure this happens to most of us on occasion, so what do you do with the rest of the food? I usually put it in the refrigerator for a while and then go back and get the rest later. I don't know if this is the right approach, or if it's a bad habit that will come back to bite me someday. I'm a little worried because I recently saw a WLS YouTuber say that this is a habit that contributed to her regain. I don't like wasting food, but I can get over that. The bigger problem for me is that I plan out my meals to get enough protein, and if I don't eat all of what I served myself, I'm going to be short on protein. I'm not eating an excessive amount of food; I rarely go over 600 calories in a day, and I sometimes get full before I finish something like 2.5 ounces of Greek yogurt or a small salad with 1.5 ounces of chicken. Today, I started eating 4 ounces of pureed black bean soup with half a scoop of Genepro, and I felt full after eating about 3/4 of it in 15 minutes. I only eat three meals per day and no snacks other than protein drinks between meals, but I'm afraid that this might be kind of like cheating, because I'm sort of having the rest of my meal as a snack. I'd love to know how other people handle this situation!

I started drinking coffee right after surgery. In fact, it was one of the liquids offered to me at the surgical center which surprised me. I've never had a problem with it. I usually add a scoop of Genepro protein powder in the morning to my cup for the extra protein. I live in the Seattle area and we are definitely fond of our coffee here!

How do you guys manage all the sweets?
shedo82773 replied to 11072016's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Does the genepro have any sugar like substance at all? I don't like the fake sugar that is used either but I need more protein. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using the BariatricPal App It is TOTALLY unflavored. I only wish I had found it a long time ago. It is the very best I have ever tried. -
CALLING ALL JULY 2016 SLEEVERS
higher replied to Tresa Embil's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@aree1020 Shakes yesterday and this morning. Tonight I put unflavored Genepro protein in chicken broth. I'm assuming protein will be just shakes and broth for the next 7 days until I hit purees. -
I am 3 years out but...I still need to supplement my Protein to get enough. I use GENEPRO nonflavored protein, I add it to my coffee every day. It has 30grams of protein for 1 Tablespoon. But you need to put it in some warm Water and whip it a little before you add it to your hot stuff. It is the only one I have found that is not gross. MYOPLEX Rich Dark chocolate isn't bad either. I can't stand Premier Protein. I am Lactose intolerant and that is what the DR had me use for 2 weeks preop and 4 weeks postop. Needless, to say I suffered from the back door trots. That is NOT the way to lose your weight for sure!! Good Luck on your Quest.

Anyone Use Genepro?
busybeebug replied to cuteNATL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Love my genepro unflavored. Mixes great. Keep temperature under 140 or it clumps horribly -
GENEPRO.....Unjury.....blah blah blah......Genepro's Protein numbers are based on it's better absorption rate over other protein formulas. That is why they tout more protein per gram. Not being an actual chemists, and knowing how our entire consumer product industry is nothing more than a bunch of snake oil pushers anyway......... I don't really know what is actually being absorbed by my body, by anything out there. Maybe nothing. But then again.....there is always that "placebo" guy that enters the fracas. So it is what it is. I use whatever seems to make me feel or function better. The more expensive it is....the more I NEED to accept in my tiny little mind it's working. So, that being said. Use whatever seems to work for you. And keep our economy strong.
