Question about gene pro.



Recommended Posts

Those who have used it, have you had labs drawn afterwards? Were your levels good? I'm not able to tolerate the Protein Shakes, its making me extremely nauseous. I just purchased this and hoping I'm not doing myself more harm by using this instead of trying to choke down the others.

I can't speak directly on this, but I remember someone on BP saying that it was recommended by Johns Hopkins and was 100% Protein isolate. It that is true, it's good. I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and really like it. I don't feel like I have to choke it down. The taste is very clean, not like medicine at all. By the way, if you like chocolate, their chocolate Splendor, mixed with sugarless Silk Soymilk + 1 1/2 Tb. malted milk powder tastes just like a real chocolate malt!

Auri--I'm of course not post-op yet---but I'm using it now on my pre-op diet. I mix it with broth and V-8 juice (makes like a Tomato soup) and I don't taste it AT ALL. And it's 30g of protein!!

I purchased GENEPRO earlier today. The 30g Protein and no flavor was a selling point for me. I find Protein shakes revolting so far. Yes, I will drink them and pretend they taste good but I will gladly give them up. I am thinking the trick is to add the powder to things that are more familiar. I don't usually drink chocolate shakes but adding Protein Powder to broth and V8 sounds appealing. It will be a salty break.

you can go to their site and order samples, that is what i did. I hit all the providers of Protein products and supplements, and emailed them all requesting samples. i have gotten really good responses, and lots of things to try

I had the same question as the OP about GENEPRO.

Has anyone actually had blood work done to check their Protein levels since starting on GENEPRO? I mean lab results from your own doctor that show it works as they claim it does?

I'm interested, but their claims sound too good to be true. I don't want to take it thinking I'm getting the Protein my body needs after bypass surgery and then find out it's all a sham. But I haven't seen one review yet that's supported by factual evidence of protein levels in the body after taking the product for any length of time.

Have you had any other noticeable results (or problems) since you started taking Genepro?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
