All I want to do is cheat on my diet
NerdySongBird replied to 90’schild's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can't stand the shakes because I'm really not a big fan of sweets. I just moved on to the soft solids stage of my diet and the hard part for me is separating liquids from meals. I reccomend Genepro protein powder because a tiny scoop is 30g of protein. You can put it in just about anything and it's amazing! And when you advance your diet there is a keto version of pretty much everything you crave. Hang in there! Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app -
I like Genepro. Been using it for a long time as practically my sole protein source, mixes with everything. My labs came out great (i.e. Total serum, Albumin/Globulin) every time so I keep using it. In the past, I have written the company to ask for some data on a particular lot I bought but to no avail. As I said in a prior thread, maybe they just don't want to give out any hints of their purification process. I can understand that since their product is quite different than most protein sources out there. I use it when what I naturally eat that day doesn't hit my protein mark, it comes quite handy (soups, drinks, hot or cold). Nature's best Isopure (lots of other companies as well) was part of a class action suit for protein spiking and misrepresenting the concentration of their protein. Personally, I never tried the unflavored, so I wouldn't know about the miscibility aspect of it.

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. -
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.

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 Recommendations
Elizabeth21 replied to jenniferg2013's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I weaned off shakes altogether beginning week 3, so hang in there, you won't have to deal with them forever. I also added unflavored Protein to foods/drinks to up protein intake without using shakes. (I like it in diet lemonade and bouillon.) I ordered GENEPRO from Amazon.com. One teaspoon adds 10 grams protein. Good luck! -

What do you eat in a day to get 70-80 G Protein
MaybeMeow replied to loridee11's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Over 60 is my daily goal. 30 gram homemade smoothie (Fage Greek, Pb2, Genepro, Banana Almond Milk) 2 oz ground beef = 16 grams pro 2 oz peel and eat shrimp. = 15 pro = 61. Sometimes I add a Weight Watchers cheese stick for 6 more grams = 67 total. This is a typical day. Sometimes it chicken instead of ground beef. The shrimp is sometimes scallops. -
My Hunger Has Returned!!
Honeybee17 replied to jessjames's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't think that's the same thing. This was referred by my bariatric surgeon. It is called GenePro and is sold by GNC. Look at the GNC website. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app -

Can you have broth with Genepro (unflavored protein)? My surgeon requires Bariatrics Advantage shakes. -
Best flavorless protein powder?
Sherrie Scharbrough replied to ebroms17's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I hesitate to even say this. I got some back talk from talking about it before. But...I have tried many proteins and couldn't do them. Until I found GENEPRO I add it to my Espresso everyday. Some say that it isn't good because they say it has 30grams of protein in 1 tablespoon. Even Bariatric store on here sells it. I buy my on line. If you are worrid about it ask your Dr first. It is the only unflavored protein I have found that mixes well and doesn't taste bad. Good Luck -
My nutritionist said that if you "chew, chew, chew, chew, chew" you are pureeing the food in your mouth. I have a REALLY hard time chewing my food thoroughly, i have always wolfed down my food. I haven't had an issue, thank goodness! But I agree with the above poster, try beans, eggs, yogurt, soup, pudding. If you do like pudding, add some Genepro or any powdered protein, or make it with a protein shake to up it's protein. Good luck!

I love GENEPRO! I mix it in crystal light. If you don't believe it has the 30 gram double up. If it makes you feel better. I love it because all the other proteins make me nauseous . This mixes in and has no taste at all.

What is the best unflavored protein?
Ronab replied to mamamia86's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Of those of you who use Genepro, are you still using it and do you still like it? I am having trouble getting my protein in and need to find a way to add it to my liquids or meals. -
Thanks for the advice, I had a few more meals (2oz each) today because I was so hungry, but feel discouraged about going over the 600 calorie goal. I'm eating cottage cheese, 15g protien sugar free Greek yogurt, soft cheese, sugar free Jello and yogurt. That's what I eat most of.

Looking for people that had their surgery on January 24th or close to it.
dvmp61 replied to Misty Barnhart's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes I'm on liquids until day 16 *sigh* I'm still trial and error with everything so far the only things I like are sf pudding, fudgesicles, and my crystal light, still trying to find a Protein powder I like because as of now I use GENEPRO but don't know if I should trust it has 30 grams or not. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App My doctor's office recommended a product called unjury. You have to order it from their website, but they deliver quickly. I like them because they have a sample pack for about $21, and you get 2 packets each of their Protein shakes, 2 of their chicken broth, and 2 unflavored. The kit also comes with a mixing plastic tumbler and a thermometer. This way I can try it inexpensively. So far, I've tried the soup and it was good! Just a recommendation.

From the GENEPRO website: "The combination of the Tri-Protein and the way it is processed along with the addition of protease enzymes, allows for the equivalent of a 30gram** (we haven't broken the laws of physics with getting a 15g weight to equal 30g in weight but with the absorbability/bioavailability value of Genepro Gen2 you are getting the equivalent of the same 30g serving size of regular whey protein) serving of protein with only a 1 TBSP serving size." They also recently published a Genepro Gen2 Clinical Study.

I take unflavored GenePro. I got it from Amazon and it’s 30 grams for a small scoop. I put it in my mug of chicken broth. You can put this in anything. I hate shakes!

How do u get ur protein?
CheleLynn45 replied to culmer's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I will be 7 weeks post op tomorrow. This is my daily routine....... Breakfast: 32 or 24oz of decaf tea (32oz on my days off, 24oz on workdays) with GENEPRO unflavored Protein mixed in, Tbsp fat free creamer, and two tsp splenda. 31grams Lunch: RTD Premiere Protein shake (I alternate between the vanilla and chocolate) 30grams Dinner: This is where it varies on what I eat, but I usually get between 15-20grams depending on what I eat. So my total protein for the day varies between 72-80grams daily. My surgeon has me on two shakes and one small meal daily only. I thought this would be hard to do, but it really isn't because I really don't feel hungry. That I like. I am gonna work this tool as much as I can in the beginning because I know it will get harder as the months go on. Good luck on your journey!!! -
Pre & Post Op diet
motherboard replied to snugelkin's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try GENEPRO. Its flavorless and some GNC carry it for 40 bucks (I think). I add it to my already mix Protein shake for the extra protein. There are alot of people here that love Genepro. -
3 days post OP- nausea, dry heaving, incision pain, not eating...
cutebutcrzy replied to Bamachicvsg's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yesterday I actually felt like I had a more difficult time getting in the correct number fluids than day 1 and 2 as well as more pain at the large incision. A nurse I spoke with said some people have more pain etc days 3-6 so hopefully it will get better soon. I've just been adding Genepro to Crystal light to get in some protein.

The 56 Bypass replied to The 56 Bypass's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am mixing one TBLSP of Genepro (30g protein) in my yogurt, cottage cheeses, etc, to get in the needed protein. Its available on Amazon and worth it. Absolutely no taste. I can't drink the protein shakes....ugh! Genepro is my life saver!
