My doctor told me about a Protein called GENEPRO yoh can get at GNC. Or had 30 grams of Protein, is flavorless and you can put 1 tsp(?) Into any beverage and it will not change the taste. You could try that and get your protein in.

If you are less than a year out and hungry at the time, especially immediately after surgery. You need to be on a PPI.

I'm hungry often because my metabolism is super charged. I'm an active person.

I eat every 2 hours, dense Protein.

If you eat carbs you will just want more carbs Since we can eat endless amount of carbs, starting carbs is a bad idea.

Are you a vegan?

Google search genpro, is is snake oil with little to no scientific proof to support their claims of being able to defy all known physics.

No, I haven't. Do you have the name of it? I would like to search it. I'm not a member of Costco, but have friends who are. I like the idea of my protein being flavorless because then I can put it in anything, plus my husband can use it to when we work out.

Hey, im 4 months out and i can relate. Theres days when im on overdrive that im famished and want to eat a horse. Takes alot to stick to my diet. I drink the Premier Protein shakes from bjs/costco. 30g Protein each whenever that happens n it helps curb my appetite a bit. Good luck.

I was using genepro but my NUT said stay away. It's false advertising. And that it's impossible to get 32 G protein in I tbls. I went back to injury unflavored. Little flavor but not bad at all.

Gene pro does have a lot of bad publicity and several pending lawsuits. I use paleo egg white powder I just put a 2 tbs on my pureed food or in my yogurat I can add more. In my Protein Drinks I had 4 tbs

30grams is 25grams of protein., and only 108 calories 1 carb

I never lost my hunger. I'm only 9 weeks out but I struggle with hunger pangs all the time.

same here. everyone kept saying that it was just in my head. I was having serious hunger pains and i was told that it could be just digestive issues. personally i know how both things feel and i still say it is hunger pain.

Are you taking a PPI? Acid can mimic hunger. At 9 weeks all of the nerves are not even reconnected to your stomach for you to feel hunger. Your body doesn't know the stomach is reduced yet and is still producing acid for a full size stomach.

I'm almost 2 years out and I have to go almost 24 hours without eating to feel hungry. The entire first year I had zero physical hunger

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
