Question for people who use Genepro protein powder
carolk36 replied to Amyly2n's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Nope, it's not chalky either. It disappears! I've been told by my NUT to always use whey isolate and not whey concentrate because the isolate is more absorbable so I was concerned that the GENEPRO Protein didn't say either. I sent the info to my NUT and she said the peptide was just a smaller form of the isolate so I was good to go. I told my surgeon's office about it and they now add it to their list of recommended Proteins for new patients. I gave away all the other proteins I had bought because I just couldn't stand the whey smell and taste. Genepro is the only one I use now. I hope it works as well for you! Carol -
Question for people who use Genepro protein powder
carolk36 replied to Amyly2n's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
@@Okiebon I am scheduled for my 3 month follow-up next week, and I assume I will be getting bloodwork then. I'll post and let you know after I get my results. I also have a friend I met in our support group who is a month ahead of me, who is also using only GENEPRO, and I'll contact her and see if she's had blood work yet and what her results were. So far, I've had no problems. I've not noticed any hair loss yet and I have tons of energy, and my weight loss is pretty steady. Carol -

I use the pre mixed Premier protein drinks from SAMs/Costco. They are a little pricy but 30g protein and tastes like a chocolate milk. I'm not a fan of these protein powders because if they don't mix well I can't get them down! I had my surgery on 12/12 so am still taking baby steps to 'normal' food. I found a product called genepro on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00K6OSDYA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1422081162&sr=8-1) that is 30g protein in a small scoop. I've read people put it in their coffee, I add it to my light cream soup and stir it up till it's dissolved in. (Don't put it in your water it makes it a very foggy color and doesn't dissolve well) I can't stand the isopure it tastes really nasty in my opinion! I have tried these protein waters and the grape isn't bad! Just keep trying you'll find something that works for you! attachment=51087:ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1422081372.189330.jpg] -

Protein supplements - What is the highest # of protein with the lowest volume to have to drink?
KristenLe replied to LittleLizzieLilliput's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am having the same problem but nowhere near 75gms of protein. I just ordered Genepro unflavored protein to add to my mushy foods or drinks. I'm drinking Isopure pre-made protein drink for now. -
Any Seattle/Tacoma Sleevers with surgeries approaching?
kadie777 replied to kadie777's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I like optimum nutrition gold standard mocha cappuccino, syntrax nectar fuzzy navel and kiwi strawberry, and chike coffee protein. You can buy samples from Nashua nutrition website. I also have genepro which can be mixed with other beverages or soft foods. -
There are mixed opinions about the science behind GENEPRO so do your own research there. You've gotten great advice here I don't need o add more! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Any Second Thoughts while on pre-op Diet?
mommy319 replied to tcshrink's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There are plenty out there. My surgeon sells his own brand of shakes and i was not a fan of the price or taste. I ordered syntrax nectars and matrix they have a guarantee. If you dont like it they will refund you. I liked some flavors prior to surgery but not after. I also use genepro clear protein with no flavor from amazon. There is something out there comparable to what your surgeon pushes im sure. Good luck! -
The Genepro argument - and it always turns into an argument - basically boils down to the people who use it refuse to accept they are wrong. MuscleGen had to come clean and admit they were lying,but the people who were fooled don't want to admit they were fooled. I get it, it's embarrassing to be wrong sometimes. But adamantly refusing to accept the truth only makes the person look more foolish. Perfect example was when I used to preach the substitution of pork rinds for anything crunchy, because... you know, they are pure protein! Well, when I finally understood that collagen protein is worthless I had to fess up and admit I was wrong. (I will admit that we still use the rinds to coat our fish when we air fry them.)

Unflavored Protein
moondoggie1983 replied to debbie89's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also use the Unjury, but I’m considering the GENEPRO. I’ve seen labs that have been drawn that were GENEPRO vs regular and the GENEPRO labs actually did have more protein in the blood than the others. Not a drastic amount, but every little bit counts. My advice is to do your own research before you don’t consider GENEPRO at all. There are a lot of independent studies out there. -
Mine is Tuesday, Aug 1 also. I started mine on Thursday. Had an awful headache all day. Not use to a lot of sweats and although they don't taste bad, 3 Premier Protein shakes a day was too much, Broth was good. I used home-canned turkey-vegetable broth. You can flavor up plain broth with spices. Since I am only required to do liquid only on Monday,chicken breast just to eat I received my genepro 2 I ordered and tried with my broth. For me, it worked just as claimed (maybe a slight tinge of smell) but it did dissolve completely in broth when prepared as directed first. Made the liquid diet easy now. I've done fine with not eating. Knowing this is just temporary and I will eat again is not a problem. I cook for my family and no temptation. Just have to remember NOT to taste out of habit. I did have an hour last night when I suddenly became extremely nervous and questioning if I was doing the right thing, but I got on here and read and calmed myself. I'm excited and scared(a little) but, it this is for my health. Praying for no complications because I am a self-pay with no coverage for complications.

POLL: How true did you follow the pre-op liquid diet?
JamieLogical replied to TealSister's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
To the OP, I would encourage you to do your research regarding GENEPRO before hopping on this bandwagon. -
Nervous and not sure what I should be doing to prepare

Genepro unflavored. It really and truly is flavorless. I add it to crystal lite. It can be added to everything! -
Very upset after nutritionist appointment
Boldilocks replied to Simples's topic in Vegetarian or Vegan Eating
I'm vegetarian too. The number I was told was at least 65g of protein - which still seems like a lot. This last week I have been able to get over 100g consistently by pumping up my morning shake (I continue to do a protein shake for breakfast because I am not a breakfast person, and have been doing this for years). I use Fairlife milk which has more protein instead of regular skim, a scoop of my protein powder, and add a scoop of Genepro flavourless powder as well. That shake is really filling, and has a tonne of protein. It sets me up for the rest of the day. Anything I can, I add the Genepro to - Greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal, my bariatricpal chili and curry. The scoops are very small and it dissovles easily if you stir slowly. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K6OSDYA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 My nutritionist also said that it gets easier the further out you get and you don't need these massive amounts of protein forever. You will be able to tweak your macros as you get to maintenance to what works for you. -

cutebutcrzy replied to Bamachicvsg's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Have you tried Genepro? It's unflavored and doesn't change the texture of the food. I literally have been putting it in everything but my water. Herbal tea, pudding, soup, yogurt, etc. I have really big issues with food textures and it's been great. I agree that I can't handle the taste of any of the other protein drinks. They make me want to gag. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app -
ugh to the liquid diet!
Christina.Rose replied to OhHeyMarina's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh, also....I have read a lot of people that use GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder because its 30g protein in a tablespoon.....conflicting opinions on how much protein can fit into a tablespoon.....but that would be less shake drinking and still a lot of protein.

Good morning, my surgery is Tuesday and the stress is hitting. What did everyone “eat” the first week? I know it is all about the protein but what did you use? Has anyone used Genepro?

2 week liquid diet
Yardsleever replied to KaylaWls1216's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Omg how!!! How are you doing it i been on this diet for a while and I'm just yoyoing 3 lbs.... they schedule my surgery for January 12th but I haven't lost any weight on this liquid diet.... what do you do in a day? Bouncy Conyers Hi Bouncy! Breakfast: Premier Protein shake Snack: sugar free Jell-O Lunch: 1 cup of chicken broth Snack: sugar free Jell-O Dinner: Premier Protein shake or 1 cup of chicken broth. I also drink lots of Water, Crystal lite, or Power Aid Zero. I use GENEPRO Tasteless Protein powder mixed in a 16oz. bottle of water with some crystal lite once a day. I try to keep my Protein intake between 60-90 grams. Hope this helps. As of today 12/3/16 I'm down 16 Lbs Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App This is similar to the routine I am following, except I mix the Genepro in with my broth at dinner time. It makes this a bit easier. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App -
My nutritionist recommended Genepro, so I bought a can. Then I started reading about it. The serving size is 15 grams, but they claim 30 grams of Protein is contained in that 15 gram serving. There is also an asterisk or two next to that. Watching their promotional video is like science fiction. They are claiming to shrink molecules down to smaller sizes so they can get all 30 grams in. We have a saying out in the country about trying to fit two pounds of poop into a one pound bag. I will not be buying it again. I have been drinking various flavors of Gold Standard. Now that I am back to food, I am eating meat with a side of meat, and have cut way back on the shakes.

Are you just adding your GENEPRO to plain Water? That could be why ou can taste it. If you drink coffee, tea or something hot it works great!! But...add it to a little hot water and whisk it a little before you add it to something. My hubby adds it to his chocolate Almond Milk, do the same thing with a whisk. I have done that also. But I have to shoot it like a shot of alcohol. LOL
