Trying to find food to eat after surgery
Vfls replied to Aaron Curlin's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Chicken bone broth with spices added. I actually drank it as my main fluid as it has 9 protein a serving. When I wanted it as a meal I would add GenePro protein in. Right now my nutritionist wants me to drink less bone broth and more water. -
Following the rules
BLERDgirl replied to Unhappysleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@Tashabella - If you think you still need supplemental Protein, try the unflavored protein, like Prosource, Isopure, Un jury or GENEPRO and add it to Soups & broth instead. As for drinking Water, try setting alerts on your phone. Something like drink half a cup every hour. As for exercise start simple. Google for quick workouts or check On Demand with your cable provider. Look for 10 - 15 min work out. Do them in the morning and in the evening. You'll have 30 minutes of exercise and not even feel it. If you need to go simpler, get some really light hand weights. 3lbs -5lbs would do. Walk the length of your house 3 times a day holding the weights. Swing your arms slightly as you walk. -
I hate protein drinks! Any protein pills?
Dogmom68 replied to lexie007's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Has anyone figured out how to utilize GenePro protein powder and not have your foods taste like a chemical lab experiment?! 🤷🏼♀️😂 -
I wanted to just say that I have been investgating GENEPRO about the protein. I went to 2 different studies and it is true. GENEPRO has 30grams of protein per serving. Which is 1 Tablespoon. If anyone is interested in the links just let me know. Have a great TUESDAY!!!

Most of the posts about Genepro sound like this to me.

I’m like a little kid
TakingABreak replied to TakingABreak's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Oh I must have mixed you up with someone else. I did see you posted about the thickening stuff. I will say that the purred stage sucked for me. I bought a fancy NutriBullet and I have a Vitamix. Neither one was helpful when it came to liquefying things that actually tasted or looked good. My suggestion, go out onto Vitamix's website and they have several REALLY good soup recipes. They are all completely smooth and you can mix it up with any blender (with tweaks here and there). The butternut squash is my favorite! I used bone broth for added protein. I lived on soup and protein shakes. It was pretty much like an extra week of full liquids. I did buy GenePro unflavored protein powder. It has the BEST bang for your buck when it comes to protein. It also requires very little powder per serving, which is helpful when mixing with soup and what not. But I mixed that with refried beans and mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes (not every meal, but yes I did eat them). -
Syntrax Nectars are nice, I like all the fruit flavors and they're quite high protein. You should be able to drink clear broth as well, doesn't your program allow that on clear liquids? You can add protein to it...I use GENEPRO unflavored protein and I can't detect it once I mix it into a beverage or food...what brand are you using? Another thing to consider is that maybe you're sensitive to the sweetener in your protein shakes? I hate both aspertame (not in a lot of protein) and sucralose (in virtually every flavored protein), so I switched to Genepro and use either stevia or monkfruit liquid to sweeten things. Thank you so much, ordered the Genepro (one tbsp. per 30 g is way better). Yes I think its the sweeteners also. I can handle Propel water so at least I am getting my 64 oz fluids (well do my best) but the protein is a challenge now which is so frustrating (also going broke buying all this stuff lol) I cant wait to the soft food stage so that I can eat eggs and other kinds of high protein stuff. I hear you about going broke...my support group loves me because for weeks I showed up with a failed Protein Powder to give away each meeting. After I switched to Genepro, no more giveaways and no more spending $30 on something that tastes awful And good for you for getting close to your 64oz so early...I'm still struggling to get it all in daily.

Since being sleeved 5 days ago, I have been having a hard time getting my protein. It is all too sweet. Upon the recommendation of this forum and checking with my nut, I ordered genepro. I tried it for the first time tonight and it's amazing. You can't even taste it. I just mix it in my crystal lite and drink away! I'm so happy.

I am also in love with GENEPRO -- I've been using it about a month and a half. Word of warning or bit of wisdom or how ever you want to say it... if you keep your drink with you on the go all day long as i do, do NOT forget it in a hot car or leave it sitting in the hot sun. The Protein powder is beloved by all, apparently, including miniscule flora in your drink. If it smells funky, it is - little algae blooms are beginning to appear and before long you will see the blooms coming out of various bits of Protein Powder stuck to the wall of your drinking cup. This will not keep me away from my genepro... just will make me do a better job of marking where my drink gets left and how much time is going by between "sips" from my shaker-bottle drink which i carry everywhere. Sniff first!

I recently bought a bunch of seasonings from Flavor God. Nacho cheese is good on pureed refried beans and mashed cauliflower. Buttered cinnamon roll is good on applesauce (helps to cover up the taste of the Genepro protein powder I add to is). Pizza is good on the famous ricotta bake. I also bought everything seasoning, taco Tuesday, and lemon garlic but haven't tried them yet. I like sugar-free caramel syrup in applesauce and tea. And I like to mix chocolate protein powder and PB2 powdered peanut butter into Oikos Triple Zero yogurt.

GENEPRO (available on Amazon) is an unsweetened Protein powder that packs 30 mg of protein in just one tablespoon. You can put it in anything you eat or drink.

I feel the need to inject my normal disclaimer about Genepro here. They *claim* to give you the "benefit" of 30 grams of protein in a 15 gram serving. But there have been no independent studies to verify this claim. So, I would take it with a grain of salt and still only count each serving as 15 grams toward my daily goal. If you ARE actually getting the benefit of more protein, then great! But if their claim turns out to be false, you could be coming in very low on your daily protein goals if you are relying heavily on Genepro to get there.

Ok everyone, here goes..... I started my one week pre-op diet today. My surgery is in one week, June 7th, 2016 and my nerves are really kicking in. I have seen several people posting their stories in this forum, so I thought I'd give it a go. It will be nice to have one place I can update everyone and keep track of my progress. After reading so many inspiring stories in this discussion thread, I hope that one day, I can do the same. I'm all stocked up on Protein shakes/ powders (Premier Protein shakes, unjury protein powders, Syntrax protein powders, and GENEPRO protein powder), broths, teas, and sugar free Jello. Luckily, my pre-op diet allows a dinner consisting of 3 ounces lean meat, 1 cup veggies, 1/2 cup fruit. Thank goodness! And now for the hard part, posting my weight. Sigh.....First, my height is 5'6" HW- 290+ SW-287 GW- 160-175 There...I did it. Hopefully, I will never see those numbers again.

I'm still figuring it out.. like the wonderslim ones...basically a cheaper version of medifast. bariatric pal has them too. They get branded several ways and are all made by the Rolbard corporation If you find a box that comes with 7 shake packets and it's a pudding and/or a shake you know you have the right ones. Love them. you can spend anywhere between $11 for the box I've seen it for $18. for just 7 shakes but they are good and can be mixed with water. Add a scoop of unflavored GenePro powder then well on the way to hitting 60 gram protein goal.

Hey! Where do you buy your Genepro from -- Amazon? Currently on Protein shakes but if I can mix it into my food later that'd be cool too. Can't wait till next week when I can have pudding. Do you think it's the best flavorless protein powder? I was going to order my genepro from Amazon but thought I would check out GNC just in case. GNC does carry it and it was a few dollars cheaper.

Some of us lose hair no matter how much protein we intake. It’s a process called telogen effluvium— http://drnichter.com/hair-loss-after-surgery-explained/ Like you I couldn’t possibly get in all my protein requirements without supplementation till well after a year post op, my restriction was too high. Try switching your shake! If it’s whey isolate move to one with caesin or whey concentrate or a combination. Or try plant based protein. Just stay away from collagen or genepro.

Protein powder recommendations?
brazos2425 replied to boosh10's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I have been using GENEPRO scince I came home from the hospital 3weeks ago because the sweetness in the shakes I had pre-op make me gag now...go figure. 6am and 6pm 1 cup braums FF milk + 1/2 scoop Genepro=25G each cup and it adds 16oz to my Fluid intake. I add it to my chili, my refried Beans, cant even taste it. Some people even use it coffee *****LOVE THIS STUFF ***** -
I tried mixing one of the protein powders with water and it was really gross. It wasn’t as bad with crystal light but I think I still had the bad taste in my memory (it was too soon) cause I couldn’t drink it all. Mine was genepro which is supposed to be unflavored but I could taste it and so could my husband.

Can I increase my protein this way?

Genepro is my go-to unflavored protein too! -
Best scrambled eggs ever!
RedSalamander replied to RedSalamander's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good ideas, all! I had cream of wheat (with a half-scoop of genepro!) this morning. FOOOOOD! -
Sleeved 8/25 Hw 247 Sw 240 Cw 203 Almost to that ONEderland!!! Have been stalled for over a week. Of course it would happen right before getting out of the 200's. Lol. Feeling great. Need to exercise more but time is a huge issue for me. I take 30g of GENEPRO daily and try to get the rest of my Protein in with solid food. If for some reason I don't, then I'll take more genepro in the evening. I work nights (5pm-5am) so my schedule is a nightmare and I think it adds to my slow weight loss. But hey, I'm 44 lbs lighter than I was 2 months ago, so I'm happy! Oh, hair loss has started. Not pleased with that part. Luckily I have very long thick hair. I hope it doesn't continue too long. I do notice a couple areas it is thinning. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Protein Shakes & what kind/Brand
mylighthouse replied to CantStopMeNow's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello, I have tried a couple different brands and found that my favorite is the Premier Protein shake in chocolate. An 11 oz serving has 30 grams of protein. It's a good shake, doesn't taste chalky at all. You can find them at quite a few different stores including Walmart and Sam's Club, with Sam's Club carrying the 12 pack for a really good price. For unflavored Protein powder, I have tried GENEPRO, unjury and Isopure. So far, taste wise, I like Genepro the best, but was disappointed when I heard that Genepro's claims of 30 grams of protein per serving may not be true. My nutritionist said to stay away from Genepro. Therefore, out of the three brands that I've tried, Unjury and Isopure are my favorites. I used them in the full liquid stage after surgery.... mixed them in my cream of celery Soup. Now at 12 weeks post op, I still use the unflavored protein powder in my iced decaf unsweet tea. Tastes great. Hope that helps. -
Gastric Bypass in Memphis
Tarver11 replied to LakeishaNicole's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Thank you! Yes I had the gastric bypass (laparoscopic), I have 4 small incision scars and 1 small scar where the drain was. I take 2 Flinstones Complete, 4 Calcium Citrate (500mg) 3000mcgs of biotin (helps with hair loss/regrowth) and B12. I do not buy the bariatric vitamins that are sold, all of mine come from Walgreens (I would guess i spend ~20$ per month on vitamins). I do supplement my protein with Genepro unflavored medical grade protein from GNC, I go thru a tub of it about every week and half to 2 weeks, it runs about $38. However the $ i spend on not eating fast food or diet sodas more than equals out monthly. I also no longer buy a meal when my husband and I go out, I generally just get an appetizer or maybe an add on like a skewer of shrimp...so cost wise Its definitely a wash. -
100% whey protein isolate
cindyw41 replied to RoadToMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would be careful of GENEPRO.. I haven't found any unbiased research on it. 30 gr of Protein in one TBS seems too good to be true. I like unjury. I have all the favors. The chicken Soup isn't the best but for a protein soup it works. The strawberry is good mixed with lemon crystal light. I Doctor up the vanilla and chocolate with syrups, fruit or PB2. The unflavored is good in recipes
