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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
